STEAM GENERATOR START UP
The following instructions are for the Quick Touch Timer. If you have installed the Time And Temperature
Control with remote or an alternate control, refer to their start up instructions now.
1.
To start, make sure the electrical supply and the water supply are both in the OFF position. Make sure that all
plumbing and electrical connections are correct.
2.
If the drain option is used with a manual shut off, ensure it is in the
closed position
.
3.
Turn on the water supply to the steam generator. No water will enter the unit, as the electricity is still off at this point.
4.
Turn on the electrical supply to the steam generator.
5.
The display on the Quick Touch Timer has two horizontal bars illuminated. Press the “on/off” button on the Quick
Touch Timer. The display will read “30" minutes. This will energize the contactor coil which will sound an audible
“click” as the contacts close and will in turn energize the water level device. The water entering the appliance will be
audible in the form of several short “spurts” of water, and will stop when the operating water level has been achieved.
If the unit shuts off before water fill is complete, press the “off” (“on/off”) button at the Quick Touch Timer and then
press the “on” (“on/off”) button again to restart the cycle to complete the filling.

Approximately 2 minutes from energizing the Relax-A-Mist, steam will be entering the steam room.
Scalding Caution:
When the generator is first turned on, there may be an initial burst of hot water from the steam nozzles until the steam
lines have come up to temperature. After the steam room has heated to a satisfactory temperature, adjust the Timer
Control display by pressing the “up” or “down” arrows to increase or decrease the length of time desired for a steam
bath.

Leave these Installation Instructions at the steam generator or with the home owner. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!
