2.2 Lava stones
Lava stones absorb and then restore the humidity generated by the condensed water. They do not
have a predefined service life. Replace when the stones are showing signs of erosion. The stones
must be placed in the defrosting gutter (as indicated on the photograph) after being moistened with
water.

3. Help resolving problems
3.1 Humidity level is too low:
The humidity fluctuates continuously. Not only do individuals not have the proper equipment at their
disposal but with one or more instant temperature measurements it is not possible to determine or
validate the average temperature.
Following an instant reading, a user can call to announce an insufficient humidity level (30%).
Is the surface of the bottle dry?
The cabinet's atmosphere cannot be dry (due to the presence of water) and this illustrates the
difference between the relative air humidity (% indicated by the hygrometer) and the absolute value
relating to the number of grams of water in the air.
Check the ambient humidity level and the humidification of the lava stones in models which are
equipped with them.
If the ambient level is low, a moist sandbox may be added.
How many readings were taken? Using what type of device?
One or two readings a day are not enough (continuous fluctuations)
