GUIDELINES FOR STEAM ROOMS

1. Walls, ceiling and fl oor must be completely covered with waterproof fi nish; tile, marble, stone or slate.

2. Any smooth surface fl ooring that is used such as tile or marble, should include an anti-skid fi nish to avoid slipping and injury.

3. Any exposed plaster, plasterboard or sheet rock surface must be well sealed with a commercial quality waterproof sealer, urethane or epoxy, at least 3 coats.

4. Use cement board, DO NOT use green board.

5. Ceiling should be pitched away from the door 1-1/2” per foot or constructed in a gable confi guration to prevent condensation from dripping.

6. Built-in seat should be slightly pitched to allow for condensation run-off.

7. Steam room must be completely enclosed with walls, door, fl oor and ceiling, but should not be vapor proof. A slight opening of approximately 1/4” is desired to create movement of the steam.

8. A standard glass shower door is suffi cient, a special door is not necessary.

9. Make sure there is a fl oor drain for condensation run-off and cleaning.

10. Do not install a fan inside steam room. Hot steam rises and will escape through the fl apper.

11. Windows that are part of the steam room enclosure should be double paned.

12. If using lights inside steam room they must be vapor proof.

13. A deionizer or inline fi lter hooked up on incoming water line is helpful in hard/corrosive water areas.

14. Install the steam generator to hot side of water to reduce heating time, unless a water softener is hooked up. Water softeners are usually hooked up to hot side.

15. Check local utility line voltage and choose appropriate steam generator voltage; 208 Volt or 240 Volt.

16. Make sure the steam generator is installed in an upright and level position and is in a location that is

ACCESSIBLE for Water Level Sensor Probe maintenance.

17. Steam generator should never be located where it is exposed to outside weather conditions, freezing temperatures, near fl ammable materials or inside the steam room.

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, steam line, plumbing and other components become extremely hot (+/- 212°F) during operation.The steam head and plumbing must be installed in a location so that contact by user cannot occur. Insulate plumbing lines for additional protection. The steam head is hot. Do not touch the steam head and avoid the steam near the steam head.

C After the system is shut down the components will remain hot. Do not come into contact with the steam head or components until the system has returned to a normal temperature.

D. Prolonged exposure to steam may cause hyperthermia. 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: Failure to perceive heat; failure to recognize the need to exit the steam room; unawareness of impending risk; fetal damage in pregnant women; physical inability to exit the steam room; and unconsciousness.

E. 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.

F. 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.

G. 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.

H. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of hyperthermia.

I. Some aroma therapy oils may cause an allergic reaction - USE WITH CAUTION.

J. The installation of a Steam Diffuser is recommended. This device will enable the user to move comfortably around the steam shower and may help prevent burning or scalding.

K. Always shut electricity off at the main breaker panel.

IMPORTANT: All plumbing should be done by a qualifi ed plumber and must conform to all local and national plumbing codes.

warning ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED AT THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS

1. Use copper or brass fi ttings only. DO NOT use galvanized or black iron.

DO NOT USE PLUMBERS PUTTY ON ANY WATER CONNECTIONS

2. A union must be installed close to the generator to facilitate easy removal, if necessary.

3. Tap off any existing water supply line, hot or cold, with 1/2” copper tubing or 1/2” NPT pipe. If hot water line is used temperature should not exceed 160°F. The maximum water pressure should not exceed 120spsi.

4. Flush at least 1 gallon of water to clear line prior to connecting to the 1/4” compression water inlet fi tting

(A in Plumbing Diagram)

on generator. When tightening this fi tting, use two wrenches to avoid strain on Water

Solenoid Valve inside generator.

5. Install a shut-off valve

(B in Plumbing Diagram)

on the water supply line as close to the generator as possible.

DO NOT USE A SADDLE VALVE

6. For best results install an inline fi lter between the shut-off valve and generator.

7. For best results, steam generator should be higher than the steam head. If this is not possible, steam line must slope 1/4” per foot minimum to steam room.

