exits from the flared end of the weight.
• Insert the filter’s barbed fitting into the end of the tubing.
• Tighten the tubing by sliding the weight over the barb until
it is flush with the filter.
• It is strongly recommended to use the suction filter in all
situations. Make sure that it reaches the bottom of the
essence bottle. It should be cleaned periodically to re-
move any product residue. (Diagram 6 shows the suction
filter installation.)
• Drop the tubing, with weight and filter attached, through
the bottle opening and allow the filter body to reach the
bottom of the essence bottle (Diagram 7).

OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS
Initial Set-Up
• Make sure the essence bottle is filled with fragrance oil. * Note: Never let the essence container or tubing run dry.
An extended lack of oil could cause damage to the tubing or pump.
• Make sure the power adapter is connected to 120VAC then turn the pump on by pressing the pump's On/Off/Mom
switch in to the center ON position. Note: the pump will not run until the Fragrance Controller is turned on by the
On/Off switch and steam is enterring the room.
BasicOperation
To turn on the injector system, simply press the switch on the On/Off switch. Once pressed:
• The switch's LED will light, indicating that the injector system is running.
• The pump will run for a short time every 2 minutes, if the steam is heating the room.
• After about 15 minutes, the system will automatically turn off and the switchs LED will turn off.
Note: Fragrance will not be injected until the room is over 100° F.

Installation and Operating Instructions page 6
BasicOperation(continued)
• Pressing the switch while the injector system is running will turn the system off again.
• The essential oil will only be pumped into the steam outlet while steam is being sent to the room. This helps carry the
essence into the room and reduces the risk of oil building up in the steam line, unused.
• Repeatedly turning the injector system on and off will not affect the amount of essence released to the room.
We recommend starting the Fragrance Injector after starting your steam bath. Start at about 10 minutes after the steamer
is turned on then adjust this period with later baths until you have determined how long gives you the right amount of
essence in your room. Starting the injector too early can cause the room to have too much essence.
Speed (Flow Rate) Adjustment (Diagram 8)
You can adjust how much essence oil is added to your bath by changing the pump's speed. The speed is set at the
factory at the medium level and the injector should be tested for user preference at this speed first.
Toadjustthespeedremovetheclearcover on the front of the pump. The speed adjustment may be found to the right of
the pump's LED. Make only small adjustments and retest after each adjustment until the preferred speed is determined.
• To reduce speed, use a small screwdriver to turn the speed adjustment screw to the left (counterclockwise).
• To increase speed, use a small screwdriver to turn the speed adjustment screw to the right (clockwise).
Whenfinished,replacetheclear cover. Lightly tighten the cover's mounting screws - Do not over tighten!Thecovermay
be damaged if its screws are tightened too much!
Trouble Shooting
• If there is no essence being supplied,
Make sure the pump is operating correctly.
Make sure the essence bottle is full and the filter is clean and in the essence oil.
Make sure the pump tubing is filled with essence oil.
Check the pump's squeeze tube for damage or leaks.
• If the essence supply into the steam line becomes clogged, tighten the piercing arm (see Diagram 2) all the way down
through the 1/2 inch copper steam line and then all the way back out.
• If the essence scent is too strong and the pump is set at it's lowest setting, the essence can be diluted with 100%
safflower oil available at most grocery stores.
• If the On/Off switch's LED does not light, press the pump's switch to its Mom position: the pump should turn and its
LED should light. If the pump is working, there may be a fault with the ON/Off control or its cable. Check its connec-
tions and call Steam Service if the fault is not found.
• If the pump does not turn and the LEDs light, the pump may be faulty; call Steam Service.
• If the pump and LEDs do not work, make sure the wiring connections are correct and that the power adapter is
connected to a working 120VAC outlet. A voltmeter may be used to check the transformer output: it should be 24VAC.
