cold temperatures and dampness. Furthermore, no powerful transformers or motors must be

used close to the device.

When setting up the device, make sure that the power cord and the remote control cable are

not crushed and cannot be damaged by any sharp edges.

Do not drill or screw additional screws into the casing in order to fasten the device. This may

expose dangerous voltage to touch.

Never operate the device on ﬂammable surfaces or close to ﬂammable objects. Always keep

a distance of at least 3 m from ﬂammable or potentially explosive objects.

Observe that the fog and soap bubble exit opening (6) is not pointed at persons, animals or open

ﬂames. The escaping hot fog may cause burns (comply with a safety distance of 2 m).

Ensure a sucient ventilation of the device, maintain a free zone of 0.5 m around the device and

never cover the ventilation openings.

Never place the device on an unstable underground. Ensure that it does not fall down and

cause injury.

The operating position of the device is horizontal so that the tanks cannot spill when ﬁlling and

in operation.

The device must be set up out of normal reach. If it is set up in an elevated location, make sure

no one can enter the space beneath the setup location (danger of slipping and injury through

hot fog liquid, soap bubble ﬂuid and their residues).

During installation or service work, the area below the place of setup must be cordoned o.

The area or equipment of installation or setup must be designed in such a way that it can sup

-

port the tenfold rated load for at least one hour without being deformed permanently.

It is also essential that the device is secured by means of a second safety restraint that is

independent of the actual mounting supports when installing it in an elevated position. No part

of the installation must fall down if the main suspension system fails.

All statutory regulations applicable in the respective country must be observed when instal

-

ling and setting up the device.

25

Acceptance test (in case of industrial/public use):

Before ﬁrst use and after any signiﬁcant modiﬁcations, the installation (including the electrical

connections) must be inspected by an ocial expert.

A yearly inspection by an expert is required.

At least every 4 years, an acceptance test must be carried out by an expert.

• Set up the device under observation of the above safety notes.

• Always observe horizontal setup for this.

9. Remote Control Battery

Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Remove the battery when the device is not in use for extended periods of time.

Do not leave any batteries lying around openly. There is a risk of batteries being swallowed by

children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if they come in contact with the skin.

Therefore, use suitable protective gloves.

Do not short-circuit or dismantle the battery or throw it into ﬁre. It also must not be recharged.

Danger of explosion.

• If the remote control no longer functions properly or the range reduces strongly, the battery is dischar

-

ged and must be replaced with a new one of the same type.

• Turn the screw at the rear of the remote control out and open the housing.

• Remove the discharged battery and insert a new 12 V round cell type 23A. The proper polarity is indicated

in the remote control.

• Screw the housing of the remote control shut again.

26

10. Electric Connection

The mains socket to which the device is connected must be easily accessible so that it can be

quickly separated from the mains voltage in case of an error.

Do not let the mains cable come into contact with other cables.

Be careful when handling mains cables and mains connections. Mains voltage may cause po

-

tentially fatal electric shock.

Make sure that no cables lie around openly. Install cables professionally to prevent accidents.

Convince yourself that the device is switched o before you connect it to the power supply.

Ensure before plugging in the mains plug that the device voltage indicated on the rating plate

corresponds to the available mains voltage. Do not connect the device if the indication does

not correspond to the available mains voltage. Incorrect supply voltage may lead to irreparable

damage to the device and danger to the user.

• Install the connection cable for the wire-bound remote control up to the site from which you are going to

control the device.

• The rear of the remote control is magnetic. The remote control thus sticks to metal objects.

• Plug the plug of the wire-bound remote control into TIMER socket (1) at the back of the device.

• Plug the enclosed receiver for the radio remote control into the REMOTE (4) socket at the rear of the

device. The receiver also has a magnetic rear so that it will adhere to the housing of the device.

• Connect the low-voltage plug of the enclosed mains line to the mains connection (3) at the device‘s

back.

• Plug the mains plug into a mains socket with a protective ground contact for operation of the device.

However, do not plug in the mains plug. Before connecting the device to the power supply, you ﬁrst have

to ﬁll the tanks with fog liquid or soap bubble ﬂuid (see „Operation“).

27

11. Operation

Always pull the mains plug before ﬁlling the tanks.

