Use and Care for Humidifiers

Adjust the mist control so that the mist rises up and gets absorbed by the room air. Do not turn on too high an output as the mist cannot be absorbed by the air and accumulates on the surface around the humidifier.

If the humidifier is placed near a fan or air conditioning outlet the mist may be forced down by the foreign air stream. Change the location of the humidifier or reduce the output of the other room conditioning appliances.

A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY

It is best to keep the humidity level at about 30-50 percent of relative humidity.

The comfort level of humidity will vary from room to room and with changing room conditions.

In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from excessive indoor humidity. If this occurs, reduce the mist intensity setting to avoid damage from condensed water dripping on windowsills.

Too much humidity in the room may allow moisture to accumulate on surfaces where bacteria and fungi can grow. Moisture that gathers may also damage furniture and walls, especially wallpaper.

To eliminate excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust the mist intensity control setting.
