IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
IMPORTANT! When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
WARNING: Risk of explosion. For dual steam generator installations, do not interconnect steam
outlets. A separate steam line must be provided for each steam outlet.
CAUTION: Risk of electrocution. Disconnect the electricity to the working area at the main
breaker panel before performing these installation steps.
CAUTION: Risk of injury. To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at all times.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
• The wet surfaces of steam enclosures may be slippery. Use care when entering or leaving.
• The steam head is hot. Do not touch the steam head and avoid the steam near the steam head.
• 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.
• Excessive temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy. Pregnant or possibly pregnant women should consult a physician regarding correct
exposure.
• 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.
• Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a steambath since some
medications may induce drowsiness while other medications may affect heart rate, blood pressure,
and circulation.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. If you become uncomfortable while taking a steambath, you
should turn off the unit. Cool off with the shower, open the door, or exit the unit.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. DO NOT consume alcoholic beverages or take
medications/drugs before or when using the steambath. Alcohol and drugs affect mental judgment,
greatly increase the risk of hyperthermia, and inhibit bodily functions such as heartbeat and
respiration, resulting in potentially dangerous effects.
WARNING: Risk of allergic reaction. Before adding any oils, aromatic therapies, or skin care
products to the aromatherapy well, make sure they will not cause an allergic reaction to the user.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury. Do not plumb a trapway in the steam line or plumb the
pressure relief valve into the steam line. Plumbing the pressure relief valve into the steam line can
be hazardous if the steam outlet is capped.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury or property damage. Avoid coming in contact with the water
tank and/or steam discharge line while the steam generator is operating or shortly after shutdown.
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when servicing the steam generator. The steam
generator operates at high temperatures.
CAUTION: Do not use for space heating purposes.
IMPORTANT! Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). The symptoms of hyperthermia include an
increase in the internal temperature of the body, dizziness, lethargy, drowsiness, and fainting. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
• Failure to perceive heat
• Failure to recognize the need to exit the steambath
