Steam Room Guidelines
1. Steam room must be completely enclosed, with full walls, door, oor and ceiling.
2. It is recommended that a gasketed door is used for heat sealing and steam containment.
3. If tile-type or other smooth surfaced ooring is used provide suitable anti-skid strips or equivalent, to prevent
user slipping and injury.
4. Walls and ceilings must be constructed of water-resistant, non-corrosive surface, such as tile, marble, molded
acrylic, or other non-porous material. The ceiling should be sloped to prevent dripping of condensate. If
acrylic, berglass or other non-heat resistant materials are used as part of the steamroom enclosure, see pg.
5, "Steamhead" for additional details.
5 . P rovi de a oor drai n.
6. No heating, venting or air conditioning devices should be installed inside the steam room.
7. Steam room construction information is available from the Tile Council of America, Inc. by purchasing the
TCA Handbook for Ceramic Tile Installation. Tel: (864) 646-8453 or www.tileusa.com.
8. Windows that are part of the steamroom should be double paned tempered glass.
9. Try to limit steamroom ceiling height to 8 feet. E xceeding 8 feet may require a higher-rated steam generator.
10. It is strongly recommends that a warning
be posted in a conspicuous location near
the steambath. A peel-owarning has been
provided (on the inside front cover) for

Initial Start-Up and Checkout
1. Turn on control. Follow specic instruction sheet provided with controls.
2. S team will begin to appear within 3-5 minutes at the steam head. Steam will shut owhen desired tempera-
ture is reached and will automatically resume when room temperature drops below set point.
3. S team will shut oautomatically when control timer reaches zero. To shut steam omanually, turn control
OFF. To clear steam from enclosure area, turn shower on before opening door.
4. If unit does not start and control does not turn ON (control display does not light up) then turn breaker o
for twenty seconds and try again.
Maintenance
steambath generators require little maintenance. Other than periodic draining, maintenance pro-
cedures are minimal. Every 2 months, or more often in “ hard” water areas, the manual drain valve should be
opened fully ushing out accumulated materials, salts and other particles which are natural by-products of boil-
ing water.
Note:
Flush a minimum o ve hours after the control has been turned oto insure that the water has cooled.
Draining immediately after a steam cycle may expose PVC and other piping to high
temperaturwater. Check local codes. The unit will rell automatically when the control is activated again.
In areas of hard water, a Aquasteam automatic drain valve system is recommended for generator longevity.
