Instructions for Use and Installation Helo Steam
Testing the water before using the steam generator.
The water test kit supplied with the steam generator includes test slips which are used to determine water hardness
as follows:
Dip the test slip in water for about 1 second, take it out and shake off the excess water. After a minute, compare the
colour code appearing on the test slip with the code key in the packet.
Test result: °f = French degrees, °dH = German degrees
(  3° dH )
< 5° f
> 7° f ( > 4° dH )
> 12° f ( > 7° dH )
> 25° f ( > 14° dH ) Hard water. Install descaling device. Retest the water hardness.
> 37° f ( > 21° dH ) Very hard water. Install descaling device. Retest the water hardness.
See page 6 for steam generator's operation time in hours before descaling is required.
The steam generator must be placed away from water and moisture (dry room). The room must be airy as the unit
also produces heat. The temperature of the space where the steam generator is located must not exceed 35 °C. We
recommend leaving at least 300 mm of free space to the sides and above the steam generation unit. Adequate space
for maintenance should also be planned for when placing the unit. There should be a drain nearby for draining the
tank.
The steam generator can be installed as a freestanding unit or installed on the wall using wall fittings. When using
wall fittings, ensure you use appropriate fittings and screws for the type of construction material of your walls. The
steam generator weighs about 18 kg when filled with water.
When the automatic drain valve is used, it is recommended you use wall installation to ensure a suitable angle for
draining water.

Installing the control panel
The control panel of the Helo Steam unit is installed outside the steam room.
The cable of the control panel can be extended with a similar cable.
Steam nozzle / nozzles are fitted approximately 200–400 mm from the floor underneath a bench or a seat, or onto
the wall so that the hot steam cannot burn anyone's feet. The steam nozzles are aimed towards the floor. When the
nozzles are installed, you must ensure that you place them somewhere where nobody can accidentally touch them.
The steam temperature is +100 °C and it can cause injuries on contact.
If children or people with impaired reflexes use the steam room, the steam nozzle must be fitted with a protector that
prevents people from getting into the hot steam shower.
