OPERATING THE MACHINE
Powering On
Make sure the unit is plugged in. Turn on the Main Power Switch that is located next to the power cord
on the rear of the machine.
Heating
When switched on, the machine will begin to heat up to its optimal temperature. The initial heating
cycle will take 7-10 minutes. When the green Ready Indicator light comes on, the machine is ready to
make fog.
Using the Remote Control
The Remote Control can be operated directly on the machine by simply placing the remote’s magnetic
backing on the machine body. The remote can be used at a distance using the 10 foot (3m) cable that
is provided.
When the green Ready Indicator light is illuminated, the Dusk is ready to make fog. To run the
machine continuously, press the Fog Switch into the ON position toward the single line. The machine
will make fog until the Fog Switch is moved back to the center, OFF position. To operate the machine for
MOMENTARY bursts of fog, press and hold the Fog Switch toward the two lines. The remote will return
to the center, OFF position, and the machine will immediately stop making fog, when the Fog Switch
is released.
Changing Fluid
The Dusk consumes one liter of fluid per hour. When the fluid in the bottle has been depleted enough
that the tube can no longer stay submerged, it is time to change fluid bottles.
It is recommended that you stop making fog when changing fluid bottles. Once fog production has
halted, simply unscrew the fluid tube cap from the empty bottle and remove the tube. Take care to avoid
dripping fluid onto the machine case or ground nearby, as it can be slippery. Replace the empty bottle
with a new bottle of Rosco fog fluid, insert the fluid tube insuring that the filter at the end of the tube is
fully submerged, and reattach the fluid cap. Resume making fog. Do not allow the machine to run dry
of fluid.
Powering Down
After use, allow the machine to sit for several minutes before switching the Main Power Switch to off.
Turning off the power switch during fog production can cause damage to the heat exchanger. Allow
machine to cool completely before packing or storing. Note: The nozzle of the machine may remain hot
for up to 10 hours after power is shut off.
If the machine will be unused for an extended period of time, follow the Storage and Shipment instruc-
tions listed under Maintenance to prepare the machine for long-term storage.
