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
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
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.) 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.
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. Select fan speed.
4. Set the desired humidity level by means of
the humidity control. See the section on
the humidity control.
NOTE: When the dehumidifier is
turned off, it will take 5 minutes
before the dehumidifier is restarted,
the built - in automatic functions are
deactivated, during this period.
TANK FULL
When the float reaches a certain height,
Operating Instructions
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.
