SG-9, SG-14, SG-18, SG-23, SG-27, SG-36
1. STEAM GENERATOR LOCATION
The RELAX-A-MIST steam generator and its
controls must be located in a dry environment
preferably 3 feet above the floor. The steam
generator is approximately a 3 foot cube and
there should be a minimum clearance of 30
inches on each side, the back, the top and at
the front. There should be no more than 25
feet of steam pipe per steam line between the
generator and the steam nozzles. The steam
generator must be accessible for service and
maintenance. There must be a drain close by
into which the steam generator can be drained
on a daily basis. Preferably, the steam
generator and its thermostat controls will be in
a mechanical room adjacent to the steam
room. Install the steam unit on the Relax-A-
Mist metal stand (purchased separately) Ask
dealer for details. The steam unit must be
level. There are four 1/2" bolts holding the
shipping boards to the bottom of the steam
generator. The bolts are to be used for
leveling purposes once the shipping boards
have been removed.
Note: Do not install the steam generator on the
shipping
boards.

GENERAL
The commercial Relax-A-Mist
steam generator is designed specifically to
heat and steam areas for steam bath
purposes. The controls are all supplied (built-
in where feasible), including a digital 7 day, 24
hour time clock to start the steam operation in
the morning and stop it at night. An automation
option is built-in to allow the operation of
remote switching to replace the time clock
operation. The generator is designed to
operate continuously, or intermittently, as heat
and steam are required by the steam room
thermostats. The steam room thermostats
single temperature sensor is connected by a
factory supplied 25 foot wire.
These thermostats control 2 steam room
temperatures. One thermostat is LOW or
standby temperature and the other is for HIGH
or operating temperature. The low
temperature cycle is activated by the time
clock switching the steam unit on for its daily
operation. The high temperature cycle is
activated by an air switch button mounted on
the factory supplied plate light assembly.
Locate this button plate assembly inside or
outside the steam room and close to the door.
When a person wishes to steam bath, they
push the button activating the steam cycle for
30 minutes and the light illuminating indicates
the cycle has started. The button also turns
the cycle and light off should a person end
their steam bathing before the 30 minute cycle
is completed.
There is a built-in drain/flush system that
operates when either the time clock or the
remote switch turns the steam operation off.
At the start of the drain/flush operation, the
flush valve introduces a burst of water to the
interior of the steam generator to cool the
boiling water. Then the automatic motorized
drain valve opens followed by six separate 14
second flushes over a 20 minute period.
This is necessary as the only substance that
leaves the generator during a steam operation
is pure steam and all of the dissolved solids
carried in with the water remain in the steam
generator. During a 10 hour operational day,
the dissolved solids from approximately 30 to
90 gallons of water (depending on the boiling
tank size) are left in the approximate 2-1/2
gallons of water in the steam generator. If this
residue is not drained on a daily basis, the
resulting mineral buildup may hamper the
steam unit operation and void the warranty.
Note: See "WATER SUPPLY" on page 2 and
“CAUTION 6" on page 5.
