LED INDICATORS (3)

The red LED lights up when there is enough water in the tank and the heater starts to heat.

The green LED illuminates when the water has reached the optimum operating temperature of 70^ C. When the green LED is lit, you can add dry ice to the basket.

OPTIONAL POWER INPUT (5)

The machine uses a lot of power. To avoid overloading your electrical circuits, you can plug the optional power input into a socket on a different circuit from the other power input. The additional power input increases the heating capacity of your machine.

PRECAUTIONS PRIOR TO USE

• Before switching on the machine, check that there is sufficient water in the tank. The minimum water level must be above the floating ball of the heater protection bar in the machine. The basket must be submerged in the water. Never use the machine without water.
• The water in the tank should be emptied after each use.
  • Always wear protective gloves when handling dry ice.

OPERATION

1. Place the machine on level ground.
2. Open the cover of the machine and pour approximately 10 litres of water into the tank. The water level must be above the floating ball inside the machine.
3. Connect the machine to the power supply. The red LED will light up.
4. Wait about 12 minutes for the green LED to light up. This means that the water has reached its operating temperature of 70^ . The lid becomes very hot during operation. DO NOT TOUCH IT!
5. Lift the basket to its highest position. Wearing protective gloves, fill the basket with dry ice.
6. Close and lock the lid.
7. Lower the basket lever to the middle position for low output or to the lowest position for high output.
8. If the fog output becomes weak, raise the basket and refill.
9. At some point you may need to add water to the tank. Unplug the machine, fill the tank to the required level and reconnect the machine. The red LED should light up, indicating that the machine is heating up. Wait for the green LED to come on.

Note: The machine has a low water protection circuit which will stop the heater if the water level is too low.
