Steam room
The steam room must not have any other heat source than the
steam generator. The ambient temperature for the steam room
and steam generator must not exceed 35°C. Any other sauna ad-
jacent to the steam room must be well insulated with a minimum
of 10 cm ventilated space between them.
Location of steam generator
Installation must be carried out by an authorized electrician and
authorized plumber. The steam generator must be securely con-
nected. It is installed outside the steam room but as close to it as
possible. The maximum length of the steam pipe is 15 meters.
Lock the steam generator into place with the lock screw see
Figure 2b.
Take care to respect the specifi ed installation distances (Fig. 2a).
These have been defi ned to permit maintenance and servicing.

The steam generator is to be located in a dry and ventilated
space with drainage, above, below or on the same level as the
steam room. (Never directly above a drain, or into an aggressive
environment.) The maximum diff erence in height between the
steam generator and the steam room is 3 meters. (Fig. 3)
The steam generator must be installed horizontally, at such a
height above the fl oor so that the drainage pipe will have a good
fall to its drain.
Temperature cut-out
The steam generator is equipped with a built-in temperature cut-
out. If the cut-out has activated, fi nd and rectify the fault with the
aid of the fault tracing list in these instructions.
Floor and drain
There must be drainage inside the steam room. The fl oor should
slope down towards the drain. The fl ooring may be seamless
vinyl, quarry tiles, etc. The foundation work and jointing are to be
in the same manner as for a wet room.
Note! Where the fl ooring and walls are of plastic, beneath the
steam nozzle there may arise minor color changes from contact
with steam and hot water.
Ventilation
Generally steam rooms that are in use for periods of less than 2
hours do not need any ventilation. All steam rooms in continuous
use for more than 2 hours must have an air exchange rate of 10-
20 m³ air per person per hour, for hygienic and functional reasons.
Any cavity above the steam room ceiling should not be completely
sealed. Leave at least one vent hole (100cm²) on the same wall
as the steam room door.
Inlet vent
Must be an opening at a low level through the door wall or a gap
under the door.
