LOCATING THE STEAM GENERATOR
Applies to 1-6
1. Do not route iSteam, AirTempo, iTempo/Plus, iTempo OR
any control wiring inside conduit together with power lines
or close to hot water or steam piping. Doing so may result
in an inoperative or hazardous installation.
2. Installation or operation of the steam generator in an
ambient temperature above 113˚ F (45 °C) may result in a
hazardous condition or property damage.
3. Do not install the steambath generator inside steam room,
a shock hazard and/or equipment damage will occur.
4. Do not install steambath generator outdoors or
wherever environmental conditions may result in a
shock hazard and/or equipment damage.
5. To prevent a fire hazard, do not install the steambath gen-
erator near flammable or corrosive materials or chemicals
such as gasoline, paint thinners, or the like.
6. Installation in areas having high concentrations of chlorine
(such as pool equipment room) must be avoided.
Applies to 7-11
7. Do not install the steambath generator or plumbing line in
an unheated attic or any locations where water could freeze
and cause pipes to rupture and cause property damage.
8. Steam piping, safety valve, drain valve and plumbing
become hot during operation and remain hot after shut-
down 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 to prevent a burn hazard.
9. Install the steambath generator on a solid and level surface.

to prevent damage to the generator, pipes and electrical
system. Failure to install in an upright position may result
in a leak or shock hazard.
