There is a boiler tank inside the steam generator that is equipped with several heating elements. In the boiling (steaming) cycle, first the tank fills up with water, then the heating elements will power up, and boils the water. Therefore it is crucial to monitor the start up procedure as follows in this section to make sure the heating elements do not energize before filling the tank. After the boiling cycle finished (at the time which is set by timer) the unit will go to cleaning cycle. In this cycle the unit will be filled with pressured water and drained repeatedly for ½ hour.

1. Boiling (steaming) Cycle
Note: Make sure all solenoid coils are properly installed on all external valves before proceeding with start up.

1. Turn on all water supplies and check for leaks.
2. Turn the timer that is mounted on the front of the unit to the OFF position.
  • For mechanical timer: Push the manual ON/OFF lever to OFF position.
  • For digital timer: Press the ENTER (OVERRIDE) button and verify the OFF sign shows up on the display.
3. Hook a clamp AMP Meter to L1 (red) and turn it on to monitor the amperage during the start up cycle. Turn the
    breaker and the Fuse Disconnector Switch to the ON position.
4. The amperage is less than 1 Amp. Steam valves will open. Check all steam valves for magnetic energy by using a
    non-magnetized wrench, screwdriver etc. and touching the top of each steam valve (where the clip holds the
    solenoid coil in place). If you feel a magnetic pull, the valves are open.
5. The thermostat display will start flashing.
6. Turn the unit “ON” at the Timer.
  • For mechanical timer: Push the manual ON/OFF lever to ON position.
  • For digital timer: Press the ENTER (OVERRIDE) button and verify the ON sign shows up on the display.
7. The amperage is less than 1 Amp.
8. You will hear a “click” sound inside the unit, which shows that water inlet solenoid is energized. Water will
    immediately enter unit through 1/4" inlet line. You can verify it by touching the ¼” line to feel the water flow.
    Depending on the water pressure, tank will fill within 2-5 minutes, and then it will stop.
9. Caution: Up to this point the amperage must always stay less than 1 Amp. If you noticed amperage higher than 1
    Amp, turn off the breaker immediately and call the manufacturer for further assistance.
10. After 10 seconds, you will hear a bigger “click” sound that indicates the contactors are engaged. The amperage
    will jump to the 1st stage or 2nd stage value, depending on your control options. Read your work order sheet to
    find the nominal current for your unit.
11. If you have optional controls such as 30-minute timer or in-room-touchtimer, turn them ON to elevate to the 2nd
    stage. You will notice that the amperage is even higher than the 1st stage.
12. Unit produces steam in 2 to 8 minutes depending on the kW of your unit and the distance between the unit &
    steam room. Allow the unit to produce steam for ½ hour and observe the temperature in the steam room and
    compare it with your thermostat set up. See the operating manual for further information.

1. Turn the 24h/7day timer OFF.
  • For mechanical timer: Push the manual ON/OFF lever to OFF position.
  • For digital timer: Press the ENTER (OVERRIDE) button and verify the OFF sign shows up on the display.
2. The drain valve is draining the water from the tank. The first drain is hot water and the other drains are cold water.
    You can check its function by touching the 1” drain line to feel the water flow.
3. The water inlet valve on ¼” line is filling the tank. You can check its function by touching the ¼” line to feel the
    water flow.
4. The power flush valve on ½” line is filling the tank. You can check its function by touching the ½” line to feel the
    water flow.
5. (Only for 2Rooms) The steam valves on top of the unit get engaged and disengaged. Use a non-magnetized
    wrench, screwdriver etc. and touch the top of each steam valve (where the clip holds the solenoid coil in place). If
    you feel a magnetic pull, the valves are open.
