Before Installing
IMPORTANT:
The following general information should be used in conjunction with consultations with your architect, designer and con-
tractor in determining all factors necessary in providing a suitable and safe steam room.
Read these instructions before installation or service. Although this MS steambath generator has been fully qualified for shipment by
MrSteam, the following must be reviewed for proper, safe and enjoyable steam bathing.
Verify that the model and accessories are correct, including incoming line voltage.
Insure steambath generator has been correctly sized for the steambath room. Pay particular attention to room volume and construction. If
any questions, please refer to MrSteam sizing guide enclosed. (see page 17)
Marble or glass walls or 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:
MrSteam units are intended to be operated with MrSteam TEMPO/PLUS, TEMPO, TEMPO/REMOTE and TEMPO/EXT Controls
only, and are to be installed strictly in accordance with the specific instructions contained in this manual and as supplied in the manuals pro-
vided with the controls.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. MrSteam steam generators are connected to 240V line voltage and contain live electrical
components. All installation and service to be performed by qualified and licensed electricians and plumbers only. Installation or service by
unqualified persons may void the warranty.
Steam Room Guidelines
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-type or other smooth surfaced flooring is used provide suitable anti-skid strips or equivalent, to prevent user slipping and injury.
4.
Walls and ceilings must be constructed of water-resistant, non-corrosive surface, such as tile, marble, molded acrylic, or other non-
porous material. The ceiling should be sloped to prevent dripping of condensate. If acrylic, fiberglass or other non-heat resistant materi-
als are used as part of the steamroom enclosure, see pg. 6, "Steamhead" for additional details.
5.
Provide a floor drain.
6.
No heating, venting or air conditioning devices should be installed inside the steam room.
7.
Steam room construction information is available from the Tile Council of America, Inc. by purchasing the TCA Handbook for Ceramic Tile
Installation. Tel: (864) 646-8453 or www.tileusa.com.
8.
Windows that are part of the steamroom should be double paned.
9.
Try to limit steamroom ceiling height to 8 feet. Exceeding 8 feet may require a higher-rated steam generator.
10.
MrSteam strongly recommends that a warning be posted in a conspicuous location near the steambath.
A peel-off warning has been provided (on the inside front cover) for installation. See Warning facsimile below.
The MS series of steam
generators are for residential use only.
Commercial or other nonresidential applications
