Installation Instructions
STEAMCORE
BEFORE INSTALLING
Read these instructions before installation or service. Although the
Steamcore Steam Bath Generator has been fully qualified for shipment by
Saunacore, the following must be reviewed for proper, safe and
enjoyable steam bathing.
Verify that the model and accessories are correct, including line voltage.
Insure steambath generator has been correctly sized for the steam room.
Pay particular attention to room volume and construction.
Marble or glass walls and ceilings, or exterior walls "ENLARGE" the room's
size, requiring a generator larger than one based only on the room's cubic
foot (L x H x W) volume.
The physical size of the unit, clearance for plumbing, servicing, and its
distance from the steam room must all be considered before final
installation.
IMPORTANT
Steamcore units are intended to be operated with a Steamcore timer
and/or temperature control only, and are to be installed strictly in
accordance with the specific instructions supplied with these optional
accessories and the information contained in this manual.
CAUTION!
Steamcore steam generators are connected to extremely high line voltage
and contain live electrical components. All installation and service to be
performed by qualified electricians and plumbers only. Installation or
service by unqualified persons may void the warranty.
Pressure Safety Valve(s) - (Supplied Only - must be installed on-site by plumber).
1. Safety valve is a safety equipment in order to prevent too much steam pressure in the steam generator
due to various reasons; such as, steam line blockage, undersized steam lines, steam line traps, plugged
steam outlets (vandalism), etc.
2. The pressure limit range of the safety valve(s) supplied is 15 psi.
A Pressure Safety Valve (Steam Pressure Valve) has been supplied with this steam generator unit.
The steam generator has a mounting location (labelled) for the pressure safety valve.
A qualified licensed plumber must install the supplied pressure safety valve during installation of the steam
generator. Attach by screwing the pressure valve onto the steam generator in the designated location
using hi-heat silicone and allow to cure 24 hours before using steam generator.
The pressure safety valve must be installed by a qualified licensed experienced plumber.
Steam generators 18 KW (18000 watts) and higher will have a factory installed 10 psi Steam Pressure Switch.
This switch will cut power to the steam generator when the inside boiler tank or steam line(s) pressure exceeds 10 psi.
The switch will reset and activate power when the pressure drops below the 10 psi factory set range.

Steam Room Requirements
STEAMCORE
STEAM ROOM:
If you are using an existing shower or bathtub, make sure that it is
completely sealed right up to the ceiling. The ceiling and walls must be tiled
or covered with water resistant material. If you are building a steam room,
talk to someone that has experience with the construction of steam rooms.
Steam rooms must be constructed differently from any other type of room.
STEAM ROOM REQUIREMENTS:
1.) Steam room must be completely enclosed, with full walls, door, floor and
ceiling.
2.) It is recommended that a gasketed door is used for heat sealing and
steam containment.
3.) If tile flooring is used, install anti-skid strips or equivalent, for safety.
4.) Walls and ceilings must be covered with water-resistant, non-corrosive
surface, such as tile, molded acrylic, fiberglass, etc.
5.) Provide a floor drain.
6.) Ceiling and seat must slope slightly to allow condensate to runoff.
(Ceiling slope 2” per 1 ft)
7.) Steam generator must be on a flat surface, in an area where it would be
accessible, dry, and where it will not freeze. The steam lines should always
slope either towards the generator or towards the steam heads as not-to
allow the formation of condensate to accumulate.
8.) All inside surfaces should be adequately sealed. Around faucets, shower
head, and steam heads should be sealed with mildew resistant silicone.
9.) Ceiling height should be no higher than 7ft to 8 ft, preferably 7 ft.
10.) Room should be insulated with not more than a maximum R-12 value.
A higher R-value may cause room to heat to quickly and not allow steam to
condense normally.
11) Steam lines over 10 ft should be insulated.
Ventilation:
NOTE: These are only suggestions.
Saunacore manufactures quality
steambath generators and sauna heaters;
therefore we cannot warrant information
regarding materials and construction
methods of steam room and sauna room.
Generally, steam rooms which are used at a maximum of two hours at one
time do not require any special ventilation. Steam rooms which are
continously used more than two hours at a time should be ventilated with a
ratio of 10-20 cubic meters of air per person per hour. The air inlet maybe
placed down low on the same wall as the door or a gap under the door. the
air outlet should be up high as far away from the inlet as possible. Do not
locate above door or over seats. Outlet should be connected to a vent duct
leading to open air. Duct should be 100% steam and water tight. Avoid sags
in duct which may cause water pockets, that will block outlet, due to
condensation.

