Humidity - Philips SCD580 User Manual

7.6 Humidity

The optimal humidity level is between 40%
and 60%. It is very important to maintain the
correct humidity level as it helps to protect your
baby from irritation of the mucous membranes,
dry and itchy skin, chapped lips and a 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 its resistance to infections from
mould and bacteria. You can set a humidity range
and an alert to warn you that the humidity is
outside the set range.
