IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont.)
• Unawareness of impending risk
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Physical inability to exit the steambath
• Unconsciousness
IMPORTANT! Recommended feedwater quality should be: Hardness - less than 60 ppm (3.5 gpg); Total
Alkalinity - greater than 150 ppm (8.8 gpg). Calcium scale buildup from hard water can prevent proper
operation of the steam generator and may cause premature failure. To ensure proper operation, the
feedwater supply should be tested prior to operating the steam generator. If feedwater quality is not
within the specified limit, contact a reputable water treatment company for treatment options.
IMPORTANT! Maximum inlet water pressure is not to exceed 70 psi (483 kPa).
NOTICE: Use this unit only for its intended use as specified in this manual. DO NOT use attachments
not recommended by Kohler Co.
NOTICE: Do not apply excessive heat to the steam generator connections when you solder connections.
Do not apply flux or acids directly to the steam generator, as damage to the seals, plastic components, and
trim finish may result. Do not apply petroleum-based lubricants to the steam generator components, as
damage may result.
