DO NOT touch the steam head and avoid the steam near the steam head. 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.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
WATER QUALITY INFORMATION
For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior to installation.
If the mineral content exceeds the following recommended limits, various
external treatment processes are recommended to correct the problem.
An analysis of the on-site water must be made by a recognized and reliable
water treatment company to ascertain the existing condition and treatment
required.
Poor water quality can affect efficiency or result in steam generator damage.
Water contains impurities in solution and suspension. These impurities
concentrate in the generator. The concentration of these impurities increases
as more feedwater is introduced into the generator and steam is produced. If
the suspended solids are allowed to concentrate beyond certain limits, a
deposit or “scale” will form on the generator internal surfaces. This deposit
can interfere with the proper generator operation and cause generator failure.
The concentration of these impurities is generally controlled by the water
quality and by periodic draining of the generator.
RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER QUALITY
Hardness, ppm 8 85 (~0.5 5 gpg) P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 410 (~5 24 gpg)
T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 500 (~7 0 gpg) pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0
11.4
Every 2 months, or more often in “hard” water areas, the manual drain valve
should be opened fully flushing out accumulated materials, salts and other
particles which are natural by-products of boiling water. The optional
AutoFlush System feature automatically drains the MrSteam® generator following
each use. A time delay allows the water to cool down (about two hours) before
it drains by gravity for a safe and gentle operation.
LOCATING THE STEAM GENERATOR
Select a location as near as practical to the steam room.
Typical locations include: closet, vanity cabinet, heated attic or basement.
The standard length of the cable for connecting the control to the steam generator is 30 feet. The steam generator and control must be located accordingly. A 60 foot cable is available as a special order part for iTempo® and AirTempo®, PN 103990-60 and PN 104117-60 for iSteam®. The maximum cable length is 60 feet. IMPORTANT NOTE: The control cable should be run in a dedicated 1″ conduit to facilitate installation and service.
DO NOT route iSteam, AirTempo, iTempo/Plus, iTempo, HomeWizard or iGenie control wiring inside conduit together with power lines or close to hot water or steam piping. Doing so may result in an inoperative or hazardous installation.

line upstream of the steambath generator. 3. DO NOT overheat inlet solenoid
valve with solder connections. Overheating will damage parts. 4. Flush inlet
water line thoroughly before making connection to unit. 5. Strainer
recommended upstream of feed water connection. 6. In order to reduce operating
noise, reducing feed water pressure to between 15 – 20 psi is recommended.
Optional pressure reducing valve part number 104198. 7. Provide anti-water
hammer device as required. 8. Install an approved backflow preventer as
required by local codes.
DRAIN (1/2″ NPT)
Failure to pitch the steam piping as required for condensate to drain, may
cause condensate to block the flow of steam. Blocking the steam flow may cause
steam pressure to discharge boiling water through the steamhead, resulting in
a scalding hazard. Blocking the flow of steam may cause steam to discharge
through the safety valve, resulting in a scalding hazard.
A 1.5″ hole in the steam room is required to mount the steamhead. For Linear
steamhead, please refer to the installation instructions.
The drain from the generator should not share an under sink trap, unless the
generator is mounted higher than the sink to prevent damage to the generator
if the drain backs up.
A drain valve is provided to facilitate servicing. Provide a drain line
connection from steambath generator drain valve according to National and
local Codes. Check local plumbing code for receptor, trap and vent
requirements. DO NOT connect Drain line and Safety Valve line together. Unit
drains by gravity.
DO NOT plumb the generator drain and condensation pan drain together in such a
way that will cause drain water to back into condensation pan. DO NOT drain
into a steam enclosure or any location where accidental contact with drain
water may occur. In the event of a power failure the AutoFlush System valve
will open and may discharge boiling water causing a scalding hazard.
SAFETY VALVE (3/4″ NPT)
Where permitted by local codes, provide an outlet plumbing connection for
safety valve.
To insure proper and automatic safety valve operation: DO NOT connect a shut
off valve or a plug at safety valve outlet. DO NOT connect a shut off valve or
any obstruction in steam supply pipe. DO NOT connect the safety-valve output
into the steam piping.
CONDENSATION PAN
MrSteam strongly recommends the use of a condensation pan in the unlikely
event of a plumbing leak. Check local plumbing codes for receptor, trap and
vent requirements. Condensation pans drain by gravity. The condensation pan is
equipped with an integral 3/4″ fitting. See page 17 for additional
condensation pan installation information.
Do not plumb the generator drain and condensation pan drain together in such a
way that will cause drain water to back into condensation pan.
DO NOT connect the drain valve to the steam piping.

