Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual

When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. READ & FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
2. To reduce the risk
of injury, children under the age of
16 should not use the steam bath.
3. Steam is hot and
can cause injury or death if
improperly used. Steam rooms
contain steam and elevated
temperatures. Please read and
observe all warnings in this
manual before installing or using
a steam room.
4 To reduce the risk
of injury:
A. The wet surfaces of steam
enclosures may be slippery. Use
care when entering or leaving.
B. The steam head is hot. Do not
touch the steamhead and avoid
the steam near the steamhead.
C. Prolonged use of the steam system
can raise excessively the internal
human body temperature and
impair the body’s ability to
regulate its internal temperature
(hyperthermia). Limit your use of
steam to 10-15 minutes until you
are certain of your body’s reaction.
D. Excessive temperatures have a
high potential for causing fetal
damage during the early months
of pregnancy. Pregnancy or
possibly pregnant women should
consult a physician regarding
correct exposure.
E. Obese persons and persons with
a history of heart disease, low or
high blood pressure, circulatory
system problems, or diabetes
should consult a physician before
using a steambath.
F. Persons using medication should
consult a physician before using a
steambath since some
medication may induce
drowsiness while other
medications may affect heart rate,
blood pressure and circulation.

CORRECT SIZING IS IMPORTANT
Selection of the appropriate model is im-
portant to effectively match the heating requirements of
the steam room to the steam bath generator. Do not use a
particular SAH model steam generator with a room whose
“total room volume” is less than the range shown in the
SAH model steam generator sizing chart below. Selection
of a model with a “total room volume” rating greater than
the “total room volume” may cause excessive tempera-
ture. Do not use SAH model steam generators in a room
with a “total room volume” of less than 60 cubic feet.
SELECT YOUR STEAM@HOME
Materials of construction and room size affect the steam
generator model selection.
To determine the “total room volume” multiply length x
width x height of the steam room.

WATER QUALITY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior to initial startup. If the mineral content
exceeds the following recommended limits, various external treatment processes may be used to correct the problem.
NOTE: An analysis of the on-site water must be made by a recognized and reliable water treatment
company to ascertain the existing condition and treatment required.
RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER QUALITY
Hardness, ppm 8 – 85 (~0.5 – 5 gpg)
P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 – 410 (~5 – 24 gpg)
T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 – 500 (~7 – 0 gpg)
pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 – 11.4
Every 2 months, or more often in “hard” water areas, the manual drain valve should be opened fully flushing out accumulated
materials, salts and other particles which are natural by-products of boiling water. See page 14 for draining information.
Water quality can affect efficiency or result in boiler damage if neglected. Water contains impurities in solution and
suspension. These impurities concentrate within the steam generator tank. The concentration of these impurities
increases as more feedwater is introduced into the steam generator tank and steam is produced. If the impurities are
allowed to concentrate beyond certain limits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the steam generator tank’s internal
surfaces. This deposit can interfere with the proper generator operation and cause generator failure. The concentration
of these impurities is generally controlled by the feed water quality and periodically by draining the generator.
LOCATING THE STEAM GENERATOR UNIT
Select a location as near as practical to the steam room.
Typical locations include: closet, vanity cabinet, heated attic or basement.
NOTE: The standard length of the cable for connecting the control to the steam generator is 30 feet. The steam
generator and control must be located accordingly. A 60 foot cable (PN 103978-60) is available as a special order
part if the installation requires a longer cable.
(ITEMS 1-7)
1. DO NOT install steambath generator or plumbing lines in
unheated attic or any locations where water could freeze.
2. DO NOT install steambath generator inside steam
room.
3. DO NOT install steambath generator outdoors or
wherever environmental conditions may affect the
safety and/or performance of the generator.
4. DO NOT install steambath generator near flammable
or corrosive materials or chemicals such as gasoline,
paint thinners, or the like. Installation in areas having
high concentrations of chlorine (such as pool
equipment room) must be avoided.
5. Install steambath generator on a solid and level
surface. Keyhole slots are provided for wall mounting.
Insure the steam generator is properly secured and
level when mounting with keyhole slots.
6. Install steambath generator in an upright position only.
7. Steam line, safety valve, drain valve, plumbing and
steamheads become hot during operation and remain
hot after shutdown for a period of time. Provide
appropriate protection, including insulating plumbing
lines. Avoid plumbing runs and steamhead locations
that can come in contact with bathers.
IMPORTANT NOTES: (ITEMS 8-12)
8. Install anti-water hammer device as necessary.
9. Provide a minimum of (12) inches on the plumbing
side and top of the steam generator or as required
for servicing. See page 6.
10. Provide unions to facilitate installation and
disconnection of piping.
11. The SteamStart™ control may be located inside the
steam room or outside of the steam room. See
SteamStart Installation section (pg. 13) for specific

