3. Getting to know your device

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 rea-
ched, 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 may have 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.
