Scepter'd Isle posted:I have a couple of questions:
1, There seems to be a smoke fan which runs continuously, and emits a faint whining noise - is that normal? It stops when I turn smoke off.
2, The old question of how much, and when, to add smoke fluid? Please could you point me to the best thread for advice.
1. Yes, the whining noise is normal. That's just the sound of the fan operating. When you turn off the smoke unit, the fan shuts off. If it's louder, that just means the unit needs lubricated, so you need to gain access to the smoke unit and add some oil to the fan motor. Eric Siegel has a great video on YouTube that goes into more detail, just look up "how to fix a noisy smoke unit".
2. Look at your owners manual to see how much fluid you need to prime it. Assuming you run your Berk once or twice a week, I'd say to add smoke fluid every 3 weeks or so. When you add it, depending on how much smoke is coming out, add an appropriate amount of fluid.
