The proper size Steam Generator has been selected by 
using the sizing page in the “Full Line Brochure,” “Pricing 
Guide,” or “The Generator Sizing Guide” in the Residen-
tial Systems/Steambath Product Information section of 
the Steamist web site - www.steamist.com.

CAUTION: An improperly sized Steam Generator will 
NOT produce the amount of steam necessary to reach 
selected temperature.

The proper voltage Steam Generator has been selected 
(i.e., 208V or 240V). A 208V Generator operating on 
240V will damage the heating element, and a 240V 
Generator operating on 208V will result in a 25% 
loss of power.

The Steam Generator is installed in an upright position.

The proper sized 90°C wire and circuit breaker have 
been used.

The circuit breaker is NOT a GFI (Ground Fault 
Interrupter) type.

The Steam Generator is properly grounded.

The circuit breaker or disconnect switch is on.

Water supply is open to the Steam Generator.
