The K60 and KT60 controls provide automatic temperature control with AK steam generators.
These controls allow the user to set steam bath time and to adjust the bath operating temperature.
Note: For a temperature controlled steam bath, the AK generator requires either a KT60 with built
in temperature sensor or a K60 with separate temperature sensor. Another K60 may be added to
allow two controls for a steam bath, such as one inside the room and one outside, but if a KT60 is
installed it must be inside the steam room. A maximum of two controls may be installed.
1. Ensure that both the power circuit and water supply to the generator are ON.
2. To activate the steam, press the K60 (or KT60) control's On/Off switch. In 10 to 20 minutes
the room should be comfortable enough to begin taking a steam bath. The unit will turn off
automatically in 30 minutes. Note: other bath times and temperature may be set by the user.
3. Remove clothing and jewelry.
4. Enter the steam room and close the door to prevent steam from escaping.
5. Relax and enjoy the warm steam releasing tense muscles and refreshing the entire body. The
average time spent taking a steam bath is approximately 10 minutes
6. Pressing the control's on/off switch while the steam generator is operating will shut it off.
7. If your steam room has a shower, a pleasant experience can be achieved by taking a warm
shower while in the steam. You will nd the contrast from water to steam quite invigorating.