Locating the Steamcore Steam Generator Unit
STEAMCORE
Locating the Steamcore Steam Generator Unit:
1. Plan the location for mounting your steam generator.
2. Do not install generator inside steam room.
3. Do not install generator outdoors.
4. Do not install generator near combustible or corrosive materials or
chemicals.
5. Place the generator in a dry and easy accessible location for future
periodic maintenance. Locate steambath generator preferably within 25
feet of the steam room, though it may be placed up to 50 feet away.
6. A gravity drain will be necessary for all units.
7. Never locate a unit that may be exposed to frost, fire, or high moisture.Do
not install steambath generator in unheated attic or basement where water
could freeze.
8. The unit must be located on a solid and flat level surface.
9. Install generator in an upright position only.
10. Steam line, and drain valve become hot during operation. Provide
appropriate protection.
Example:
A ceramic steam shower with the demensions 7ft
length by 5ft wide and 7ft high (7ft x 5ft x 7ft =
245), is 245 Cubic feet.
11. Commander Controls and Air Switch Control can be located inside the
steam room or on the outside of the steam room. See seperate control
installation and operation instructions for specific details. Mechanical
controls are located outside the steamroom, a remote sensor is required for
all controls
12. Install anti-water hammer device as required.
13. Provide access to both ends of the steambath generator for servicing.
Since the steam shower has ceramic wall finishes,
it then requires a 25% cubic footage increase.
Steam Bath Generator (Sizing and Selection)
(Ceramic tile) 25% x (steam shower) 245 =
61.25 ft
Measure the length, width and height (in feet) of the steam shower. Multiply
the three measurements together to get the basic volume in cubic feet.
The wall finish cubic feet is then added to the
origin dimensions to calculate the total cubic,
which in this case is 306.25 ft.
(ceramic tile) 61.25 + (steam shower) 245 =
306.25 ft
Now select the next size of Steamcore model
generator which exceeds the calculated room
cubic feet. This case the KWS (9000 watts)
generator is required. If there is doubt in size, it is
recommended to choose the next larger size.

Direct the steam head(s) outlet slot down and the fragrance reservoir up. If
steam room is provided or built with seat(s), locate steam head as far away
from seat as possible.
Drain:
This is a gravity draining system on all model steam bath generators. A ½
inch compression fitting is supplied with the unit and is to be installed on a
½ inch copper pipe that slopes slightly downwards and away from the unit.
It can be plumbed into an existing drain line or to an open floor drain. If
there is absolutely no drain available, you may direct it into the shower/
steam room. When connecting, you must use the two wrench method or
you may break the seal on the connection between the drain pipe and the
boiler tank, and cause leakage.
Testing: Now that your Steamcore is connected, you must test it.
1. Turn on your water supply and check for leaks.
2. Turn on your power supply at the electrical panel; be sure the unit is
receiving power.
3. Set the 30 minute mechanical timer to the desired time and wait for
steam.
NOTE:
To preserve steam head finish, do not use wrench
or other tools to tighten. Hand tightening is
sufficient when Teflon or equal pipe thread
sealing compound is used.
Option: Elegance Controls - - set temperature and press on
Option: Press Air Switch until red LED Light comes on and
wait (pre-programmed 30 minute timer and temperature set at 50
degrees Celsius)
4. Within a few minutes your steam room should begin to fill with steam.
NOTE:
5. Check to make sure your steam lines do not leak condensation and steam.
A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing.
Where local codes permit, provide a drain line
connection from a generator drain valve. Check
local plumbing code for receptor, trap and vent
requirement. Unit drains by gravity. Slope down.
6. You may want to insulate the steam lines with pipe insulation; this is
strongly recommended if your steam generator is more than 10 feet from
the steam room.