Never ﬁll the tanks with ﬂammable liquids or add such to the ﬂuids. Use only suitable water-

based fog liquids and suitable soap bubble ﬂuids (for suitable ﬂuids, see online on the product

page under „Accessories“).

Never tilt the device. Liquids may leak out or enter the inside of the device and cause damage

there or injure the operator.

Make sure that no ﬂuid enters the inside of the device when you are ﬁlling it with fog liquid. This

may cause damage to the device and potentially fatal electrical shock.

Ensure that the tank for the fog ﬂuid never runs empty during operation. If this happens any-

way, the conveyor pump will switch o automatically and the yellow LED will light up in the

housing opening for the fog ﬂuid tank. Switch o the device without delay using the mains button

ON/OFF (2) and let it cool o.

Only top up the fog ﬂuid tank after the device is cooled o. The ﬁll level of the tanks is evident from

tank ﬁll level displays on the side of the device.

If no fog emerges, the device is still warming up or reheating (the green indicator LED on the

remote control is not lit).

Slight fog lag after deactivation/disconnection of a device is normal and does not suggest a

defect.

If you no longer require the device, disconnect the mains plug and let the device cool down.

Then empty the tanks. This prevents leaking of liquid during transport or storage.

a) Commissioning

• Ensure that the mains plug is not plugged in.

• Unscrew the tank cover from the device and ﬁll fog liquid into the tank. The ﬁll level can be read on the

side at the tank ﬁll display.

• Then screw on the tank closure lid again.

• Fill soap bubble ﬂuid into the ﬂuid tank below the fog and soap bubble opening (6). The rings for soap

bubble production must be able to submerse entirely into the soap bubble liquid during rotation. The ﬁll

level can be read on the side at the tank ﬁll display.

• Plug the mains plug into a mains socket with a protective ground contact.

• Switch the device on using the ON/OFF mains switch (2). With the device on, the mains switch lights up

and the device heats up.

• Heating up takes approx. 4-5 minutes.

• Once the device has reached its operating temperature, the green indicator LED on the wire-bound

remote control is lit and the device is ready for operation.

28

b) Hazer Operation

Manual Operation:

• Press the green MANUAL FOG button on the remote control.

• The device emits fog as long as you keep this button pressed.

Continuous operation:

• Press the red CONTINOUS FOG button on the remote control.

• The device emits fog permanently and the red indicator LED is lit.

• Set the desired fog quantity using the OUTPUT controller.

• To deactivate permanent operation, push the red CONTINUOUS FOG button on the remote control

again.

Interval Mode:

• Press the yellow TIMER ON/OFF button on the remote control.

• The device now emits fog time-controlledly and the yellow indicator LED is lit.

• Set the desired pause duration between fog emissions using the INTERVAL controller.

• Set the duration of the fog emissions with the DURATION controller.

• Depending on setting of the controllers INTERVAL and DURATION, the device emits fog and then pauses.

Then the described interval starts over.

• To deactivate interval operation, push the yellow TIMER ON/OFF button on the remote control again.

c) Soap Bubble Operation

• Push the activation protection bracket at the radio remote control down to expose the operating but

-

tons.

• Pull the telescopic aerial of the remote control out completely.

• Push this button ON to start soap bubble production.

• Push this button OFF to start soap bubble production.

• To empty the tank for the soap bubble ﬂuid after operation, put a collection vessel below the drain socket

TAP (5) at the rear of the device and open the closure plug. Let the entire soap bubble ﬂuid drain from the

machine and close the drain socket TAP (5) again.

Slightly tip the device backwards for easier draining of the soap bubble ﬂuid.

29

12. Maintenance

Check the technical safety of the product regularly, e.g. for damage to the connection cables or to the

casing.

If you have reason to believe that the device can no longer be operated safely, disconnect it immediately

and make sure it is not operated unintentionally.

It can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible if:

• there is visible damage to the device, remote controls or cables

• the device no longer works

• the device was stored under unfavourable conditions for an extended period of time

• after exposure to extraordinary stress caused by transport

Always observe the following warning notes before cleaning or servicing the device:

Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts are removed (unless this can be

done without tools).

