Setting the Humidity Level
In most climates, ideal humidity levels are between 40 and 60%. Outside that range (lower or higher) your risk of being
adversely affected increases.
When changing the humidity setting, wait 2-3 days before changing it again. This is how long it takes for the new
humidity level to reach the entire home. Do this each time you make a change, whether lower or higher.
