overview  
If the air is at a relative humidity of 40%, then the dew-point  
temperature is only 43°F. The walls and ceilings would therefore have  
to be significantly colder for the air to reach its dew-point and for water  
droplets to form.  
How to achieve the correct temperature and air humidity:  
Tips for active heating and ventilation:  
Check the dew-point! Surfaces of walls should not fall below a  
temperature of 59°F.  
Avoid shutting off the heat completely when leaving the house for  
extended periods of time.  
Ventilate in all weather conditions, even if it’s raining.  
Open the windows for a short time to air the room. A partially  
opened window does not have the desired effect, wastes heating  
energy and can even promote the formation of mold.  
If the room air is too dry, particularly in the winter, then electrical  
air humidifiers are recommended, since airing at low temperatures  
will tend to decrease the humidity further.  
When airing a room, a few minutes should be sufficient. Check  
the value indicated on your Mold Alert thermo-hygrometer.  
stArtuP  
1. Select °F/°C and place the audio alarm switch on the back of the

suggestions for Placement of the unit  
There is an opening on the back of the unit, which allows it to be easily  
hung from the wall. In addition, a base is provided for the unit to be  
placed on any surface in a standing position.  
Since the humidity level within rooms can vary greatly, the Mold  
Alert should be placed in an area most likely subject to mold growth.  
Problem areas are often basements, closets, surfaces near windows  
and exterior walls. Anywhere in a home that is damp or has suffered  
from water damage is also a prime location for mold growth.  
reAding tHe disPlAy  
Three values of measurement are displayed simultaneously.  
The left column shows the indoor relative humidity (%), the middle  
column indicates room temperature (°C/°F), and the right column  
displays the dew point (Td).  
The temperature can be displayed either in Fahrenheit or Celsius by  
adjusting the °C/°F switch on the back of the unit. The audio alarm can  
be activated using the “Al On / Al Off” switch on the back of the unit.  
Risk of mold formation occurs at humidity levels exceeding 65%. When  
this point is reached, the frowning face icon on the display will light up.  
If the audio alarm is activated, it will also sound. An arrow pointing up  
will be flashing next to the relative humidity display. The audio alarm  
can be silenced by pressing any button.  
When humidity levels are reduced below 65% the frowning face icon  
will stop flashing and the alarm (if activated) will be silenced. The arrow  
pointing up display will persist to indicate high humidity levels have  
occured in the past. The arrow pointing up display can be reset by  
pressing any button.

Minimum/Maximum temperatures  
The highest temperature and humidity values since the last reset  
can be displayed by pressing the Min/Max button on the right side  
of the Mold Alert.  
The lowest temperature and humidity levels since the last reset,  
can be displayed by pressing the Min/Max button a second time.  
The current values can be shown again by pressing the Min/Max  
button a third time.  
The reset key is located above the Min/Max button on the right  
side of the unit and is used to reset Min/Max values when they  
are displayed.  
if humidity levels are high  
To lower humidity, you can open windows or put a fan in the area  
to better ventilate it, which may prevent mold growth.  
If there is moisture or a water leak, mold growth may have  
occurred. This mold can cause health problems and the sooner  
you detect it, the more likely you are to be able to control it.  
If you suspect that you have a mold problem, and the remedies  
outlined in this manual prove to be insufficient, please contact a  
mold control professional.  
if humidity levels are low enough  
The area in which you have placed the unit is safe from mold growth,  
however the Mold Alert thermo-hygrometer is a useful product to have  
in any home due to its accurate measurements of temperature, dew  
point, and humidity.  
MAintenAnce  
Do not expose the Mold Alert to extreme temperatures, vibration,  
or shock.  
Clean the unit with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents or  
scouring agents.  
Replace batteries if the unit stops working.
