• What fluid should I use in my Antari fog machine?

  You should only use the specific fog fluid manufactured by Antari. Using other fluids or additives may clog the heater, cause malfunctions, and will void the warranty. Always check the user manual for the recommended fluid model (e.g., FLG, FLH, FLM).

• How do I clean and maintain my Antari machine?

  Before storing the machine, run distilled water through the system to clean out fluid residue and prevent pump or heater condensation. It is also recommended to operate the machine at least once a month to maintain optimal performance.

• Why is my Antari machine not producing fog?

  Ensure the machine is plugged into a proper voltage outlet and the fluid tank is filled. Check that the machine has completed its warm-up cycle (indicated by the Ready light). If using a remote or DMX, verify the connections and settings. If issues persist, contact an authorized dealer.

• Can I use Antari machines outdoors?

  Most standard Antari machines are designed for indoor use only and are not waterproof. Exposure to rain or moisture can cause electrical shock or damage. Specific outdoor-rated models (like the IP-1600) are available for outdoor applications.
