REFRESHING MOISTURE...
AS NATURE INTENDED
Congratulations on your excellent choice and sound investment in
this addition to your home comfort system.
Your new unit is among the most energy-efficient and reliable
home humidifiers available today. To assure its dependability,
spend a few minutes now with this booklet. Learn about the
operation of your humidifier and the small amount of maintenance
it takes to keep it operating at peak efficiency.
With minimal care, your humidifier will provide you and your
family with moist, spring-fresh air, from season to season and year
to year.
YOUR HOME HUMIDIFIER
YOUR HOME CAN BE DRIER THAN A DESERT
During the heating season, the air in your home can become
uncomfortably dry. This is because cold winter air holds very little
moisture. When outdoor air is warmed to average room
temperature, its relative humidity falls to even lower levels. Refer
to Fig. 2 for a comparison of the levels of relative humidity for a
few sample environments.
Parched air can cause the wood used in the construction of your
house and furnishings to dry, crack, and split. Draperies and
upholstery may age prematurely. Annoying static electric shock
and cling are more prevalent. Your throat, nasal passages, sinuses,
and skin are more susceptible to irritating dryness. You may even
have to set the thermostat higher than otherwise necessary -- just
to feel warn].
