ENEFITS OF HUMIDIFICATION
Optimal indoor air humidity should be 50 –
55%. Particularly during the heating period,
humidity is often
recommended level. This is due to heat-
insulated walls and windows which only
allow minimum exchange of outside and
inside air. Natural regulation of humidity
through 'ventilation by opening windows
and doors' is discouraged by high heating
costs, windows that cannot be opened and
inclement weather conditions.
As air 'seeks' a specific ideal humidity
content, it is advisable to provide air with
artificial humidity. This can help prevent air
from drawing its humidity from other
sources such as plants, furniture, paper
and also from human skin and mucous
membrane.
In concrete terms, artificial air humidi-
fication can help prevent the following
health problems which may occur as a
result of a reduced oxygen supply.
Tension, tiredness, poor concentration
Susceptibility to infections, coughs and
sneezes
Dry skin, eczema from skin drying out

Properly dosed artificial air humidification
also binds dust and prevents drying
damage to equipment (wood, paper, etc.),
musical instruments and plants.
You can measure your room humidity with
a humidistat. Humidity depends on room
temperature:
18°C corresponds to a relative humidity of 50 %
20°C corresponds to a relative humidity of 45 %
22°C corresponds to a relative humidity of 40 %
It is advisable to start operating the
humidifier right at the start of the heating
period. The existing humidity inside the
room and in the furniture can then be kept
constant. During the first few weeks of the
heating period, the appliance should be
used in such a way that you achieve at
least 50%
Note that with this humidifier, it also
possible to over-humidify the room, e.g. if
you operate the appliance at a high
setting
the humidity that is generated cannot
escape from the room
the air is already very humid
It is best to check humidity with a
hygrostat.
