IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
-
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
-
WARNING Supervise children at all times. !
-
Steam is hot and can cause injury or death
WARNING ! 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:
WARNING !
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 steamhead and avoid the steam near the steamhead.
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 steambath.
F. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a steambath since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure and circulation.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HYPERTHERMIA 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 steambath;
c) Unawareness of impending risk;
d) Fetal damage in pregnant women;
e) Physical inability to exit the steambath; and
f) Unconsciousness.
WARNING!
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of
hyperthermia.

instructions. Failure to install according to instructions will result in an
inoperative control or hazardous overheating or inadequate heating of the
steam room.
Failure to install according to instructions will result in an inoperative
control and overheating of the steam room.
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 MrSteam technical service 1-800-767- 8326 for more
information on the Remote Temperature Probe.
WARNING

Installation Instructions for Round & Square iTempo® 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 MrSteam 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
iTempo 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 steamhead 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 MrSteam 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.
CAUTION !
If the generator is on for more than a few minutes steam will start coming out
of the steamhead. 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 MrSteam 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 control against the wall u ntil the
adhesive sticks
