Abstract:
This humidification device is equipped with: a tank; a humidification unit; a blower; a notification unit that issues a notification to prompt for the water stored in the tank to be replaced; a detection unit that detects the air humidity and the amount of stored water; a control unit that controls the humidification unit and the blower on the basis of the detection result from the detection unit; and a recording unit that records time information indicating the operating time for a prescribed operation. In addition, the humidification device is equipped with a switching unit that receives instructions for switching between a first mode, which is an operating mode in which the humidification unit is operated, and a second mode, which is an operating mode in which a blowing operation is performed by means of the blower without operating the humidification unit. When the second mode is in operation, the control unit determines the elapsed time from the commencement of the second mode on the basis of the time information, and when the elapsed time exceeds a predetermined standard time, the control unit controls the notification unit so as to issue a notification.
