Install The Main Unit - Kohler K-1696 Installation Manual

2. Install the Main Unit

WARNING: Risk of property damage. There should be a minimum of 12" (30.5 cm) of air space
around the steam generator at all times. This provides an area for the heat generated by the unit to
dissipate.
WARNING: Risk of personal injury. Do not plumb a trap or 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.
IMPORTANT! For optimum performance, install the steam generator below the level of the steam head
and as close as possible to the steam head. The unit should be installed within 25 ft (7.62 m) of the steam
head in a dry, well-ventilated area.
Install the desired drain/spill pan under the unit.
We recommend that the pressure relief valve be connected to a drain line. The drain line should
meet all applicable codes.
Attach the water supply line to the water inlet.
