Foreword
Thank you very much for choosing the DJPOWER X-1 Dry Ice Machine. This
item is a compact and portable dry-ice fogger generating huge amount of thick
ground-hugging fog. It is pretty stable for the durable corrosion-resistant
polyethylene housing.
Before start operating the unit, we strongly suggest to read the user manual
carefully. Following the instructions in the user manual will ensure long-term
stable and satisfactory effects.Please follow these operation, safety and
maintainance instructions to ensure the machine’s normal work and prolong its
usage life.
How to get and store the dry ice.
Please prepare the dry ice before usage due to it will sublimate with time.
Storing it into a adiabatic or heat-isolated container can help mitigate the
disappearance.Usually the seller of dry ice would supply the container when
you buy the dry ice.
There are many shapes of dry ice, such as powder, granule, bulk, and globe.
Among these, small globular one is the best,because there is no need to
break it. If for a big massive one, you must break it into small pieces. Before
that, please cover the bulk with cloth to avoid the dry ice fragments hurting
eople.
Introduction
X-1 is a professional dry ice machine which produces thick, white fog that hugs
the floor and dissipates without rising. The powerful machine heats enough
water to create fog from 8kg of dry ice to provide 8 minutes of run time. Output
and flow are easily controlled by adjustable multi-level control arm. Dual
heaters allow for faster heat-up and recycle time. The unique design allows
remaining dry ice to be stored temporarily in the machine for next uses within
20 min. A low water sensor increases safety.
Features
Aerodynamics based design instead of traditional fan-driven;
Rotational molded body with insulated high-intensity composite material, Light
and compact, only 14kg;
Durable and extremely low failure rate;
Dual heaters ( 1,500 W / 3,000 W ) allow for faster heat-up (only 30 min) ;
Clear water level display and low water sensor;
Note: Requirements towards Solid CO (Dry ice). Please use
2
columnar dry ice. To achieve best effects, the size of dry ice
should be as big as thumb.

Create strong fog from at most 8kg of dry ice one time to cover max 250㎡;
5 minutes of run time when full on, 10 minutes of run time when 50% output;
All stainless-steel metal parts, firm, durable and extremely low failure rate;
Easy to pour out the remaining water after use;
Increase safety with low-water and temperature sensors that automatically
shut off heaters;
Manipulate the output and flow with the adjustable, multi-level control handle;
Safety Precautions
Ensure that any operation of the machine is supervised by trained and
authorized personnel.
Do not modify the machine or use a machine which has been damaged .
Protect the machine from any direct weather effects and wet locations.
Do not continue to produce fog when visibility is reduced to 50cm or below.
Avoid directing fog output at people, structures or objects within close
proximity of the nozzle.
Ensure that adequate exhausting equipments are available in the event of an
emergency.
The Dry Ice Fogger Principal
Dry Ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide. With its ability to sublimate, transform
from the form of solid to gas without generating liquid and its low temperature
up 87.5 Celsius degree, the dry-ice-based fogger come into being. When
immersed in hot water or boiling water, the dry ice sublimates which will stir the
water violently and spray many water droplets into the air. The released cold
CO gas will cause the water vapor in the air to form more droplets. This great
2
expansion of gas pushed moisture out of the machine. Because when exposing
to the relative cold air, it sinks to the floor, plus the droplets in the air, low fog
effects then come into being.
Opening the package and inspecting the machine
Please make sure the machine is in good condition after opening the package.
If there is any damage, please contact with your dealer directly and do not
power on the machine

Operation
Place the machine on a firm and level surface where it will be used. Take off the
lid and fill with about 5 gallons(18 liters) water(hot or cold). Connect the unit to
power, when the red light is on, it means the machine is heating up.
Plug the cord into a grounded 22-amp receptacle. The heater draws 11 amps at
230 volts.
While the machine is heating up, raise the built-in basket to its highest level
and fasten it with the black handle on the side of the machine.
After steaming the water for approximately 30-50 minutes, the machine will be
ready to use.
Using protective gear load, the basket can hold 8 kilograms (about 18 lbs) of
dry ice. Please Note: Usually the dry ice being used here cover 2/3 of the whole
basket. Put into the dry ice at the last possible moment when needed, because
the steamy atmosphere in the machine will make the dry ice inside evaporate if
it is put inside too long beforehand.
After holding the dry ice, tighten the lid, and screw the lid latch according to the
instruction of imprint.
When the fog is in need, grasp the operation lever and slowly lower the handle.
A full basket should not be plunged into the hot water completely, because the
violent dry-ice sublimating would result in high and dangerous pressure in the
housing . The operation lever is used to allow the basket to move up and down
in the water. As the solid CO is immersed, thick cloud-like fog will be produced
2
from the nozzle. To increase the rate, lower the lever to the end. Fully raising
the handle will quickly stop the fog output. Thus it is possible to realize the
“ON” and “OFF” control by adjusting the operation lever.
When the machine is to be emptied, allow it to cool. Empty the remaining water
in the machine to buckets where the machine stands rather than carrying it to
drain. Do not move the machine with hot or boiling water in.
Maintainance
Keeping lid latch slightly oiled will protect them and allow them to operate
easily.
Make sure no other barriers in the rubber lid seal, otherwise it will allow gas
escape through the lid gasket.
When you heat up the machine, leave the lid off. This prevents the carry
handles from getting hot before adding dry ice.
Do not pour cold water directly onto hot heating element as this will cause

premature failure.
To replace the components or repair a broken seal:
a. Remove components or clean.
b. Replace the rubber gaskets and sealing washers. Do not reuse the old
ones.
c. Tighten bolts evenly to compress the seal.
