SECTION 1A: STEAM GENERATOR OVERVIEW
The standard K60 model steam generator control features an adjustable 60 minute time and tem- perature control with digital display. The actual room temperature and time remaining are alter- nately displayed every 5 seconds. The primary control can be mounted either inside or outside
the steam room and an optional secondary control is available to mount in an alternate location. The temperature can be adjusted in a range between 100 degrees and 125 degrees Fahrenheit with an initial default of 120 degrees. Once the set temperature is reached the ''soft
steam'' feature automatically engages cutting steam production back to a single element to provide softer billowing steam during more of the steam bath. If the steam room temperature drops more than 5 degrees both elements will automatically engage.
SECTION 1B: STEAM GENERATOR OVERVIEW - CELSIUS AND 24 HOUR OPTIONS
As an option your K60 control can be ordered with a Celsius and/or 24 hour timer in place of the Fahrenheit and 60 minute standard. The Celsius option's adjustable temperature range is be- tween 38 degrees and 52 degrees Celsius, with
an initial default of 49 degrees. The 24 hour timer option is adjustable in 1 hour increments from 1 to 24 hours. Other features of the K60 control should operate as described in section 2 below with the above noted exceptions.

5minutes. To shut down the generator press the ON/OFF button.
