3. Getting to know your instrument

Humans spend a large proportion of their time indoors. For ideal ambient air, a 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:
• Mucous membranes and lips dry out
• Eyes become irritated
• Infections and respiratory diseases are more likely to occur
• Exhaustion, tiredness and difficulty concentrating
• Pets and plants are put under unnecessary strain
• Dust forms more quickly
• Electrostatic charging of textiles made of synthetic fibres, such as carpets and plastic floor coverings
• Wooden furniture and, especially, parquet floors, are damaged
• Musical instruments go out of tune
With this air humidifier, you can bring additional humidity into the ambient air – everywhere: at home, on
the move or in the office. You only require a standard plastic water bottle that you use as a water tank
with the adapter provided. For this reason, and due to its compact size, this air humidifier can be taken
with you when you travel and mounted on a small surface. With the storage pouch, all of the accessories
are always close at hand.
