The Humidity Symbol (%)

If your unit is showing the % symbol, first add 1 small cup of water to the base of the unit. Close the door and leave it for 24 hours.

If the icon remains a few days later, please contact us.

If the unit is set below 10 or above 15, hygrometry monitoring is disabled. The % humidity display will be blank.

This is due to the fact that the unit is not set at an ideal cellar temperature, so humidity becomes irrelevant.

 

The humidity sensor takes a reading every 2 seconds. Every 50 seconds, it takes an average. Then over the next fifty seconds it takes an average of the new readings and the previous average reading. The unit only takes readings when the compressor is NOT running. The colder the unit, the lower the humidity. The ambient of the room that the unit is in, affects the %. When you open the door, the sensor reads the ambient humidity. In addition the air entering the unit via the filter will affect the readings. The unit guarantees a minimum of 50%. You cannot set the % of your choice.

It can take up to 3 months to generate more accurate readings.
