USER MANUAL LF4705 TRISTAR

1.1 Intended Purpose

Young children commonly get about 6-8 colds and upper respiratory tract infections each year. Increasing the air moisture is a common way to help your child feel better when he is congested. One thing that makes winter uncomfortable for humans, even inside a nice warm building, is low humidity. People need a certain level of humidity to be comfortable. In the winter, indoor humidity can be extremely low and the lack of humidity can dry out your skin and mucous membranes. Low humidity also makes the air feel colder than it actually is. Dry air can also dry out the wood in the walls and floors of our houses. As the drying wood shrinks, it can cause creaks in floors and cracks in drywall and plaster. People tend to feel most comfortable at a relative humidity of about 45 percent. The Multifunctional Humidifier LF-4705 will help to keep indoor humidity at a comfortable level. This humidifier has a pre-heating function of the water to eliminate bacteria and viruses.