General Installation Instructions (All Steam Bath Units)
STEAMCORE
Rinse and Flush Operation:
(Silver and Gold Models Only)
All units have the pre-programmed rinse and flush feature. This will
automatically take place after each steam bath, it will happen
approximately 10 minutes immediately after the steam generator has
finished being used and the set time has expired. On the units with the
manual drain (Bronze Package), the Rinse and Flush operation will not
occur. Manually open the drain valve immediately after the steamer stops,
and then close the valve when ready for the next steam bath.
Filtration:
Your steam bath generator has been equipped with an inline filter from the
factory. You may want to add your own secondary external filter or water
softener, although it is not mandatory. This helps reduce foreign particles
that may pass through the water line and lodge in the solenoid valve.
Calcium and other mineral deposits is the number one reason for steamer
breakdown. A secondary filtration system will add additional help to reduce
or remove these components from the water prior to it entering the unit
which will help extend the life and minimize maintenance schedules of the
steam bath generator.
Maintenance:
Saunacore steambath generators are designed for unattended operation
and require little maintenance. Other than periodic draining, maintenance
procedures are not required. Every 2 months, or more often in "hard" water
areas, the drain valve should be opened fully flushing out accumulated
materials, salts, and other particles that are natural by-products of boiling
water. Note: For best results, this should be done immediately after using the
steambath generator, while contents are still hot and with the control off.
Semi-annual maintenance is strongy recommended for
commercial units.
Contact Saunacore for details.
IMPORTANT:
Residential build-up from poor water quality may cause an incorrect
reading of the water level control circuit. If this happens, your steam
generator will attempt to clean and flush the system, if that does not
work, it will shut down completely and the led display on the keypad will
flash continuously. This is an indication that your water level control
circuit needs service.
The main cicuit breaker should be switched off immediately and kept off
untill the problem has been corrected.

Automatic Rinse and Flush Operation
(Silver and Gold Models Only)
This automatic function considerably reduces the buildup of calcium
carbonate and other deposits in the water reservoir. Do not switch off any
switches between the main supply and the steam generator until at least
60 minutes after the control panel timer has turned the system off,
otherwise, the automatic emptying and flushing of the water
reservior will not start.
WARNING: The water is very hot.
Drainage from Steam Generator
The pipe must lead directly to the nearest drain outside the steam room
itself. The temperature of the water that is drained off is approximately
95°C/200°F.
IMPORTANT! There must be no blockage of any type (tap, faucet, etc.) along
the drainage pipe. Regardless of where the drainage head is located, it
must slope all the way from the steam generator to the waste outlet. Under
certain conditions, it may be necessary to place the steam generator on the
wall brackets or a stand to achieve the right angle.
Cleaning the Steam Room
Rinse seats and flooring with warm water (do not use a high-pressure hose)
each time the steam room has been used. Wash the seats regularly with a
mild soapy solution. Stubborn stains can be removed with ethanol or
petrolem (mineral) spirits. Never use scouring powder, strong alkaline
cleaners or aggressive solvents on the seats and walls in the steam room. It
is important that the steam room floor is cleaned thoroughly - right into the
corners. Scrub Clean with hot water and floor cleaner, which will remove
grease and grime.
Shower in the steam room
We always recommend installing a shower in domestic steam rooms. After
all, a steam room also makes the best shower room imaginable. And it is so
pleasent to cool off with an ivigorating shower now and again during a
steam bath.

How to make the most of a steam bath.
Most people find that the most comfortable steam bathing temperature is
between 40 and 45°C. Use a bimetallic type of thermometer to check the
temperature. Fix it on the wall about 180 cm (72”) above floor level, as far
from the steam jet as possible. There is no need for a hygrometer. The
relativity is always 100%.
• Shower and wash before starting your steam bath
• Take a towel to sit on in the steam room
• Relax and enjoy the soothing clouds of steam.
• Cool down now and again with a refreshing shower. Alternate
between the steam bath and the shower for as long as you feel
comfortable.
• After your last spell amongst the clouds of steam, you’ll find a
long, cool shower a real delight.
Let your body dry off naturally before putting your clothes on. Relax, treat
yourself to a cold drink and enjoy a sensation of true well-being. Don’t get
dressed until your body has cooled down and your pores have closed once
again.
CAUTION !!
The steam head(s) (or nozzle(s)) create very
high degree of temperature in and around the
steam heads during use. The steam heads
should be installed as far away from any bathers
path. Bathers are to avoid this area and from any
direct contact to the steam heads. Burn or injury
may occur if touched or in the vicinity during use.
Appropriate protection should be provided to
avoid injury.
