When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
- Supervise children at all times.
- Steam is hot and can cause injury or death if improperly used. Steam rooms contain steam and elevated temperatures. Please read and observe all warnings in this manual before installing or using a steam room.
- 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 steamed and avoid the steam near the steamed.
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). Limit your use of steam to 10-15 minutes until you are certain of your body’s reaction.
D. Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy. Pregnancy or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician regarding correct exposure.
E. Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a steam bath.
F. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a steam bath since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Hypertax Hermia 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.

Installation instructions for round & Square I tempo ® and itempoplus ®
IMPORTANT NOTE : If the desired location for the control is outside the
steam room a Remote Temperature Probe (MSTS) must be installed inside the
steam room. Contact Mr Steam technical service 1-800-7678326 for more
information on the Remote Temperature Probe.
Note: The connector is keyed with the flat facing up. The control cable
is the same at both ends.
Step 1
Determine the desired installation location of the control. The i Tempo and
itempoplus controls are designed to be installed inside or outside the steam
room as a matter of personal preference. If the control is installed inside
the steam room the control must be located:
- 4-5 feet above the floor near the bather seating area.
- The control features an integral temperature sensor. Locate the control in a location representative of the desired steam bathing temperatures. Do not locate the control above or near the steam head or direct steam emissions. Locating the controls near the steam head or near direct steam emissions may result in poor steam room temperature control.
- On a vertical wall
- The control cable length is 30 feet. Insure that the control and/or steam generator are located accordingly. Contact a Mr Steam technical service representative if a longer cable is required (60 ft. cable, PN 103990-60).
IMPORTANT NOTE : The control cable should be run in a dedicated 1” conduit to facilitate installation and service. Be careful not to strain, staple, pinch or otherwise damage the control cable. Route cable as required to permit replacement. Do not route cable inside conduit together with power lines or close to hot water or steam piping.
Step 2 Diagram 1
Make a 25⁄8” wide by 37 ⁄8” high cutout in the desired control location. Do
not oversize or under size the cutout.
Step 3 Diagram 2
Route the control cable (provided with the control) from the wall cutout to
the steam generator. Connect one end of the cable to the steam generator
connector.
Note: The connector is keyed with the flat facing up. The control cable
is the same at both ends.
Step 4 Diagram 3
Firmly connect the other end of the cable to the control. Turn on power to the
steam generator and test the control to verify correct connections. Test per
the instructions on pages 10-15. With verification of proper control
function, proceed to Step 5.
If the generator is on for more than a few minutes steam will start coming out of the steamed. Insure that the steam room is not occupied.
Step 5 Diagram 4
Remove and discard peel-off paper to expose adhesive liner. Step 6 Diagram
5
Run a bead of silicone (provided) as shown to the outer edge of the control
faceplate, following the contour of the circle or square shape. Use silicone
as required to create a
moisture seal.
Note: The silicone supplied by Mr Steam can be used to meet a variety of
sealing and gasketing. It cures to silicone rubber and adheres to glass, wood,
metal, porcelain, ceramic tile, painted surfaces, many plastics and rubber.
Surfaces must be clean and dry. Apply thin layer of product. Fit together and
support if necessary. Allow excess material to cure, then trim with a sharp
blade. Sealant “skins” in 5 minutes, dries to touch in 1 hour. Fully cures and
bonds in 24 hrs.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Do not apply excessive amounts of silicone. Do not apply
silicone to any other parts of the control including the adhesive gasket.
Step 7 Diagram 6
Insure the mounting surface is clean and dry as required for good adhesion.
Hold the control with the LED display in the 12 o’clock position and press the
