ventilation, allow a free air space of at least 20 cm around
the sides and top of the unit.
!Never aim the output nozzle at open flames.
!If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified
personnel in order to avoid a hazard.
!The output nozzle becomes very hot during operation
0
(300 C). Keep flammable materials at least 50 cm away
from the nozzle.
!Always allow your ANTARI X Fogger to cool down before
attempting to clean or service it.
Danger of Explosion
!Never add flammable liquids of any kind (oil, gas, perfume)
to the fog liquid.
!Use only the high-quality, water-basedANTARI fog liquid.
Other fog liquids may cause clogging or "spitting".
!Always make sure there is sufficient liquid in the fog liquid
tank. Operating this unit without liquid will cause damage
to the pump as well as over-heating of the heater.
!If your ANTARI Fog Machine fails to work properly,
discontinue use immediately. Drain all fog liquid from the
tank, pack the unit securely (preferably in the original
packing material), and return it to your ANTARI dealer for
service.
!Always drain tank before mailing or transporting this unit.
!Never drink fog liquid. If it is ingested, call a doctor
immediately. If fog liquid comes in contact with skin or
eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
Important:
Pay attention to all warning labels and instructions printed on
the exterior of your ANTARI X Fogger.
Unpacking &Inspection
Open the shipping carton and verify that all equipment
necessary to operate the system has arrived intact.
Before beginning initial setup of your ANTARI Fog Machine,
make sure that there is no evident damage caused by
transportation. In the event that the unit's housing or cable is
damaged, do not plug it in and do not attempt to use it until

after contacting your ANTARI dealer for assistance.
Setup
!Remove all packing materials from shipping box. Check
that all foam and plastic padding is removed, especially in
the nozzle area.
!Place fog machine on a flat surface and remove fog liquid
tank cap.
!Fill with only ANTARI Fog Fluid. ANTARI X Fogger only
works with uncontaminated ANTARI Fog Fluid. Other
fluids may cause spitting and serious clogging problem and
could result in the production of an unhealthful fog. The use
of other fluids voids the warranty of the ANTARI X Fogger.
When filled, place cap back on liquid tank.
!Firmly attach the control module cable to the connector
inside the rear chamber of the machine.
WARNING:
Use of any fluid other than ANTARI fog fluid or
modification or attempted to unauthorized repair of the X
Fogger will immediately invalidate the warranty.
Operation
!The plug is positioned that the plug is accessible when used
machine.
!Plug power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Turn
power switch on rear of unit to " ON" position. Warm-up is
complete when the display on control module shows "
Ready to Fog."
!To emit fog, press the appropriate button on the control
module for the desired length of time.
!The control unit's display will cycle " Warming up" and "
Ready to Fog " as the machine re-heats to the proper
operating temperature.
!When the fluid is running low, the LED inside the tank
chamber starts blinking for two minutes and then stop
operation to protect the pump from running dry..
!Always monitor liquid level to prevent interrupted
operation.
!For further information on operating your ANTARI X
Fogger, see the section titled, "Control Module Operation"
on page 4.
Caution: "Visibility during operation is reduced"
If your model includes a mounting bracket designed for
overhead installation, it may be installed at floor level or
suspended overhead. If the unit is to be mounted using the
bracket, it is important that the fog does not shoot directly at

any one's face. Whatever installation method you choose, do
not allow the unit to have more than a 15 degree angle of
inclination.
Important:
Always monitor tank fluid level as you are fogging. Running
a fog machine with no fluid can permanently damage the
unit.
If you experience low output, pump noise or no output at all,
unplug immediately. Check fluid level, the external fuse,
control module connection, and power from the wall. If all of
the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. If fog
does not come out after holding the control module button
down for 30 seconds, check the hose attached to the tank to
make sure there is fluid going through the hose. If you are
unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not simply
continue pushing the control module button, as this may
damage the unit. Return the machine to your ANTARI dealer
immediately.
