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 con-
trol, as required by some states, the reset button on the con-
trol must be reset before unit will begin developing 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.
To provide for safe and low temperature blow-
down, and to comply with National and local plumbing and
building Codes, it may be necessary to blowdown into an ASME
Code blow-down separator tank, or to take other precautions to
prevent damage to building drain plumbing. Consult with a
licensed plumber.
NOTE: ASME blowdown separator tank systems are
available from Mr. Steam. For more information please

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 turns the generator off.
The blowdown pilot light is energized during blow-down.
To set the timer, refer to instructions on inside of element
access door.
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 recom-
mended 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-mounted safety
switch. Open blowdown valve(s) SLOWLY.
IMPORTANT: Pressure may still be in the generator.
2.
Discharge is complete when gauge glass shows no
water. Unit has been effectively drained. Follow this pro-
cedure:
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 connec-
tions 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 oper-
ating level automatically.
2.
When proper operating level is reached (approximately
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
