WARNING: Risk of personal injury or property damage. The steam generator operates at high
temperatures. Avoid coming in contact with the water tank and/or steam discharge line while the
generator is operating or shortly after shutdown. Wear eye protection and protective clothing when
servicing the steam generator.
IMPORTANT! Use this unit only for its intended use as specified in this manual. DO NOT use
attachments not recommended by Kohler Co.
IMPORTANT! Do not apply excessive heat to the generator connections when you solder connections. 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.
Follow all local plumbing and electrical codes. All electrical work should be done by a licensed
electrician.
Do not install a GFCI to this unit. This will prevent nuisance tripping.
Disconnect all power before making any electrical connections.
Connect the steam generator to water supply lines that meet all applicable plumbing codes. Use of
supply lines that do not meet code may void the warranty.
For custom installations, locate the steam head 6" (15.2 cm) from the floor and 4-1/2" (11.4 cm) from
the inside of the threshold.
