Before You Begin

IMPORTANT! When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed.
DANGER: Risk of electrocution. Disconnect the electricity to the working area at the main breaker
panel before performing these installation steps.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. If you become uncomfortable while taking a steam bath, you
should power off the unit. Cool off with the shower, open the door, or exit the unit.
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.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. This steam bath may not be suitable for use if you are
pregnant, have a heart condition, have high blood pressure, have circulatory problems, are under
the influence of alcohol, are taking drugs or are under the care of a physician. A steam bath can put
undue stress on the body, as does any hot bath, shower, or sauna.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. DO NOT consume alcoholic beverages or take
medications/drugs prior to or when using the steam bath. Alcohol and drugs affect mental
judgement and inhibit bodily functions such as heartbeat and respiration, resulting in potentially
dangerous effects.
WARNING: Risk of injury to children. Do not allow children to use this unit unless they are
closely supervised at all times. The steam generator is not designed to be used by children.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not plumb a trap 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.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury or property damage. Avoid coming in contact with the water
tank and/or steam discharge line while the 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.
NOTICE: Use this unit only for its intended use as specified in this manual. DO NOT use attachments not
recommended by Kohler Co.
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat to the generator connections when you solder connections. Do not
apply flux or acids directly to the generator, as damage to the seals, plastic components, and trim finish
may result. Do not apply petroleum-based lubricants to the generator components, as damage may result.
