When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

2.

3.

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 steam head and avoid the

steam near the steam head.

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.

Do not permit children under the age of 16

to use this steambath.

To reduce the risk of injury:

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

not actual size

HYPERTHERMIA occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6° F. The symptoms of
hyperthermia include an increase in the internal tem­perature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness,
and fainting. The effects of hyperthermia include:

a) Failure to perceive heat;
b) Failure to recognize the need to exit the steambath;
c) Unawareness of impending risk;
d) Fetal damage in pregnant women;
e) Physical inability to exit the steambath

and

f) Unconsciousness.

The use of alcohol, drugs, or medica-

tion can greatly increase the risk of hyperthermia.

A warning placard has been provided in the Information
envelope. This placard is an essential part of providing
a safe environment for steam room users. This placard
must be mounted to the wall of the shower or steam
enclosure, at a point visible to all users. Failure to
mount this placard may result in serious injury or death.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

•

The guidelines for selecting the steambath generator is

a recommendation only. Because of variables in con­struction, these sizing instructions and specifications
should be considered as guidelines only. MrSteam will
review the model selected provided we receive com­plete information, including working drawings, specifi­cations, and pertinent electrical and construction
details. Otherwise, the manufacturer disclaims respon­sibility for the sizing of a model selected.

• For steam rooms constructed of acrylic or synthetic
materials, select next lower-rated CT model.

• The total adjusted room volume allows for up to 60
feet of insulated steam piping from the CT generator
to the steam room. If the 60 feet piping is exceeded
consult with factory. When locating the steam gener­ator consideration of the control and external tem­perature probe must be taken into account. The max­imum length for a control cable is 60 feet. The maxi­mum length of the MSTS is 60 feet. MSTS connects
to the steam generator and is required to be installed
inside the steam room when the control is mounted
outside the steam room.
