Warnings
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
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).
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.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of hyperthermia. Limit your use of steam to
10 – 15 mi nutes 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 wiring in close proximity to hot water or steam pipes.
To prevent overheating, operate the controller as described in this manual only.
