Congratulations!
Congratulations on choosing the evaporator BONECO
V2231!
General information
Did you know that dry room air:
• Dries out the mucous membranes, and also causes
chapped lips and stinging eyes?
• Encourages infections and illnesses of the respiratory
system?
• Causes weariness, tiredness and poor concentration?
• Stresses household pets and house plants?
• Encourages the formation of dust and the electrostatic
charging of textiles made of synthetic fibers, as well as
carpets and plastic flooring?
• Damages wooden furniture and especially parquet
floors?
• Causes musical instruments to go out of tune?
A comfortable indoor atmosphere is achieved at a relative
humidity of between 40 and 60%. Air humidification is es-
pecially sensible in winter, but does not replace the regular
airing of living spaces.
