WOOD'S, ONE OF THE WORLD'S
LEADING DEHUMIDIFIERS
Wood's dehumidifier have been known
as market leaders for many years. Wood's
dehumidifiers are suitable for use in
the most demanding climates, where
dehumidifying capacity is good even
at different temperatures and humidity
levels. They are used with good results
in premises that become damp such as
cellars, garages or summer house. 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
the temperature, humidity level and
placement. External weather conditions
may also affect the performance of
the dehumidifier. In cold weather the
absolute humidity decreases and thus
the extraction of humidity from the air by
the dehumidifier is reduced. (The relative
humidity might still be on a high level.)
Wood's dehumidifiers are safe in
operation and intended for use over
many years.

EXCESSIVE AIR HUMIDITY – A DANGER
Condensation occurs when water vapour
in the air comes into contact with a cold
surface such as cold 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 might get
formed, causing damage to a house
and its furnishings. This environment
may even cause illness for the residents.
Mites and spiders also thrive in a damp
environment. A dehumidifier with high
performance creates a good, healthy
humidity level. 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 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 20-
30cm 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
electrical 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 compressor,
otherwise the dehumidifier may be
seriously damaged.
1. Check that the water reservoir is correctly
placed.
2. Connect the dehumidifier to an grounded
power source.
3. Set the desired humidity level by means of
the humidity control. See the section on the
humidity control.
Operating Instructions
TANK FULL
When the float reaches a certain height,
the dehumidifier responds to this and
shuts down automatically to prevent
flooding of the tank.
When you have emptied the water
reservoir and are to replace it in the
dehumidifier. Push the water reservoir in
until it is in place.
HUMIDITY CONTROL
Wood's dehumidifier is fitted with a built
in humidity control, which is set to the
desired level of humidity. The control
registers the current level of humidity and
ensures that the dehumidifier is turned on
and off automatically.
NOTE: The ambient relative
humidity is most simply measured
with a Wood's hygrometer, and the most
suitable range is between 50% and 60%.
SHUTTING OFF AUTOMATICALLY
When the water reservoir is full, the
dehumidifier is shut off automatically.
The indicator light at the front of the
dehumidifier will switch to red to show
when the water reservoir should be
emptied.
1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the
power source.
2. Empty the water reservoir.
3. Put the empty water reservoir back .
4. Connect the dehumidifier to the power
source.
THE AIR FILTER
The air filter at the rear of the dehumidifier
ensures that the cooling coils are kept
free from dust. It is important that the
filter is kept clean so that air can flow
freely through the dehumidifier. The filter
should thus be cleaned when required.
