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

For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior
o installation. If the mineral content exceeds the following
t
recommended limits, various external treatment processes are
recommended to correct the problem.
NOTE: 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 generator 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.
NOTE:
control must be located accordingly. A 60 foot cable is available as a special order part for iTempo
