Tools and Materials

Before You Begin

IMPORTANT! When using this unit, basic precautions should always be followed.

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. A steam bath can put undue stress on the body, as does any

hot bath, shower, or sauna. Therefore, the 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.

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. The steam generator is not designed to be used by

children. Do not allow children to use this unit unless they are closely supervised at all times.

WARNING: Risk of scalding. Do not block the steam head or locate it near a seat or bench, as the

steam head is hot during operation and may scald the user if touched.

DANGER: Risk of electrocution. Disconnect the electricity to the working area at the main breaker

panel before performing these installation steps.

WARNING: Risk of property damage. There should be a minimum of 12″(30.5 cm) of air space

around the steam generator at all times. This provides an area for the heat generated by the unit to

dissipate.

IMPORTANT! Use this unit only for its intended use as speciﬁed in this manual. DO NOT use

attachments not recommended by Kohler Co.

Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes. All electrical work should be done by a licensed

electrician.

Do not install a GFCI to this unit. This will prevent nuisance tripping.

Disconnect all power before making any electrical connections.

Steam Hardware Locations

Modules (Single Steam Head)

WARNING: Risk of scalding. Do not locate the steam head near a seat or bench, as the steam head

is hot during operation and may scald the user if touched.

IMPORTANT! It is recommended to locate the control kit and steam head on the same wall as the

plumbing controls. For optimum performance, do not locate the control kit directly above the steam head.

Locate the steam head 6″(15.2 cm) above the ﬂoor and a minimum of 4-1/2″(11.4 cm) from the threshold.

The steam head should always be located as far away from the seating area as possible.

3. Install the Steam Head(s)

WARNING: Risk of scalding. Do not locate the steam head near a seat or bench, as the steam head

is hot during operation and may scald the user if touched.

IMPORTANT! Do not obstruct the steam head with shut-off valves, plugs, or caps.

NOTE: The steam housing can be adjusted for a wall thickness of 3/16″(5 mm) to 1-1/2″(3.8 cm) using

the adjustment screws located on the steam head housing.

Position the gasket (provided) around the base of the steam housing so the gasket is between the

wall and the lip of the steam housing.

Turn the adjustment screws on the steam housing until the distance between the back edge of the

steam housing and the head of each adjustment screw is equal to the wall thickness.

Tighten the adjustment screws securely. Do not overtighten.

Secure the steam housing to the wall by carefully tightening the hold-down screws.

Thread the steam head clockwise onto the steam housing assembly until it is hand-tight.

4. Install the Steam Control

IMPORTANT! Do not locate the control kit directly above the steam outlet.

Make sure that the power is turned off at the main breaker panel before proceeding.

Locate the control pad on the wall 60″(152.4 cm) up from the ﬂoor.

At the selected location, drill a hole 1-1/4″(3.2 cm) in diameter.

IMPORTANT! Do not pinch, nail, wedge, or use undue force when handling the control connector and the

control pad wire. Any damage may result in control kit failure. If the control pad is not installed

immediately, protect the control connector with tape or other shielding material.

IMPORTANT! When installing the control kit, allow room in the control cable for a drip loop. The drip

loop will discourage moisture from following the control cable to the steam generator.

Pull the control connector from the steam generator through the drilled hole.

Carefully plug the control connector to the control pad wire using the double-end female connector

(provided).

Restore the power at the main breaker panel.

Turn on both water and power to the generator.

Test the control pad to ensure it is functioning properly. Refer to the ″Using the Control Pad″

section.

Remove the adhesive backing from the back of the control pad.

Apply a continuous bead of silicone sealant around the back edge of the control pad and around the

perimeter of the adhesive area.

Press the control pad ﬁrmly onto the wall.

Apply a bead of silicone sealant around the outside edge of the control pad.

Allow the silicone sealant to cure for 24 hours before use.
