(Note: when humidity conditions in the home are below the humidity setting on the Humidex, as they usually are during the heating season, the Humidex operates at approx. 25% of the capacity of a standard bathroom fan), or by introducing make-up air inside the building.
8” x 10” (or other grill configuration, having total area of not less than 80 sq. in.) in the bottom of the door or wall to avoid having stagnant air in those areas. Otherwise interior doors must remain open. This insures that all the air drawn into the Humidex comes from all areas of the basement.
Also maximize the distance between the unit and the source of replenishment air (example: stairwell or openings to upper level).

When a Humidex is installed in these conditions, condensation may result, as the air from the upstairs comes in contact with cold surfaces (i.e. concrete walls, floors, etc.). The Humidex ventilation effect will over time increase the basement temperature and help prevent this condition, however, during the initial operating season;...
Mold, Mildew and Musty Smell If mold or mildew is present prior to installing a Humidex, please have the contaminated area cleaned. Not doing so could cause the Humidex to spread that mold to other locations in the basement or crawlspace.
