Frequently asked questions
Q. Why is the air moisture too low in my room?
A. How often do you use the unit? If the unit is only
in operation at night, the air moisture decreases
during the day as moisture is not being added to
the air constantly.
Wood, leather, carpeting, curtains and other
materials absorb a lot of moisture, resulting in
a decrease in air moisture.
If the window is open, moisture can escape
from the room.
A common reason is that the unit is placed next
to a heater in order to disperse the moisture
quickly throughout the room with the hot air.
However, this does not work. The escaping hot
air absorbs the majority of the moisture before
reaching the room air at all.
Q. Should I leave my door open or closed while
the unit is in operation?
A. With an open door, the moisture escapes the
room and disperses itself in other areas of the
house. If you want to increase the air moisture
in a certain room, you should make sure that
the door to that room remains closed while the
unit is in operation.
Q. How high should the air moisture be in my
room?
A. Air moisture of 40–60 % is recommended.
Q. What are the consequences of too low or too
high air moisture?
A. Dry air can lead to dry skin, electrostatic charg-
es, out of tune musical instruments, increased
dust development, damage to wooden items
(drying out and cracking), illness, disease and
drying out the nasal mucous membranes. Too
high air moisture can result in mold develop-
ment and wall paper falling off.
Q. Why do I need an Evaporator if I could also
simply open the window?
A. The air moisture in the outside air is not high
enough to moisturize a room.
Q. Where should I place my Evaporator?
A. The unit should be placed in the middle of the
room and not at a wall, a window, a door or
a thermal bridge so that the air can circulate
freely around the unit.
Q. Can I clean the water base in the dishwash-
er?
A. No, you cannot clean the water base in the
dishwasher as it would otherwise melt.
General information about air
humidification
Did you know that air that is too dry
• dries out mucous membranes and additionally
causes chapped lips and stinging eyes?
• promotes infections and sicknesses of the respi-
ratory passages?
• leads to a lack of energy, exhaustion and concen-
tration weakness?
• burdens pets and room plants?
• encourages dust development and the electro-
static charge of synthetic textiles, carpets and
synthetic flooring?
• damages wooden fixtures, especially hardwood
floors?
• puts musical instruments out of tune?
The physical comfort of man and animal is depen-
dent on many influences. One of those is correctly
humidified air. During the heating period, the cold
outside area which streams into living spaces
through the windows is warmed. This results in a
plummet in the relative air moisture. An adverse
climate for plants and animals, wooden objects and
furniture dry out and people feel uncomfortable and
are susceptible to colds in higher numbers. As a
rule, room climate is comfortable when the relative
moisture is between 40 % and 60 %. Air humidifica-
tion is especially useful in the winter.
