- Loosen the side screws and lift the housing upwards. You will see a liquid tank.
- Pour bubble liquid into the liquid tank. Be careful not to exceed the maximum fluid level. DO NOT OVERFILL.
- It is recommended to use Antari BL- Bubble Liquid for best performance. When the container is 3/4 full, lower the housing and tighten the screws.
Important:
- Always monitor tank fluid level as you are operating.
- Never drink bubble liquid. If it is ingested, call a doctor immediately. If the bubble liquid comes in contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Always place the cap back on the liquid container immediately after filling to avoid contamination.
W-101 Hanging Bracket:
Your model includes a mounting bracket designed for overhead installation; it
may be installed at floor level or suspended overhead. If the unit is to be
mounted using the bracket, it is important that the bubbles do not shoot
directly at anyone’s face. Whatever installation method you choose, do not
allow the unit to have more than a 25 degree angle of inclination.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE:
Ensure your bubble machine is unplugged from the mains electrical supply
before attempting to open the housing.
To help avoid accidental exposure to dangerous live AC mains voltage, two safety screws are fitted that require a screw driver to remove. Once these are removed, the finger screws can be undone by hand (see photo above).
Once the screws are removed, the lid of the housing can be carefully swung upwards, as shown above. Take care not to spill any of the bubble fluid inside the unit.
The fluid tank is designed to fit only one way around. Make sure you insert it correctly, as shown above, with the lower edge facing into the machine.
OPERATION
For manual operation, set the power switch to “Manual Mode” on the back of the machine. The internal bubble drum and fan are activated and the machine will produce bubbles. For wireless operation with the W-1, set the power switch to “Wireless Mode”. Now please refer to chapter “W-1 Wireless Remote” for setting the remote control.
W-1 Wireless Remote
The wireless remote control system W-1 consists of a transmitter equipped with
two buttons for bubbles on and off, and a receiver pre-attached to the rear
panel of each W-series model.
-
Transmitter:
With the transmitter, it is possible to emit bubbles via radio over a distance of up to 50 meters. The transmitter is compatible to any receiver of the W- series and can control an unlimited number of machines in parallel. Press the button “A”, to emit bubbles. As a control, the blue LED lights. To stop the bubble output, press the button “B”. -
Receiver:
The receiver is tested and pre-attached to the rear panel of each W-series model. Please do not try to remove it. The receiver responds to up to 5different transmitters that are registered with the machine. The included transmitter has been registered with the machine before shipment. It canbe directly operated without any start-up setting.
Registering transmitters
To operate the machine with a different transmitter than the included one, or
to operate it with up to 5 different transmitters, each transmitter must be
registered first. There is an LED light on the rear control panel of the
machine. When the machine is turned on, the green LED will be flashing for
15 seconds. During the 15-second interval, users can register signals for one
or more transmitters. For this purpose, press the button “A” on each
transmitter. If the registering signals of the transmitters are well received
by the receiver, the green LED will stop flashing and light permanently. The
previous transmitters are cleared from the memory of the receiver. If no
transmitter is registered while the machine is switched on, the memory of the
receiver will keep the record of the previous operation.
Setting Example 1:
In order to register several transmitters with a machine, turn on the machine.
While the green LED is flashing, press the button “A” on each transmitter to
establish the signal transmission.
Setting Example 2:
In order to use 1 transmitter to control 2 or more machines, turn on the
machines at the same time. While the green LEDs are flashing, press the button
“A” on the transmitter to establish the signal transmission.
Battery change on the transmitter
If the range of the transmitter decreases, the battery is probably exhausted
and must be replaced. For this purpose, take off the housing cover and remove
the used battery. Insert a fresh 12 V battery, type 23A as indicated in the
battery compartment and refit the housing cover.
