Setup
The top plate has two LED indicators – one red and one green. The red LED indicates
that the heater is on, and the green LED indicates the water is at its optimal operating
temperature. The heater will not turn on unless there is enough water.
As the dry ice sublimates, the water will cool and the green LED indicator will turn off.
This is normal and the Nimbus™ Jr will continue to operate until all the dry ice is used.
The dry ice must be stored inside the internal basket for optimal performance. Do not
remove this basket as serious bodily injury may occur.
During operation, do not touch the top plate; it becomes very hot.
Operation
1. Place the machine on a level surface and connect the product to a suitable power
outlet.
2. Raise the basket to its highest level with the operation lever.
3. Open the lid and fill with water until the red light appears. The container can hold up
to 2.6 gallons (9.8 liters).
4. Using protective gear, load the basket with up to 5 lb (2.3 kg) of dry ice. The dry ice
should be loaded at the last possible moment.
5. Close and latch the lid.
6. Grab the operating lever and slowly lower the handle to the middle notch for low
output or all the way down for high output.
7. When the output slows or stops, raise and refill the basket.
Water temperature should be about 175° F (79° C) for optimal fog output.
You may need to refill the Nimbus™ Jr with water from time to time. Once refilled,
wait for the red LED indicator to come on before repeating Operation steps 4–7.
Safety Shutoff
Feature
The Nimbus™ Jr. is fitted with a safety shutoff feature, which prevents the unit’s heaters
from turning on when the water level is too low. If this safety shutoff feature has been
engaged, simply add more water to continue using the Nimbus™ Jr.

Maintenance
The Nimbus™ Jr. requires minimal upkeep in order to maintain optimum performance.
However, some steps are needed in order to clean and maintain the product for
maximum usage. The recommended procedure is as follows:
1. After use, wait for the machine and any remaining water inside to reach room
temperature.
2. Dump all the cooled water from the internal tank of the product. You may risk bodily
harm and damage to items if the water is still hot.