INSTALLING THE ROUND OR SQUARE AROMASTEAM STEAMHEAD (1/2″ NPT)
A 1 1/2″ clearance hole around the steam pipe is needed to mount the
steamhead.
Use Teflon® or equal sealant on
pipe threads
STEP 1
Steam Piping
Locate steam head 6-12 inches above floor, except for:
1. Tub/shower enclosures, install 6 inches above tub top edge.

moisture seal.
3.To prevent door seals from deteriorating do not locate the steam
head where direct steam emission would contact door seals.
Oil Well
4. To reduce noise, do not locate steamhead within 12″ from a wall.
STEP 2 Install steamhead with the oil well facing up as shown. Hand tightening is sufficient when teflon or equal pipe thread sealing compound is used.
STEP 3
STEP 3 Secure a bronze drop ear fitting to a header and run 1/2″ copper steam piping from the steam generator to the drop ear fitting. Install a temporary nipple (6″ or longer) in the drop ear fitting to locate the steamhead after the wall is finished.
STEP 4 After the wall has been finished, mark on the nipple where the surface
of the wall is. Remove the nipple and measure the portion that was in the wall
(the end to your mark). Subtract 1/4″ from that dimension and select a brass
nipple of that length to finish the installation.
STEP 5 Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the new nipple and screw the
nipple into the steamhead. Do not use wrenches or tools which would damage the
steamhead’s finish. Wrap teflon tape around the threads of the nipple and
screw the nipple and steamhead assembly you just made into the drop ear
fitting in the wall. The steamhead should be flush with the wall and the well
must be facing up.
STEP 4
1/8″ minimum clearance required when Acrylic Shield is used. See installation
instructions provided with the Acrylic Shield.
End of pipe to be recessed 1/4″ (without Acrylic Shield) 1/8″ (with Acrylic
Shield)
Drop Ear Fitting
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT disassemble steamhead. MrSteam’s steamhead is shipped
fully assembled and requires no additional assembly. To preserve steam head
finish, DO NOT use wrench or other tools to tighten. DO NOT use abrasive
cleansers or chemicals. Use only water with mild soap and a non-abrasive
sponge.
Because the steam head and direct steam emissions are very hot, locate the
steam head where incidental contact by bather with the steam head or direct
steam emission cannot occur.
Consult with supplier of acrylic, fiberglass and other non-heat resistant
enclosures for recommended steamhead location. Use Acrylic Shield PN 103938
(round) or PN 103938SQ (square). See instructions provided with steam shield.