Connection points may also be live.

Before reconciliation, maintenance, repair or replacement of parts or assemblies, the device

must be disconnected from all voltage sources if it has to be opened.

If servicing of or repairs on the opened device are necessary, such must be carried out by a

specialist who is familiar with the risks involved and with the relevant regulations.

Capacitors inside the device may still carry voltage even though they have been disconnected

from all power sources.

a) Fuse Replacement

If it becomes necessary to replace a fuse, make sure that only fuses of the prescribed type and nominal

current are used (see „Technical Data“).

Never repair fuses or bridge the fuse holder.

• Unplug the mains plug from the mains socket and disconnect the low-voltage cable from the mains

connection (3) at the device.

• Carefully open the fuse holder with the faulty fuse next to the mains connection (3) using a suitable

screwdriver.

• Remove the defective fuse and replace it with a new fuse of the indicated type.

• Carefully push the fuse holder with the new fuse back into its position at the mains connection (3).

• After this, you can reconnect the device to the mains and take it into operation.

30

b) Cleaning

Disconnect the device from the power supply and leave it to cool down before cleaning.

The device is maintenance-free and you should therefore never open it. If you open it, the guarantee will

expire.

The device can be cleaned with a moist cloth on the outside. Never use aggressive cleaning agents, che

-

mical solutions or scouring agents as the paint coating could be damaged.

Wipe the area around the fog and soap bubble exit opening (6) clean after operation. The residue of the

soap bubble ﬂuid may otherwise damage the integrated fan and the housing‘s coat of paint.

Clean the tank and channels that come into contact with soap bubble ﬂuid by ﬁlling water into the tank for

the soap bubble ﬂuid and draining it again through the drain plug TAP (5). For this, put the device up slightly

inclined and place a collection vessel below the drain socket TAP (5).

Avoid deposits and residue in the fog ﬂuid channels by using a special fog machine cleaner. Observe the

instructions for cleaning liquid.

13. Handling

• Never connect the mains plug to a mains socket immediately after the device has been taken from a cold

to a warm environment. The resulting condensation may destroy the device.

Allow the device to reach room temperature before connecting it. Wait until the condensation has eva

-

porated.

• Never pull the mains plug from the mains socket by the cable. Only pull it from the mains socket by the

intended grip areas.

• Unplug the mains adapter from the mains socket after use.

• Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket during thunderstorms for reasons of safety.

• Never touch the device in operation or right afterwards, because this area heats up strongly particularly

in the area of the soap bubble exit opening (6). There is a danger of burns.

• Never use contaminated liquids. Always close the tanks and the storage containers for your ﬂuids imme

-

diately after ﬁlling.

• Always empty the tanks before transporting the device or if you are not using it for a longer period.

• Use only water-based fog liquids and suitable soap bubble ﬂuids. Suitable ﬂuids are listed on the product

page online under „Accessories“.

31

14. Troubleshooting

By purchasing this device, you have acquired a product designed to the state of the art and operationally

reliable.

Nevertheless, problems or errors may occur.

Therefore, we would like to describe how to eliminate possible errors here:

Always observe the safety information!

There suddenly is no fog emission in operation anymore:

• The device performs subsequent heating. Once the heating process is complete, the device will work

again.

• The device no longer is connected to the voltage supply. Check for correct connection and voltage sup

-

ply to the mains socket.

• The fog ﬂuid tank is empty. The conveyor pump has switched o automatically and a yellow LED lights up

in the area of the housing opening for the fog ﬂuid tank. Please top up fog.

The device produces fog in spite of deactivated fog operation or for a short time after deactivation/dis-

connection:

• It is not a defect. The remaining fog liquid in the still-hot fog exit opening evaporates.

No soap bubble emission even though fog operation works:

• The tank for the soap bubble ﬂuid is empty or the ﬁll level is too low. Top up. The rings for soap bubble

production must be able to submerse entirely into the soap bubble liquid during rotation.

• The battery of the radio remote control is ﬂat.

• The range of the radio remote control has been exceeded.

• The receiver for the radio remote control is not or not properly connected to the REMOTE (4) connec

-

tion.

Repairs other than those described above must only be carried out by an authorised specialist.
