Wood's, the World's
leading dehumidifiers
Wood's dehumidifier products have
been known as market leaders for
many years. They are suitable for use in
the most demanding climates, where
dehumidifying capacity needs to be
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. Wood's
dehumidifiers will also dry your clothes
effectively without wearing them out.
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.
note: For use in swimming
pool rooms, keep distances
from water in accordance with
safety norms (machine is IPX2).
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. A dehumidifier
may be used in cellars, washrooms,
garages, crawl spaces, caravans,
summer-houses and on boats It also
removes odours, dries wood and
removes moisture from sportswear
outdoors equipment. If the dehumidifier
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.
- It is ideal is to put it in the centre of the
room / area.
- Locate the dehumidifier so that the air
flow isn't blocked.
- Ensure access for servicing/
maintenance
Operating Instructions
- Make sure that the wall is able to
support the operating weight of the
dehumidifier.
Wall mounting:
To mount the unit to the wall, please
use the two holes on the back of the
dehumidifier. Always make sure that you
use the correct screws for the support of
the machine.
note: It must be verified that
electric supply is corresponding
to the units electric nominal data
reported on the label on the front
panel of the unit. Ground connection
is compulsory.
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.
note: Ensure adequate air volume
to the unit by keeping at least 1 m
distance from walls on the top side
and filter suction side.
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. After
mounting the dehumidifier to the wall
correctly, follow these easy steps to start
using your dehumidifier.
1. Connect the dehumidifier to water
drainage. See the section on water
drainage.