INSTALLATION OF THE STEAM HEAD
(1⁄2” NPT, PN 103937)
WITH ACRYLIC SHIELD (PN 103938)
The Acrylic Shield (PN 103938) is for use when acrylic or other non-heat
resistant materials are used for the steamroom enclosure.
INSTALLER: Because the steam head and direct steam
emissions are very hot, locate the steam head where incidental contact
by bather with the steam head or direct steam emission cannot occur.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These instructions are only for use in installations
using an Acrylic Shield (pur 103938).
STEP 1
Locate steam head at least 12 inches from an adjacent wall or bench
and 6-12 inches above floor, except for tub/shower enclosures, install
6 inches above tub top edge. The steamhead shall be installed with
the oil well facing up as shown. Hand tightening is sufficient when
teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used.
IMPORTANT NOTE: to preserve steam head finish, do not use wrench
or other tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers or chemicals.
Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge.
Consult with supplier of acrylic, fiberglass and other
non-heat resistant enclosures for recommended steamhead location.
STEP 2
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run a 1⁄2" copper
steam line from the steam generator to the drop ear fitting. Install a
temporary nipple (6" or longer)in the drop ear fitting to locate the
steamhead after the wall is finished.
STEP 3
After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the
surface of the wall is. Remove the nipple and measure the portion
that was in the wall (the end to your mark). Subtract 1⁄8" from that
dimension and select a brass nipple of that length to finish the
installation.
STEP 4
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the new nipple and screw the
nipple into the steamhead. Do not use wrenches or tools which
would damage the steamhead's finish.
Slide the acrylic shield onto the nipple-steamhead assembly so the
steam head sits in the acrylic shield.
Apply clear silicone in the groove on the back of the acrylic shield.
Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the nipple and screw the
nipple and steamhead assembly you just made into the drop ear
fitting in the wall. The steamhead should be flush with the wall and
the well must be facing up.
The acrylic shield will be sandwiched between the wall and steam head.

STEAMSTART™ On/Off Switch
Box Contents:
• SteamStart™ Control
• Control Cable
Installing The Steamstart™ Control
The SteamStart has a 30 foot cable with a Plug & Play connector
at both ends. (Diagram 1).
A 60 foot control cable is available (103978-60). Contact a Mr.
Steam technical representative if the 60 foot cable is required.
To avoid unintentional steambath operation, do
not locate the control where other controls, shower heads, valves,
body sprays or similar accessories within the shower could cause
confusion or interfere with the Mr.Steam control’s intended use
and function.
STEP 1 - Diagram 2
Drill a 7/8 inch diameter hole in a preferred wall location. Do not
oversize or undersize the hole.
STEP 2 - Diagram 3
Route the cable from the wall to the steam generator. Be careful
not to strain, pinch or otherwise damage the control cable.
STEP 3 - Diagram 4
Remove and discard the peel-off paper from the switch housing
to expose the adhesive as shown in Diagram 4.
STEP 4 - Diagram 5
Apply silicone (provided with SteamStart control) to the hole in
the wall as required to create a moisture seal. Apply silicone to
the back of the switch as required to seal grout lines or as
required for additional adhesion.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use care not to apply silicone to the
adhesive gasket.
STEP 5
Push cable and switch housing into the hole firmly.
STEP 6 - Diagram 6
Firmly connect the Plug & Play connector to the steam generator
connector labeled SteamStart.
NOTE: The connector is keyed and will only connect in one
orientation with the tab facing up.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Install cable in a dedicated conduit to
allow for replacement. Be careful not to strain, staple, pinch or
otherwise damage the control cable. Do not route in conduit with
power wires.

Do not alter or modify any Mr. Steam products
including the steam generator or SteamStart™
controls. Doing so may result in an inoperative or
hazardous installation and will void the warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not operate any
SteamStart™ control with other than a Mr.
Steam SAH steam generator. Doing so may
result in an inoperative installation.
This document contains important safety,
operation and maintenance information. Do not
discard this document.
Malfunction due to power spikes, lightning, fire,
freezing or flooding is not covered under the
warranty. Discontinue use of the steam
generator or control if the steam generator is
damaged or otherwise not functioning
Steam Generator Maintenance
Other than periodic draining, maintenance procedures
are minimal. Every 2 months, or more often in “hard”
water areas, the manual drain valve should be opened
fully flushing out accumulated materials, salts and other
particles which are natural by-products of boiling water.
Flush a minimum of two-three hours
after the control has been turned off to insure that the
water has cooled.
Draining immediately after a steam cycle
may expose user to scalding water and may expose PVC
and other piping to high temperature water. Check local
codes. The unit will refill automatically when the control
is activated again.
Using Mr.Steam®Essential Oils
Enjoy AromaSteam™ essential oils by placing a drop or two into an
unheated AromaSteam steamhead as shown in the illustration.
Only use Mr.Steam®AromaSteam essential oils in the Mr.Steam®
AromaSteam steamhead.
•Use essential oils with caution. Essential oils are for external use
only. Keep out of reach of children. Essential oils are highly con-
centrated and are potent substances and should not be applied
directly to the skin as they can be irritants. Use essential oils with
caution.
• Place the drops into the Mr.Steam AromaSteam steamhead re-
cess prior to turning on the steambath. Do not place drops in a
hot steam head as SERIOUS INJURY CAN RESULT IF YOU DO
NOT FOLLOW THIS WARNING.
• Start with one drop to gauge strength and suitability. Limit to a
maximum of a few drops for a steam bathing session.
• The bather should exit the steambath IMMEDIATELY if dizziness
occurs. If skin irritation occurs stop using the oils immediately.
Remove any excess oil by washing in mild soap and water. If
ingested, rinse mouth with water. Administer water or milk to
dilute. Contact a physician immediately.
Aromatic oils should be added to
steamhead before turning on the steambath unit.
DO NOT add oil during steam bathing or when
the steam head is heated.
Tightly close bottles when storing oils. Keep bot-
tles away from sources of ignition.
Care Tips For Steam/Start & SteamHeads
1. Use only mild soap and water on a soft cloth to clean the control and steamhead.
2. Do not use abrasive cleansers
