1. Getting to know your device

Humans spend a large proportion of their time indoors. For ideal ambient air, a relative humidity level of between 40% and 60% is recommended. This value is often not reached, particularly in winter, when cold, dry air enters living spaces that are being aired and is then warmed up. This dry ambient air draws in moisture, drying out mucous membranes and skin, but also furniture. Ambient air that is too dry has a number of negative effects:

ucous membranes and lips dry out.

yes become irritated.

nfections and respiratory diseases are more likely to occur.

xhaustion, tiredness and difficulty concentrating.

ets and plants are put under unnecessary strain.
