Be sure to keep fireplace dampers closed when not in use . They provide
an excellent escape route for heat, as well as humidity .
On occasion, indoor moisture producing activities such as clothes drying,
cooking, showers, etc ., may raise the humidity level higher than it should
be, even though the humidifier is not operating . Telltale indications are
condensation or frost on cold surfaces such as windows, doors, walls,
etc . If such condensation persists for several hours, your home should be
ventilated to dissipate the potentially damaging excess moisture .
