Before Installing
Use the following information together with the consultation of your contractor, architect
or designer in determining all factors necessary in providing a suitable and safe steam
room.

Check that the supply voltage is suitable to your steam generator.

Ensure that the steam generator kilowatt corresponds to the volume of your steam
room. Refer to Technical Data (See page 12).

WARNING!
The voltage of the light output is 230VAC. Sawo
recommends to use less than 50V for the steam
room lightning. Use appropriate transformer
for lower voltages. Sawo is not responsible of
damages caused by using higher voltage inside
the steam room.

Steam Room Guidelines

1. The Steam Room must be fully enclosed, complete with walls, door, flooring and
ceiling.
2. Rubber linings (e.g. gaskets) are recommended for the door to effectively seal the
heat and the steam inside the Steam Room.
3. If tiles are used for the flooring or some other smooth surface material, provide
suitable anti-skid strips or rubberized mats to prevent slipping resulting to injury.
4. Materials used for the walls and ceiling should have water-resistant, non-corrosive
surfaces such as tiles, marbles, molded acrylic, or other non-porous materials. The
ceiling should be dome-shaped to prevent the dripping of condensate.
5. A drain must be provided in the flooring.
6. Heating, venting or air conditioning devices should not be installed inside the Steam
Room.
7. Steam Room windows should be double paned.
8. Limit the Steam Room ceiling to a height of 2,5 meters. Exceeding 2,5m will require
a higher-rated steam generator.
9. Floor drain for the steam generator must be available for maintenance.

Instructions of Use
There are three different operation modes in the unit: Off, On and Standby. The user can
easily switch between different modes, making the steam bathing more convenient with
less energy consumption.

To use steam room the control unit needs to be in the On mode. In the On mode, the
steamer is active, the temperature in the steam room will be kept in the preferred, set
temperature, with occasional discharge of steam.

However, if the steam room is not used constantly, the generator can be set to Standby
mode. The water in the tank is kept warm, with minimal energy usage. The generator is
able to produce steam shortly after the unit is switch back to On mode for the convenience
of the users or after Standby time expires. Room temperature is also kept warm during
Standby-mode. Setting for room temperature is from 30 to 55°C.

Session time
Session time can be set by jumpers on the STE board. See page 21 for further details.

Temperature
Room temperature can be set by turning thermo knob. Setting is from 30 - 55deg.C
maximum.

Remote switch
Remote ON input can be lathing switch or 230VAC input. Jumper 13 can disabled interface
and room temperature dependence if placed. The main board will only follow commands
from Remote ON switch, Remote ON AC, and demand button. And will follow default
setting for room temperature. This setting is intended for WET sauna application or
SAUNA heater and Steam Generator tandem.

If remote ON Switch is latched ON or Remote ON AC has HIGH input it will cause the
following:
• Can’t turn to state “OFF” using ON/OFF button.
• Unlimited Session time

Maintenance
1. Decalcification
Tap water contains impurities, for example lime, that can cause calcium deposit and
block the internal parts of the steam generator. To prevent this and prolong the lifetime
of steam generator it is recommended to have a water filter and water softener. They
are connected to the water source of the steam generator’s water inlet.

SAWO Decalcifying Solution can be used for decalcification. Follow these guidelines to
perform preventative maintenance of the steam generator.
STE with ECO Control:
WARNING! 1. Remove top cover and level probe. Before opening,
make sure that the generator is off. Use a flat head

10 ENGLISH
Steam Outlet
The steam must move in a continuous flow to the steam room. Do not install valves on
the steam line. Use insulated, rated 120ºC or higher, brass pipe or copper tubing for
steam line to connect to the steam head as permitted by codes (see table below). Slope
the steam line height by 20mm per meter towards the steam head to avoid trapping of
the condensate and eliminate steam trap that blocks the flow of the steam.
Steam Guard Overflow
The overflow safety guard activates when there is an overpressure in the steam line. It
automatically opens and releases the pressured steam. When this happens, please check
your steam line for servicing.
Steam Head
Place the steam head on a safe area where bathers cannot get in contact with it as it can
get very hot. It is recommended that the steam head must be facing downwards. A teflon
tape or equivalent needs to be used on the thread for tightening it. Avoid using a wrench
to tighten the steam head as it might get scratched.
Running the steam line down and then up will create
a “steam trap” blocking the flow of the steam.

 Troubleshooting
If an error occurs, the steam generator will be switched off. There will be a
warning beep to alarm the user every 2 seconds. The code for the error will be
displayed blinking on the STE board. See table below.

Please note, only a qualified electrician or maintenance personnel are allowed to

make the service operations and repairs!

If error happens in slave, by pressing on/off this problem slave will deactivate.

If error occurred in any of the master or slaves, only the four LED indicators on
the power controller board of damage board will blink, see table 15. The LED 1 of
other board will blink to indicate state “OFF”.

The activation and deactivation of master and slave can be set by the jumpers on
the power controller board of basic steam generator.
