Installations Instructions For Steam Generator

Congrats on your purchase for a new steam generator. And now you are looking for the installations instructions for steam generator that you bought. The Steam Generator operates with one or two controls appropriately located inside and/or outside the steam room. It’s small enough in size to be tucked away using very little space in a vanity, closet, basement, or an insulated attic, but large enough in capacity to provide steam for most residential baths. The Steam Generator comes factory assembled, carefully wired and tested.

1. Pre-Installation

Proper electrical supply (208 or 240 Volt): See rating label on Steam Generator and chart on the back page. Determine the proper size of wire, voltage, amperage, and phase for the Steam Generator. Only UL rated 90°C wire can be used.

• Dedicated over current protection device, such as an in-line fuse/circuit breaker required: Fuse/circuit breaker to be installed must be sized in accordance with the chart on the back page. Do NOT install a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) to this equipment (per article 210-8 in the National Electric Code).
• Route power supply cable to the location where the Steam Generator will be installed (before walls are closed).

2. Electrical Rough-in

• At this time read through the installation instructions for the selected control(s).
• Route appropriate power cable to the location the Steam Generator will be installed. If the receptacle is desired, mount the box for the receptacle near the location of the Steam Generator.

NOTE The plug and receptacle require a rating of no less than 250V and proper amperage. Refer to chart on page 4 for amperage rating. After the walls are complete, the Steam Generator and Control can be wired.
