IMPORTANT:

  The following general information should be used in conjunction with 

consultations with your architect, designer and contractor in determining all factors necessary 
in providing a suitable and safe steam room.
Read these instructions before installation or service.  Although this steambath generator 
has been  fully qualified for shipment by SAWO, 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 SAWO sizing 
guide enclosed (see page 13). 
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 (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: 

 SAWO units are designed to function using only SAWO controls. Both should be 

installed in strict accordance with the specific instructions contained in the manuals provided. 
A separate manual is provided for the installation of the SAWO controls as well.  

                            Electrical shock hazard. SAWO AS steam generators are connected to 220-240V 
(One Phase models only: STS45-1,STS60-1, STS75-1and STS90-1), or 380-430V (Three Phase 
models only: STS45-3, STS60-3, STS75-3, STS90-3, STS120-3and STS150-3) 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.

The Steam Room must be fully enclosed, complete with walls, door, flooring and ceiling.
We recommend rubber linings (e.g. gaskets) for the door to effectively seal the heat and 
contain the steam inside the Steam Room.
If tiles are used for the flooring or some other smooth surface material, provide suitable 
anti-skid strips or rubberized mats to prevent slipping resulting to injury.
Materials used for the walls and ceiling should have water-resistant, non-corrosive surfaces 
such as tiles, marbles, molded acrylic, or other non-porous materials. The ceiling should be 
dome-shaped to prevent the dripping of condensate. If using an acrylic, a fiberglass or other 
non-heat resistant materials are to be used as part of the Steam Room enclosure.
A drain must be provided in the flooring.
Heating, venting or air conditioning devices should not be installed inside the Steam Room.
Steam Room windows should be double paned.
Limit the Steam Room ceiling to a height of 2.5 meters. Exceeding 2.5m will require a 
higher-rated steam generator.
SAWO strongly recommends for the “WARNING” (when to or not to use the Steam Room) to be 
posted in a conspicuous place near the Steam Room.
