In automatic mode you will receive the optimum
amount of humidity so that your home and its
furnishings are protected from the damaging effects
of excess condensation or low humidity during heating
season . The control automatically adjusts your home's
RH based on the outdoor temperature .
The humidity setting needs to be set initially to
meet your home's conditions. Please follow these
steps when adjusting your control .
1 . Adjust the humidity setting to "3" which is within
normal range . During the next 24-48 hours it may
be necessary to adjust the setting for more or less
humidity, depending on your personal comfort and
home's requirements .
2 . During the coldest portion of the first heating
season, minor adjustments may be necessary . This is
dependent upon your home's construction .
The relative humidity in your home will now be
accurately controlled to meet your needs and should not
need further adjustment during future heating seasons .
