TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience low output, pump noise, or no output at all, disconnect the device and discontinue use immediately. Do not attempt to continue operation as this may damage the machine. Check the fluid level, the breaker, and the wall outlet to ensure it is sending power. If all the above factors do not appear to be causing the issue, and the unit still fails to operate correctly, it will require service. Please contact Magmatic Effects for assistance.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

When storing your device, be sure to store in a cool area. Cover the device so that dust does not build up on the device. It is highly advisable to run the machine at least once every 3-4 months when storing for long periods of time. Long periods of inactivity can severely shorten the life of your device. Only run Magmatic’s Atmosity fluid (SKU# ARH or AAH) through your machine. Never run plain water, vinegar, or any other liquid solution through your device, as doing so will severely damage your device.
