A NOTE ABOUT HUMIDITY
It is best to keep the humidity level at about
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.
