IMPORTANT NOTES:
This document contains important safety, operation and maintenance
information. Leave this document with the homeowner. Do not discard this document.
The following general information should be used in conjunction with
consultations with an architect, designer and contractor in determining factors necessary in providing a suitable and safe steam room.
MrSteam steam generators are intended to be operated with
MrSteam iSteam
and iGenie®controls only, and are to be installed strictly in accordance with the specific instructions contained in this manual and as
supplied in the manuals provided with the controls or accessories.
For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior to installation. If the
ineral content exceeds the following recommended limits, various external treat-
m
ment processes are recommended to correct the problem.
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.
Poor water quality can affect efficiency or result in steam generator damage. Water
contains impurities in solution and suspension. These impurities concentrate in the
generator. The concentration of these impurities increases as more feedwater is
introduced into the generator and steam is produced. If the suspended solids are
allowed to concentrate beyond certain limits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the
generator 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 water quality and by periodic draining of the generator.
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.
The optional AutoFlush System feature
automatically drains the MrSteam
tor following each use. A time delay allows
the water to cool down (about two hours)
before it drains by gravity for a safe and
gentle operation.
LOCATING THE STEAM GENERATOR
Select a location as near as practical to the steam room.
Typical locations include: closet, vanity cabinet, heated attic or basement.
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 is available as a special order part for iTempo
103990-60 and PN 104117-60 for iSteam

5. Strainer recommended upstream of feed water
connection.
6. In order to reduce operating noise, reducing feed water
pres-sure to between 15 - 20 psi is recommended.
Optional pres-sure reducing valve part number 104198.
7. Provide anti-water hammer device as required.
8. Install an approved backflow preventer as required by
local codes.
DRAIN (1⁄2" NPT)
The drain from the generator should not share an
undersink trap, unless the generator is mounted higher than
the sink to prevent damage to the generator if the drain
backs up.
A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing.
Provide a drain line connection from steambath generator
drain valve according to National and local Codes. Check
local plumb-ing code for receptor, trap and vent
requirements. Do not connect Drain line and Safety Valve
line together. Unit drains by gravity.
Do not plumb the generator drain and
condensation pan drain together in such a way that will
cause drain water to back into condensation pan.
DO NOT drain into a steam enclosure or any location where
accidental contact with drain water may occur.
In the event of a power failure the AutoFlush System valve
will open and may discharge boiling water causing a scalding
hazard.
DO NOT connect the drain valve to the steam
piping
AROMASTEAM
If the optional AromaSteam Electronic Oil Delivery System
(PN: MS AROMA) is to be installed, a 90 degree T plumbing
fitting must be installed at a designated location on the
steam piping. See the MrSteam AromaSteam Operation and
Instruction Manual (PN: 100402) for installation information
before the steam piping is installed at the technical
downloads section of www.mrsteam.com
STEAM PIPING (1⁄2" NPT)
1. DO NOT install any valve in steam piping. Flow of steam
must be unobstructed.
2. Use 1/2-inch brass pipe or copper tubing from unit to
steam head as permitted by codes.
3. Insulate steam piping with fiberglass pipe insulation or
similar insulation rated 212° F or higher.
4. Pitch steam piping1/4" per foot towards steam head or
steam generator to avoid valleys and trapping of
condensate.
Failure to pitch the steam piping as required for
condensate to drain, may cause condensate to block the
flow of steam. Blocking the steam flow may cause steam
pressure to discharge boiling water through the steamhead,
resulting in a scalding hazard. Blocking the flow of steam
may cause steam to discharge through the safety valve,
resulting in a scalding hazard.
A 1.5" hole in the steam room is required to
mount the steamhead. For Linear steamhead, please refer to
the installation instructions.
SAFETY VALVE (3⁄4" NPT)
Where permitted by local codes, provide an outlet plumbing
connection for safety valve.
To insure proper and automatic safety valve
operation: DO NOT connect a shut off valve or a plug at
safety valve outlet. DO NOT connect a shut off valve or any
obstruction in steam supply pipe. DO NOT connect the
safety-valve output into the steam piping.
CONDENSATION PAN
MrSteam strongly recommends the use of a condensation
pan in the unlikely event of a plumbing leak. Check local
plumbing codes for receptor, trap and vent requirements.
Condensation pans drain by gravity. The condensation pan is
equipped with an integral 3/4" fitting. See page 17 for
additional condensation pan installation information.
Do not plumb the generator drain and condensation pan drain together in such a way that will cause drain
water to back into condensation pan.
INSTALLING THE ROUND OR SQUARE
AROMASTEAM STEAMHEAD
1
A 1
⁄
" clearance hole around the steam pipe is
2
needed to mount the steamhead.
STEP 1
Locate steam head 6-12 inches above floor, except for:
1. Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.
2. For enclosures with acrylic or other non-heat resistant
flooring install Acrylic Shield Part Number 103938.
3.To prevent door seals from deteriorating do not locate
the steam head where direct steam emission would contact
door seals.
4. To reduce noise, do not locate steamhead within 12" from
a wall.
STEP 2
Install steamhead with the oil well facing up as shown. Hand
tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread sealing
compound is used.
STEP 3
Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run
steam piping 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 4
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
from that dimension and select a brass nipple of that length to
finish the installation.
STEP 5
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. 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.
1/8" minimum clearance required

CARE TIPS FOR ALL CONTROLS AND
STEAMHEADS
1. Use only mild soap and water on a soft cloth to clean
the control and steamhead.
2. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers.
3. If the decorative cover is damaged on the iTempo
r iTempo/Plus call MrSteam technical service for
o
replacement parts.
Replacement of the decorative covers requires
removal and reinstallation of the control from the mounting
surfaces.
STEAM GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
MrSteam steambath generators require little 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 byproducts of boiling water.
Flush a minimum of two-three hours after the con-
trol has been turned off to insure that the water has cooled.
Draining immediately after a steam cycle may
expose PVC and other piping to high temperature water. Check
local codes. The unit will refill automatically when the control is
activated again. In areas of hard water, a MrSteam AutoFlush
system is recommended for generator longevity.
Failure to allow the water to cool will expose the
equipment and user to scalding water and cause property and
personal injury.
®
To prevent slip and fall hazards non-skip
strips must be installed on the steam room floor.
DO NOT alter or modify any MrSteam
product. Doing so may result in an inoperative or
hazardous installation and will void the UL listing and
warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
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
properly. Doing so may result in an inoperative or
hazardous condition.
