NOTES
1) Articial snow is produced using dermatologically safe chemical additives in a water based
solution. The ‘snow’ produced should not cause any irritation or adverse eects but if found
to do so discontinue the use and refer to the COSHH sheet for the snow uid used for care
and treatment.
2) Keep any snow or uid away from the eyes, nose and mouth, contact should be treated in
accordance with the COSHH sheet for the uid.
3) Articial snow may cause discolouration or staining of delicate materials and nishes. If the
unit is to be used in a situation where the snow could come into contact with such materials
then it is recommended that a small area of the item is tested with the snow uid for suitability.
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Domestic wiring must be tested periodically by a qualied electrician at least once every 10 years
or at every change of occupancy.
For oce and retail premises, and buildings such as village halls, the wiring must be inspected at
least once every 5 years.
We recommend that this unit should be Portable Appliance Tested (PAT) yearly by suitably trained
personnel.
It is recommended that all building be tted with smoke alarms (it is mandatory for new
buildings). Ionisation-type smoke alarms are recommended for buildings where theatrical fog
eects are to be used.

OPERATION
Place the G002GSS on a rm at surface. Ensure that the snow outlet cone (at the front) is not
obstructed and is free to move.
To ll the tank:
The unit should be disconnected from the mains supply.
• Unscrew the lid, and ll with Snow Fluid
• Replace the lid
• Push the lter tube to the bottom of the tank.
• Plug the mains lead into a 13 Amp mains socket.
• If connecting via an extension lead, make sure that the lead is rated at 13 Amps or more, and
that it is fully unwound.
Turn the machine on via the switch on the rear. The switch will illuminate red. The red LED on
the controller will also illuminate. Depress the red button on the wired controller, a green LED will
illuminate on the controller. Turn the knob on the controller to control the speed of the fan. The
snow machine will continue to produce ‘snow’ until switched o via the remote. If the unit runs
out of uid turn o the machine at the remote switch immediately. Running the machine with no
uid risks damaging or seizing the pump and will invalidate any warranty.
This unit is also supplied with a wireless remote control which operates in place of the red button
on the wired remote. To use rst set the desired fan speed using the knob on the wired remote
control then ensure the red button is in the o position. Press the on button on the remote to
operate. The fan and pump will then operate. To switch o press the OFF button.
The unit is supplied with 2 decorative Led’s which add to the snow eect. The LED’s will turn on
when the pump is set above a set level and the unit is switched on.
MAINTENANCE
Clean the outside of the unit with a soft damp cloth, with a drop of washing up liquid.
To clean the machine internally:
• Remove the lid from the tank
• Empty out any excess uid
• Rinse the tank with a 20% solution of white vinegar and distilled water. This will remove any
lime deposits and kill bacteria.
After forty hours’ of use, and before long-term storage clean the tank with the vinegar solution
and then operate the machine with just distilled water (no vinegar) to remove any snow uid from
the pump and tubes.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal labelled “L”.
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal labelled “N”.
• Connect the green-yellow wire to the terminal
labelled with the earth symbol.
• Make sure that the cord-grip is positioned correctly
(over the outer sheath of the cable) and is fully
tightened.

If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service
centre. If the mains plug needs to be replaced, proceed as follows:

inserted into the mains socket and that the mains socket is functional and the switch is turned
on.
