You set the unit till you see condensation somewhere, usualy on glass,
then back it off till there is no condensation and leave that setting,
it tracks the right amount of moisture you can have based on outside
temp so no damage occurs to your home from over humidifying, which
leads to mold and rot. You have a great humidifier.
