3. When re-filling is complete (water feed solenoid valve
de-energizes and water is visible to half-way level in gauge
glass), turn off generator unless further operation is
required.
4. If you have been supplied with a manual reset low water
control, as required by some states, the reset button on
the control must be reset before unit will begin developing
pressure.
Do not push reset until unit has filled with water.
5. More frequent blowdowns may be required in area with
hard water or excessive usage. Please consult with factory.
To provide for safe and low temperature blow-
down, and to comply with National and local plumbing and
building Codes, it may be necessary to blowdown into an
ASME Code blow-down separator tank, or to take other pre-
cautions to prevent damage to building drain plumbing.
Consult with a licensed plumber.
NOTE: ASME blowdown separator tank systems are avail-
able from Mr. Steam. For more information please contact
Mr. Steam at 1-800-76 STEAM.

control is provided with an adjustable temperature
range. The Digital 1 control will cycle automatically to
maintain the room operating temperature selected by
the owner/operator at the sensor at the set point tem-
perature.
4. If not supplied with an automatic blowdown system, the
generator must be blown manually down daily in accor-
dance with manual blowdown instructions below. See
below. An optional automatic blow-down assembly is
recommended for daily maintenance.
To provide for safe and low temperature
blowdown, and to comply with National and local plumb-
ing and building Codes, it may be necessary to blowdown
into an ASME Code blow-down separator tank, or to take
other precautions to prevent damage to building drain
plumbing. Consult with a licensed plumber.

AUTOMATIC BLOWDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Automatic Blowdown Systems drain the steambath
generator every 24 hours (or more often if required or
desired). It also turns the generator "ON" and "OFF".
Blowdown occurs after the timer is “ON” and the gen-
erator is “OFF”. The blowdown pilot light is energized
during blow-down. To set the timer, refer to instructions
on page 27.
Use of chemical cleaning compounds
voids warranty.
MANUAL BLOWDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Blowdown is an essential part of operation. It is an excel-
lent preventative maintenance procedure and will pro-
long steambath generator operation. Insure the following
recommended blowdown schedule is established and
followed daily:
1. If blowdown is conducted manually, at the end of each
working day while unit is still operating,
turn ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position and close
water supply valve. De-energize wall-mounted safety
switch. Open blowdown valve(s) SLOWLY.
IMPORTANT: Pressure may still be in the generator.
2. Discharge is complete when gauge glass shows no
water. Unit has been effectively drained. Follow this
procedure:
a. Fully close the blowdown valve
b. Fully open water supply
c. Put ON/OFF switch in the "ON" position
d. Close wall-mounted safety switch
OPERATION
With all power disconnected at main
switch, insure all electrical and mechanical connec-
tions are tight before energizing unit to prevent
e
lectrical problems and mechanical leaks.
1. Turn on water and electrical supply, power and con-
trol voltage suppliers. Turn unit switch to ON posi-
tion;
Switch light will go ON and water level will reach
operating level automatically.
2. When proper operating level is reached (approxi-
mately half way up the gauge glass), the heating ele-
ment(s) will be energized. In approximately 20 min-
utes, steam will begin to be produced.
3. Adjust the Digital 1 operating temperature control to
the desired steam room setting at the sensor
