The solenoid valve can endure maximum 0.8MPa (8kg/cm2) water pressure. To protect the
solenoid valve from extremely high water pressure, please turn down the inlet slightly or
install water pressure relieving valve .
Do not install saddle-backed or needle valves on the inlet. Please dredge and clean the pipe
before installation.
No block valve should be installed in the steam pipelines. Strictly no blocked or blended pipe,
otherwise will have negative effect on the flow of steam and condensate. The steam pipelines
should be installed with a slight angle so that the condensate can flow back to the generator
or the steam head.
Steam generator should be installed indoor to avoid frozen. The generator should be installed
and leveled with the arrow pointing upward at an easy-access place, otherwise do not switch
on.
The steam pipeline must be copper pipes or stainless steel pipes, all other material such as
plastic, acrylic should not be used since they cannot endure 150℃or higher temperature.
All inlet and apertures should be sealed to prevent any leakage of steam and to protect the
generator and customers.
Don’t directly drain to the steam room, as water from the water tank is very hot and may
cause serious scald and damage the steam room.
All inlet water pipes and steam pipelines should be built according to the National Standard
and this should be done before sealing the wall.

6. Installation
6.1. Installation cautions
DO NOT use locking pliers to over tight the DRAIN PIPE connection.
Before installation, MUST read all the install cautions in this manual, on page 4.
Selecting the proper steam generator
In order to achieve comfort and relaxation, as well as energy efficiency, the selection of the
correct steam generator model and size are as critical as design of the steam room itself. The
power supply and circuit protector should be carefully checked to match the parameters of the
generator. Please referring to the table 2 & its notice and select the suitable model for your
specification.
6.2. Installation of steam generator body
6.2.1. Cautions
Switch off all power supply before installation, and check whether you have the correct model
for your steam room according to table 2 & its notice .
A manual resetting 120℃temperature control switch is installed in the steam generator for
over-heat protection. If temperature of inner tank exceeds 120℃accidentally, the switch will
automatically disconnect power supply to heating elements. In this case, it is necessary to
disconnect the power supply to steam generator, and then carefully check heating elements,
water level sensor, relay on sub-board and water supply pipeline after steam generator
completely cooling-down. The temperature switch could only be manually reset after the fault
has been located and solved.
Do not install the generator outdoors, in wet/moist place, freezing, or corrosive place. Do not
install the generator near to inflammables such oil paint, diluents and fuel. Be alert to the steam
pipeline and safety valve since the high temperature of steam is dangerous to customers.
Generator must be level installed.
The generator should be installed in a dry and well-ventilated place. It can be installed either on
the wall or on the ground, but must be well fixed. Install the generator as close to steam room as
possible, such as in the closet, under the washing basin or in the basement. (Refer to figure 3).
6.2.2. Cautions
The controller wire and temperature sensor wire should NOT be parallel to or intersect with
the power wire. The temperature sensor should NOT be installed on the side of the wall
which is behind the door, when the door is opened and the controller should NOT be
installed in any moist place.
6.2.3. Installation of controller
The controller should be installed with height of 1.2 m outside the steam room but nearby
________________________________________________________________________________
9
or other place where easy to operate. Use 3M glue fixation or glass glue fixation to settle it
on the wall.
Installation Of Control Wire: there are two connection cables on the controller, put the 4 pin
cable connected with the controller aviation plug(Refer to figure 4).
Caution: The temperature wire should NOT be parallel to or intersect with the power wire.
Caution: The temperature sensor should NOT be installed on the side of the wall which is behind
the door when the door is opened.
i. Water Inlet
First connect the water magnetizer (if applicable) to the water inlet solenoid valve. Then please
use a 1/2’’ flexible stainless steel hose to connect the other side of the water magnetizer and the
water supply pipeline. Do not connect to metal water supply pipeline directly because which
may damage the water inlet valve.
Attention: Only use cold water supply.
ii. Drain Outlet
Please use 1/2’’ copper pipe or stainless steel pipe to connect the drain outlet and the drain
pipeline of the house. The drain pipeline should be installed with small angle so as to help
residual water in the steam generator flow to the drain pipe.
Attention: Don’t use locking pliers to over tight the drain pipe connection. Just make sure it
without leakage under Teflon tape sealing. The water come out from the steam generator will
over 100℃. Don’t use the plastic pipe/acrylic pipe/FRP pipe or other similar material pipe.
iii. Steam outlet
Use copper or stainless steel pipe to connect the steam head and the steam outlet pipe of the
generator. The pipe should be less than 3 meters long and minimize the number of elbows,
otherwise heat isolating methods should be implemented.
For steam generator, steam outlet is 1/2’’, please use AT LEAST 1/2’’ steam pipe, must be
stainless steel pipe or copper pipe.
Attention: Please MUST choose right diameter pipe size, as if the pipe size is smaller than our
instruction, it may cause the steam generator internal pressure to increase suddenly which may
damage the steam generator and have safety risks.
6.3. Installation of electrical
Cautions
All circuits should be installed by licensed electricians and conform to local and national codes.
Power supply must be cut off before installation, maintenance and repair. Press the on/off
________________________________________________________________________________
10
button on the controller cannot cut power from the supply.
No additional power supply or wire is allowed to connect to the generator. Do not connect the
ground wire to the neutral wire.
Only the original parts and elements from our factory are allowed to be used in installation,
operation, maintenance and repair.
After the installation of the pipeline and electrical circuits, carefully checking must be
performed before switch on the generator.
The generator has been carefully installed, checked and tested in factory, thus customer only
need to install the power wire,control wire and temperature sensor etc.
The power supply should be 215-240V or 380-415V, 50/60Hz, please refer to the nameplate of
the generator.
The selection of fuse and breaker must strictly follow the data in table 2.
Choose the suitable power wire according to table 2 and local codes.
Take off the back cover of the generator, insert the 3-core power wire (single phase, 215-240V,
50/60Hz ) into the hole at the back of the generator case and connect to the correct terminal.
