A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY
• It is best to keep the humidity level at about 40%-50% of relative humidity .
• In cold weather, windows and even some walls may fog or develop frost from excessive indoor humidity .
If this occurs, reduce the mist output setting to avoid damage from condensed water dripping onto
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 reduce excessive humidity, especially in small rooms, leave the room door open and adjust the mist
intensity control setting .
