WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of injury:
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).
WARNING!
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 steam bath;
c) Unawareness of impending risk;
d) Fetal damage in pregnant women;
e) Physical inability to exit the steam bath; and
f) Unconsciousness.
WARNING!
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of hyperthermia.
Limit your use of steam to 10 – 15 minutes until you are certain of your body’s reaction.
Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy.
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician regarding correct exposure.
Caution: Do not place wire in close proximity to hot water or steam pipes.
Attention: If the installation and operation instruction are not read or understood, do not install. Install the controller
based on the installation instruction.

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 & 6 gauge 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.
Installation of 6KW
When using the connection terminal block, the connection can become loose due to expansion and contraction from
the heat and the small vibrations caused when the unit is running. After the initial installation the connection must be
checked after 30 days to make sure the connection is still tight (tighten if necessary), then the connection should be
checked about every 6 months after that.
If desired connections may be made directly not using the terminal block. Follow the instructions above for the 9KW
and 12KW steam generators.
