Overview

The Bubble Fogger is a unique device designed to produce both fog and bubbles, creating a special effect for various occasions. It is intended for indoor use and requires adult supervision during operation. The device is not a toy and should be handled with care.

Function Description

The Bubble Fogger operates by heating a specialized fog solution to create fog, while simultaneously generating bubbles using a separate bubble solution. These two effects can be combined, with fog appearing inside the bubbles, or produced independently. The device features a switch to select between "SMALL" for small bubbles and "LARGE" for big bubbles, offering versatility in the visual effect. An orange indicator light illuminates when the machine is fully heated and ready for use, typically after a 2-5 minute warm-up period. The bubble wand operates on a timer, meaning there will be periods of fog emission without bubbles between activations.

Usage Features

To operate the Bubble Fogger, it must always be placed on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, ensuring the unit remains level. Before use, the reservoir tank lid on the back of the machine should be unscrewed, and the fog solution filled into the fogger reservoir. Similarly, bubble juice needs to be filled into the bubble reservoir. It is crucial to ensure there is enough fluid in both tanks before operation to prevent damage to the pump and heater. The reservoir tank lid should be closed tightly after filling.

The device is powered by plugging its A/C power cord into a standard A/C grounded wall outlet. Once plugged in, the ON/OFF switch, located on the back of the unit, should be turned to the "ON" position. After the warm-up period, indicated by the orange light, the LARGE-STANDBY-SMALL switch can be set to the desired bubble size.

The Bubble Fogger should only be operated in open, dry, and well-ventilated areas. It is not waterproof or splash-proof, so if used outdoors, it must be under a covered area. When used indoors, good ventilation is essential to avoid setting off smoke detectors. The nozzle should be kept at least 20 inches clear of any contact while in use, and at least 2 feet away from any person or objects, as small bursts may spray out before the nozzle and create a slipping hazard. It is important not to leave the unit unattended during operation and to unplug it from the electrical outlet when not in use. The device should not be moved while in operation; allow it to cool before handling or servicing.

The fog and bubble solution should never be consumed. It is not recommended to blow fog or bubbles directly onto food or pets, as the fog spray may leave a light residue on surfaces. Vapor from the Bubble Fogger may be irritating to some individuals with allergic sensitivity, so it should not be exposed at close range to known asthmatics. Using the device in a well-ventilated area helps mitigate these concerns.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the Bubble Fogger. Before any service, it is imperative to disconnect power. The device does not have user-serviceable parts inside, and the cover should not be removed. Any servicing beyond basic user tasks should be referred to a qualified technician.

One key maintenance task is fuse replacement. If the device stops working, the power source may be disabled, or the cord unplugged, or the fuse may need replacement. To replace the fuse, grasp the plug and remove it from the receptacle without pulling on the cord. Open the fuse cover with a Phillips screwdriver, carefully remove the old fuse, and replace it only with a 2.0 Amps, 125 Volts quick-acting fuse of the same size and type. After replacement, close the fuse cover.

Periodically, the level of both fog and bubble solution should be checked. The manufacturer recommends filling the tank and then checking it about every hour during operation. It is critical never to operate the device without liquid in the tanks, as this can damage the pump and heater. During storage, all liquids should be removed from the device.

After use, especially if spills or residue accumulate on the floor, clean up immediately, as the solution can create a slick area and a slipping hazard. The unit itself should not be immersed in water. Instead, after it has cooled down, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

It is important to note that only specialized fog solution and bubble solution designed for the Bubble Fogger should be used. Never add materials of any kind, such as oil, gas, perfume, food coloring, or homemade solutions, to the tanks. Using water or unauthorized solutions can cause permanent damage to the device and may void the warranty. While the manufacturer takes steps to remove all bubble solution after quality control tests, some residue may remain in the bubble tank at the time of purchase; this does not affect the operation of the unit.

The Bubble Fogger gets hot during normal operation. Always use the attached hanging bracket as a handle when carrying the device. Allow the unit to cool down before moving or hanging. Ensure the Bubble Fogger is placed away from combustible materials like curtains, leaves, or paper.

Finally, be aware that fog mist may activate some fire alarms, so exercise caution when operating the device in areas with smoke detectors.
