Wood's, the WoRld's
leading dehumidifieRs
Wood's dehumidifier products have
been known as market leaders for
many years. Their dehumidifiers are
suitable for use in the most demanding
climates, where dehumidifying capacity
is good even at lower temperatures
and humidity levels. They are used with
good results in premises that become
damp such as cellars, garages or
summer-houses. They are also excellent
for drying washing, attics, pool rooms
and laundry. being efficient and low
on energy consumption. Does not wear
out clothes.
The amount of humidity that the
dehumidifier removes depends on
temperature, humidity level and
placement. External weather conditions
may also affect the performance of the
dehumidifier.
In cold weather the relative humidity
decreases and thus the extraction
of humidity from the air by the
dehumidifier is reduced. Therefore the
dehumidifier is suitable for use in the
temperature range +5˚C to +35˚C.
Wood's dehumidifiers are safe in
operation and intended for continuous
use over many years. That is why
Wood's offers a 5-year guarantee on the
compressor and 2-year guarantee on
other components.
excessive aiR humidity – a
dangeR
Condensation occurs when water
vapour in the air comes into contact
with a cold roof, window or wall.
When water vapour is cooled down,
condensation occurs, and water-drops
are formed. In high air humidity, the air
may get musty and mould is formed,
causing damage to a house and its
furnishings. This environment may even
cause illness for the residents, since
mites and other creatures thrive in a
damp environment. A dehumidifier
with high performance creates a good,
healthy humidity level, and for greatest
efficiency the doors and windows of
rooms that are being dehumidified
should be kept closed. Removes odours,
dries wood and removes moisture from
sportsware outdoors equipment.
A dehumidifier may be used in cellars,
washrooms, garages, crawl spaces,
caravans, summer-houses and on
boats. If the humidifier is kept in colder
environments, you should study the
Hints at the end of the manual.
placement of dehumidifieR
Wood's dehumidifiers are easy to move
around, all you need to have is a power
source for 220/240V, but bear in mind
the following:
- The dehumidifier should not be placed near
radiators or other heat sources or exposed to
direct sunlight, as it will reduce performance.
- It is beneficial to use a radiator or heating fan
to keep the temperature above +5˚C.
- The dehumidifier should stand at least
25cm from a wall or other obstruction, for
maximum air flow.
- Ideal is to put it in the center
of the room / area.
note: When placed in a
shower or bathing area, the
dehumidifier should be fixed in
place. It is compulsory to check
and respect your local bathroom
regulations before use.
using the dehumidifieR
If the dehumidifier is transported
horizontally, oil may have run out of
the compressor and into the closed
piping system. In such a case, let
the dehumidifier stand for a few
hours before being used. It is very
important that the oil runs back into the
Operating Instructions
compressor, otherwise the dehumidifier
may be seriously damaged.
1. Check that the water reservoir is correctly
placed and the float moves freely in the
reservoir. See the section on the Float.
2. Place two AAA batteries in the remote
panel, and the dehumidifier will start
when connected to a power outlet.
When batteries are first inserted into
the panel, it will automatically preset to
the following setting: fan speed "High",
humidity setpoint "35% RH", bucket-full
alarm "Off", room temperature is shown
in "°C". Current room temperature,
humidity level and the icon of the
selected fan speed will be displayed
when the panel is on.
note: When the dehumidifier
is turned off, you should wait
three minutes before restarting, so
that the built-in automatic functions
are deactivated.