OPTIONAL AUTOFLUSH®
Box Contents AutoFlush Valve with Cord Installation Instructions
OPERATION The optional AutoFlush System feature automatically drains the
MrSteam generator following each use. A time delay allows the water to cool
down (about two hours) before it drains by gravity for a safe and gentle
operation.
If the Express Steam® option has been installed, the AutoFlush will drain for
ten minutes then refill with fresh water to begin the pre-heat cycle.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plumbing to be performed by a qualified plumber and shall be in accordance
with applicable national and local codes. Unit drains by gravity. A drain line
that is lower than the AutoFlush® assembly must be available. The AutoFlush
System valve outlet is 1/2″ NPT. Check plumbing code for receptor, trap and
vent requirements.
2. Use copper or brass nipple 1/2″ NPT x 31/2″ or longer (not supplied) to
connect AutoFlush valve to the Drain Valve (follow arrow on AutoFlush valve
for flow direction, arrow should point away from generator’s drain valve).
DO NOT REMOVE THE DRAIN VALVE Removal may cause equipment and property damage.
If there is not enough room for the valve, an elbow and a short nipple (not
provided) can be added.
3. Open Drain Valve (handle must be aligned with brass nipple).
4. Connect the AutoFlush System cord connector to the three pin connector as
shown.
5. The AutoFlush valve must be installed within the orientation range shown.
DO NOT drain into a steam enclosure or any location where accidental contact
with drain water may occur. In the event of a power failure the AutoFlush
System valve will open and may discharge boiling water causing a scalding
hazard.
SWEAT FITTINGS When using sweat fittings use only tin base solder with a
melting
point below 600 degrees F. DO NOT overheat. Ends of water supply tubing must
be thoroughly clean for a minimum distance of 1″ from ends. DO NOT remove
valve cover.
TO CHECK OPERATION 1. Turn on MrSteam and allow tank to fill with water. 2.
Turn off MrSteam control. Water should stay in tank. 3. Turn off power at the
panel box. Water should discharge from
tank. 4. Turn on power at panel box. 5. Repeat

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 steam head and avoid the
steam near the steam head.
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 faint-ing. 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.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of
hyperthermia.

Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
SETTING THE STEAM BATH TEMPERATURE AND DURATION
Set the steam bathing temperature according to personal preference, however it
is highly recommended to begin steam bathing at a low temperature setting to
gauge comfort and safety levels. Set duration to a maximum of 10 minutes to
gauge comfort and safety levels. This will allow the steam generator to heat
up and begin producing steam.
SAFETY AND OPERATING INFORMATION
DO NOT install or use any iSteam®, AirTempo®, iTempo/Plus®, iTempo®,
HomeWizard® or iGenie® controls without reading and understanding the MrSteam
steam generator Installation and Operation Manual. Failure to read and
understand these instructions may result in an inoperative or hazardous
installation.
The peel and stick warning sticker located in this manual must be read and
permanently affixed in a conspicuous location near the steam room. Failure to
read and affix this warning sticker in a conspicuous location may result in
serious injury or death.
If an iSteam, AirTempo, iTempo or iTempo/Plus control is installed outside the
steam room a Remote Temperature Probe (PN MSTS) must be installed inside the
steam room per-installation instructions supplied with the Remote Temperature
Probe. Failure to install according to instructions will result in an
inoperative control and overheating of the steam room.
To prevent slip and fall hazards nonskip strips must be installed on the steam
room floor. DO NOT alter or modify any MrSteam product. Doing so may result in
an inoperative or hazardous installation and will void the UL listing and
warranty.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Malfunction due to power spikes, lightning, fire, freezing or
flooding is not covered under the warranty.
Discontinue use of the steam generator or control if the steam generator is
damaged or otherwise not functioning properly. Doing so may result in an
inoperative or hazardous condition.
CARE TIPS FOR ALL CONTROLS AND STEAMHEADS
1. Use only mild soap and water on a soft cloth to clean the control and
steamhead. 2. DO NOT use abrasive cleansers. 3. If the decorative cover is
damaged on the iTempo or iTempo/Plus call MrSteam technical service for
replacement parts.
Replacement of the decorative covers requires removal and reinstallation of
the control from the mounting surfaces.
STEAM GENERATOR MAINTENANCE
MrSteam steambath generators require little maintenance. Other than periodic
draining, maintenance procedures are minimal. Every 2 months, or more often in
“hard” water areas, the manual drain valve should be opened fully flushing out
accumulated materials, salts and other particles which are natural byproducts
of boiling water.
Flush a minimum of two-three hours after the control has been turned off to
insure that the water has cooled.
Draining immediately after a steam cycle may expose PVC and other piping to
high temperature water. Check local codes. The unit will refill automatically
when the control is activated again. In areas of hard water, a MrSteam
AutoFlush® system is recommended for generator longevity.
Failure to allow the water to cool will expose the equipment and user to
scalding water and cause property and personal injury.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The model and serial number is printed on the data plate on
the front of the steam bath generator.
