Your humidifier
SBC SC580
Philips is dedicated to producing caring, reliable products that new fathers
and mothers really need. Products whose reliability and operating quality
bring reassurance.Your SC580 humidifier helps to improve the air quality of
your baby’s room by adding moisture to the air to establish a comfortable
humidity level. A correct humidity level helps to protect your baby from
irritation of the mucous membranes, dry and itchy skin, chapped lips and
dry, sore throat.
When the mucous membranes do not function optimally they cannot give
your baby full protection from all kinds of germs.This increases the chance
of your baby catching a cold or the flu and reduces the baby’s resistance to
infection by mould and bacteria.
Relative humidity level
People need a certain level of humidity to feel comfortable.
Using a humidifier helps you to keep indoor humidity at a comfortable level.
A humidity level between 40 and 60 percent is recommended.
A humidity level below 30 percent can be dry and uncomfortable.
The hygrometer/thermometer supplied enables you to check humidity and
temperature at regular times.
The amount of water vapour in the air is usually less than is required to
saturate the air. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air
compared to the amount of water vapour the air can hold at the current
temperature.
Working principle of your SC580
Your SC580 humidifier uses an ultrasonic, high-frequency oscillator to break
up the water into tiny particles.The ventilation system blows out these
water particles (mist) into the dry air where they evaporate to ensure the
required humidity.The great advantage of the ultrasonic technique is that it
operates extremely silently without affecting the room temperature or
steaming up windows, walls or furniture.
Your humidifier holds about 2 litres of water in the tank and produces up to
250 ml of moisture per hour,depending on the room humidity and
temperature.
