Installation, Operating & Maintenance Manual
(range 100°F – 120°F). Operating temperature is at the
discretion of the owner/operator.
For user comfort, the Digital 1

operat-
ing control is provided with an adjustable tempera-
ture range. The Digital 1 control will cycle automati-
cally to maintain the room operating temperature
selected by the owner/operator at the sensor at the
set point temperature.
4. If not supplied with an automatic blowdown system, the
generator must be blown manually down daily in accor-
dance with manual blowdown instructions below. See below.
An optional automatic blow-down assembly is recommend-
ed for daily maintenance.

AUTOMATIC BLOWDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Automatic Blowdown Systems drain the steambath
generator every 24 hours (or more often if required or
desired). It also turns the generator "ON" and "OFF".
Blowdown occurs after the timer is “ON” and the gen-
erator is “OFF”. The blowdown pilot light is energized
during blow-down. To set the timer, refer to instructions
on page 28.
Use of chemical cleaning compounds
voids warranty.
MANUAL BLOWDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Blowdown is an essential part of operation. It is an
excellent preventative maintenance procedure and
will prolong steambath generator operation. Insure the
following recommended blowdown schedule is
established and followed daily:
1.
If blowdown is conducted manually, at the end of
each working day while unit is still operating,
turn ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position and
close water supply valve. De-energize wall-mount-
ed safety switch. Open blowdown valve(s) SLOWLY.
Pressure may still be in the
generator.
2.
Discharge is complete when gauge glass shows no
water. Unit has been effectively drained. Follow this
procedure:
a. Fully close the blowdown valve
b. Fully open water supply
c. Put ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position
d. Close wall-mounted safety switch
OPERATION
With all power disconnected at
main switch, insure all electrical and mechanical
connections are tight before energizing unit to
prevent electrical problems and mechanical leaks.
1. Turn on water and electrical supply, power and
control voltage suppliers. Turn unit switch to ON
position; Switch light will go ON and water level
will reach operating level automatically.
2. When proper operating level is reached (approxi-
mately half way up the gauge glass), the heating
element(s) will be energized. In approximately 20
minutes, steam will begin to be produced.
3. Adjust the Digital 1 operating temperature control
to the desired steam room setting at the sensor
3.
When re-filling is complete (water feed solenoid valve
de-energizes and water is visible to half-way level in
gauge glass), turn off generator unless further operation
is required.
4.
If you have been supplied with a manual reset low water
control, as required by some states, the reset button on
the control must be reset before unit will begin develop-
ing pressure. Do not push reset until unit has filled with
water.
5.
More frequent blowdowns may be required in area with
hard water or excessive usage. Please consult with factory.
