This document describes the FG202LR 5 Jet Super Pond Fogger Kit with 15 LED Lights, a device designed to create mist effects in water features.

Function Description

The FG202LR is a mist-making unit that generates mist using a ceramic disk. It is equipped with 15 LED lights to enhance the visual effect of the mist. The device operates by being submerged in water, where it produces small jets of water that create a fog-like appearance. A water level sensor ensures proper operation, preventing the unit from running dry and potentially burning out. The mist maker requires a transformer to convert power for its operation.

Usage Features

To use the mist maker, it should be placed in a water container. The mist unit is then connected to its transformer. The water level in the container must be maintained at approximately ½ inch above the top of the auto switch (water level sensor) for optimal performance. Once the transformer is plugged into the main power supply, the unit will begin to generate mist.

The device is designed to be used with tap water only; distilled or pure water is not permitted as it can interfere with the water-level sensor's proper function, potentially leading to burnout or malfunction.

When operating, the mist unit sends up small jets of water. Therefore, the container used should be large enough to prevent water from splashing outside. It is important not to place the unit near furniture, electronic products, or other water-sensitive objects where water spillage or condensation could cause damage.

For safety, users should verify that the voltage rate of the transformer matches the local power supply. Only the supplied transformer should be used. The transformer, connector, and controller should be kept in a dry place or used indoors only, ensuring no water gets into these components. The safety transformer will heat up during operation, so sufficient air circulation is necessary, and the housing should not be covered. Electrical appliances should be kept out of reach of children.

Users should never touch the water level sensor. During operation, body parts such as fingers should not touch the ceramic disk or be placed within 4 inches of it, as this can cause localized pain. The safety transformer and mains plug should never be touched with wet hands. Before touching the miniature nebulizer or removing it from the water, the mains plug must always be withdrawn.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the mist maker.

Cleaning:

The mist unit should be kept clean. If the water becomes dirty, it should be changed promptly, as dirty water can affect mist production. Household abrasive cleaners should not be used on any part of the mist unit. Instead, it can be cleaned with a soft cloth and clean water.

Ceramic Disk Maintenance:

Over time, users may notice a decrease in the amount of mist produced or the unit may stop working. This often indicates that the ceramic disk needs cleaning or replacement. To address this, the unit should be unplugged and removed from the water container. It can then be cleaned with a soft cloth in clean water. If cleaning does not restore function, the ceramic disk should be replaced.

Warranty Information

The product comes with a limited warranty. To claim warranty service, a valid proof of purchase with the date clearly indicated is required. Photographs of defective merchandise may also be requested to help determine the cause of the defect.

Warranty Coverage Exclusions:

The warranty does not cover damages resulting from:

• Water Damage: Improper storage allowing water to freeze within the product, use of "hard water," or caustic cleaners. Failure to keep the unit clean and use appropriate additives/cleaners will void the warranty. Normal splashing from fountains is not covered.
• Paint & Color: Natural erosion of color due to water use. The warranty only covers severe or complete fading within the first year, excluding natural erosion.

The warranty is void if the product has been damaged by accident, misuse, negligence, improper installation, or modifications. This includes defects arising from freezing water damage, hard water damage, or failure to keep the unit clean and free of harmful additives like bleach or chlorine, which can affect the paint or parts. The warranty also does not cover additional charges for installation, removal, disposal, shipping, or consequential damages associated with a warranty claim.

Warranty Claim Procedure:

Should a warranty claim be needed, customers should first contact the retailer from whom the product was purchased. If that is not an option, Alpine Corporation can be contacted directly via their website. When contacting Alpine Corporation, customers must be prepared to provide proof of purchase, photographs, and any other information needed to validate the claim. This information helps distinguish between partial or complete replacement of a defective product. The warranty covers only the individual defective component of a multi-part unit. Replacement parts may be available through the original seller or an approved parts retailer. If a warranty claim for replacement parts is made after 30 days of purchase, credit card information will be requested for shipping charges.
