CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not apply excessive heat to the generator connections when
soldering. Do not apply flux or acids directly to the generator, as damage to the seals, plastic
components, and trim finish may result. Do not apply petroleum-based lubricants to the generator
components as damage may result.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not plumb a trap in the steam line or plumb the pressure
relief valve into the steam line. Plumbing the pressure relief valve into the steam line can be hazardous
if the steam outlet is capped.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury or property damage. Do not direct the pressure relief valve to the
enclosure. In the event the pressure relief valve activates, the hot water may spray causing burns the
user and/or damage the enclosure. Therefore, the pressure relief valve should be directed to an area
where damage will not occur from contact with hot water and conform to national and local plumbing
codes.
Connect a tee to the existing cold water line.
Install the brass shut-off valve to the tee.
IMPORTANT! The in-line water filter (recommended) must be installed between the brass shut-off valve
and the steam generator inlet.
If applicable, install the recommended in-line water filter to the brass shut-off valve.
Install a copper pipe from the in-line water filter (if applicable) or the brass shut-off valve to the
inlet on the steam generator.
Connect the pressure relief valve to the drain line. The drain line should meet all applicable codes.
Flush the water line into a large pail to remove any silt or other materials that may be in the line.
Make sure the drain is in the closed position.
Make the final connection.
NOTE: All Kohler steam generators are equipped with an automatic water fill system. The water will stop
after the unit is full.
Turn on the water to fill the unit.
If the steam outlet piping run exceeds 10' (3 m) or is exposed to cold areas, insulate the piping with
steam rated insulation.