8. Connect 1/2” copper tubing or NPT pipe to steam outlet

(C in Plumbing Diagram)

on Models SW-50 thru SW-112 or 3/4” copper tubing or NPT pipe to steam outlet

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL

ELECTRICAL

IMPORTANT: All wiring should be done by a qualifi ed electrician and must conform to all local and

warning ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

POWER MUST BE DISCONNECTED AT THE MAIN ELECTRICAL SUPPLY BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS

1. Supply wiring should be sized in accordance with the distance, voltage and amps of the unit and suitable for

90°C

.

2. A separate circuit breaker must be installed and sized according to the GENERATOR SIZING GUIDE (Page 3).

A GFCI is not required, however if generators quick disconnect is going to be located in a damp or moist area the a GFCI protected breaker is recommended.

3. Locate the electrical supply line knockout on top of generator enclosure. If this knockout is not going to be used,

DO NOT drill a knockout on the left side of the enclosure (drop down door facing out). Running an electrical supply line through the left side of the enclosure could potentially damage the low voltage circuit board.

4. Strip 1/2” insulation from the two (2) power wires and the one (1) ground wire.

5. Bring the two (2) incoming electrical supply wires to L1 and L2 and the one (1) ground wire to the ground terminal.

6. If unit is a 3 Phase, bring the three (3) incoming electrical supply wire to L1, L2 and L3 and the one (1) ground wire to the ground terminal.

7. Install a power disconnect near unit.

8. Install Timer

(G in Plumbing Diagram)

according to Timer Installation Instructions.

AUTOMATIC BLOWDOWN

CONNECTTION

1. With 1/2” pipe, connect Automatic Blowdown valve to approved drainage area. Piping must be pitched down away from Steam Generator. The water will drain by gravity.

WARNING: Improper draining due to sediment build up would result from an upward pitch.

REFER TO LOCAL PLUMBING CODES FOR RECEPTOR OR VENTING REQUIREMENTS

DO NOT PLUMB THE BLOWDOWN LINE TO THE STEAM LINE OR INTO THE STEAM ROOM

OPERATION

1. Automatic Blowdown is a two position spring return valve designed to electronically drain the water from the heating tank.

2. Every time the generator shuts off the Automatic Blowdown drain valve will open removing the water from the tank, keeping stagnant water from sitting between uses, giving the generator a longer life and reducing the amount of required maintenance.

TEST

1. To insure proper installation and connection of Automatic Blowdown you must test the functionality.

2. Once all connections are complete, turn on the generator allowing the heating tank to fi ll with water.

3. Once the heating tank is full of water, shut off generator immediately. It is NOT necessary to wait for the unit to produce steam.

4. After the generator is turned off the water should drain out.

5. If the test is not successful, turn off the main circuit breaker forcing the Automatic Blowdown drain valve open. Verify that the water does not back up or splash out.

6. If unable to correct problem contact Steam-Whirl Products Technical Support.

Press ON button, the Mini Mist Digital Timer display window will show the value of 60 minutes. Every minute thereafter, it will decrease and display the updated amount of time remaining.

•

At any time while the Mini Mist Digital Timer displays the time, the user may adjust the time remaining anywhere from 1 to 90 minutes, by using the up and down arrow icons. The timer will then count down from the new value, each minute, as before.

While the display is showing the temperature setting, either of the up and down arrow icons may be pressed so that the temperature setting can be adjusted.

•

Pressing the up and down arrow icons adjusts the temperature setting by one (1) degree increments from 90 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.

•

Repeated pressing of either arrow button or holding one of the buttons down, allows the use to change the setting to the desired temperature. If there is no further pressing of either button, the display will automatically revert back to displaying the current time remaining and the system will bring the steam temperature back to the temperature setting.

•

When power is fi rst supplied to the Mini Mist system or after a power interruption, the initial temperature setting will be 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

•

As long as the line power is not disconnected, the temperature setting will remain at the last user adjusted value.

3. The Mini Mist will shut-off steam when the desired temperature is reached and will automatically resume, if temperature drops below the set point.

4. If the Mini Mist is operating properly, peel liner off the back of the timer foam gasket and adhere to the wall.
