MANDATORY READING INSTALLATION UPDATE BULLETIN INSTALLATION OF 9KW AND 12KW STEAM GENERATORS When connecting the power supply for the 9KW and 12KW steam generators, there may be some difficulty connecting the 8 and 6gauge wires into the terminal block. In order to make these connections as easy as possible, you can remove steam generators wires from the terminal block and wire nut the wires directly to your power source. This will make the electrical connections easier.
PART 1: STEAM GENERATOR USER INSTRUCTIONS Attention: We are not responsible for the malfunction and damage from improper installation that does not comply with the user’s manual. 1. Make sure the model and the accessories are correct, including the voltage 220V input. 2. Make sure the steam power is matched with the dimensions of the steam room. Pay attention to the steam room's cubic feet measurements and construction materials. See below on how to choose your type of machine. 3.
breaker and let sit for an hour or overnight. Then restart the generator and let it run for about 5 minutes and shut it off at the key pad. Wait until the automatic drain allows the solution to exit the tank or use the manual drain button on the key pad. Once again, it is most important you are able to actually verify the solution has been drained out from the unit. By verifying the draining of the solution, you know the tank is not clogged.
Attention: The steam generator (including the controller) is ETL approved. INSTALLATION DRAWING OF THE STEAM GENERATOR !

WARNING! The steam nozzle and steam outlet are very hot! Avoid installing the steam nozzle near steam bathers. 1. Install the steam nozzle 8-12 inches above the ground. 2. The steam spray outlet should be installed face down. Wrap a few circles Teflon tape around the threads of the steam pipe, install the steam nozzle and tighten with hands. Do not tighten the steam head onto the steam pipe. It may cover the steam head’s output holes.

Attention: Keep the steam engine clean. Attention: To avoid damage to the equipment, do not connect power directly to the components. IMPORTANT: Each unit is provided with a pressure-release device (safety valve) to address overpressure due to inadvertent blockage of the output steam head or piping. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS: Electricity supply circuitry: 1. Test the voltage of the electric supply and make sure that the steam engine is supplied with suitable electric power. 2.

TROUBLE SHOOTING: Trouble Causes of Trouble Trouble-Shooting Method The machine does not start when power is supplied 1. The fuse is burned 2. The wire connection terminal is loose 3. Bad Contact in the connection wire between the controller and the steam engine 1. Change the fuse (on the shell 0.8A/250V) 2. Plug-in the wire connection terminal 3. Make sure the steam engine and controller are in good contact. Check pins on controller cable GFCI switch breaks automatically 1.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESETTING THE MANUAL HI-LIMIT SWITCHES If the unit fills with water but does not produce steam, the issue may not be the heating element. 1. Shut off the power to the unit at the breaker. 2. Remove the top of the steam generator and make sure the power connections are tight. 3. There is an update that allows you to disconnect the wires from the terminal block and wire nut them together.
PART 2: STANDARD CONTROL PANEL Attention: Before installing the controller, make sure the steam generator is shut off otherwise damage may occur. Do not use a controller that is not specifically designed for the steam generator, do not use the controller to operate steam generator of another brand. The instructions include important safety, operation and maintenance information. Keep the instruction manual handy.
CONTROLLER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Attention: Before installing the controller, make sure the steam engine is shut off. Step one Determine the installation location of the controller. For installation: 1. 4 -5 feet away from the ground or convenient height inside or outside the room. 2. Locate controller on separate wall from steam nozzle. 3. Do not expose yourself to the direct spray of steam. The controller wire is 1.5 feet long with a controller extension wire going to the steam engine being 19.
TEMPERATURE DETECTOR INSTALLATION 1. The position of the temperature sensor should be about shoulder high where occupant will be sitting. Avoid installing near the steam outlet. 2. As shown in Fig.1, drill a small hole (3/8”) in the selected position. 3. Apply silicone along the edge of the back of the detector foundation (as shown in Fig.2). 4. Use a locknut to lock the detector foundation. (As shown in Fig.2) 5.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. When power supply is applied to the steam box system the RED stand-by light (#9) will be illuminated. (see Illustration of the controller panel for location) 2. Pressing the ON/OFF button will start the system. The steam box will fill with water. This will take a few minutes; the water may cycle on and off a few times as the water tank fills. This is normal operation. The display will show ambient Temperature and Running time - 8 hrs. Both red lights will be off. 3.
PART 3: DELUXE CONTROL PANEL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Use soft cloth with a little soap water to clean the controller. 2. Do not use abrasive cleaning tools or material. SAFETY AND OPERATION INFORMATION Warning: If the installation and operation instructions are not read or understood, do not install or use, to prevent serious damage or injury. Install the controller based on the installation instructions, otherwise, the temperature in the steam room will be too high or will not heat properly.
BLUEPRINT FOR THE CONTROL PANEL • Complete set including: o Control panel o Temperature sensor and holder o User manual o Middle cable between dual panels (6.5 feet) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION OF CONTROLLER Important Before installing the controller, make sure the steam generator is shut off otherwise the controller may not operate properly or be damaged. Step One: The controller is designed to be installed in the steam room. Points to consider: 1. 4-5 feet from the ground or a convenient height. 2.
Step Five: TEMPERATURE DETECTOR INSTALLATION 1. The position of the temperature detector should be about shoulder high while sitting and as far away as possible from the steam head. Avoid installing near the steam outlet or room door. 2. As shown in Fig. 1, drill a small hole of 3/8in. in the selected position. 3. Apply a circle of silicone along the edge of the back of the detector foundation (as shown in Fig 2) 4. Use a lock nut to lock detector foundation. (as shown in Fig .2) 5.
CONTROLLER FUNCTION INSTRUCTION Attention: Avoid bending the pins inside the cable connection the control panel and steam generator. Make sure the arrows on the male and female ends are lined up as illustrated below. DO NOT TWIST.
KEYPAD OPERATION The blue ring around the fly shuttle indicates the unit is in standby mode and ready for operation (8). Press the on/off button to start the operation of the generator. (1) Note - If the Steam Light (9) starts blinking, it means there is no water coming to the generator. Determine the cause and correct. The unit will display the default time (6) and ambient temperature (5). To find out the default temperature press the temperature adjustment button (4).
OPTIONAL- DUAL KEYPAD System has the same main control panel and subpanel. The subpanel does not include steam control cable and external temp sensor. Functions on the main panel and subpanel are the same.
