Wood’s WCD6HG
The Wood’s WCD6HG is a very
powerful and sturdy dehumidifier,
suitable for both professional and
domestic use. The WCD6HG can be
used in many different areas, such
as building sites, basements, laundry
rooms and other large areas.
Workings of your
dehumidifier
The Wood’s WCD6HG is a compres-
sor dehumidifier. As the air is drawn
through the dehumidifier by the fan,
the air passes over the compressor
cooled copper coils. The coils cool
down the water vapour, separating
the water from the air.
The water drips down from the coils
and is drained away with the water
hose. Left is the dry air that is exhau-
sted in the room. As the dehumidifier
condensates the water vapour, heat
energy is released. That is why a
compressor dehumidifier will exhaust
warm, dry air that is extra beneficial
for drying clothes, laundry, wood etc.
A compressor dehumidifier is the
most energy efficient way to remove
excess moist and bad odour. Keep
the relative humidity level between
50% and 60% to maintain a safe and
healthy indoor environment.
1. Security warnings
Please read these security
warnings before using the unit:
1. Unplug the unit from its power
supply before cleaning, storage or
maintenance of its filter.

water sources.
3. Do not let the machine near heat
equipment or inflammable or dang-
erous goods
4. Do not put fingers or other
objects into air inlet or air outlet.
5. Do not stand on the machine.

2. Installation and
placement
Wood’s dehumidifiers are easy to
move around, but bare 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 its perfor-
mance.
• Keep at least 25cm distance from
walls and other obstructions to
maximize the air flow.
• For optimum performance, place
the dehumidifier in the middle of
the room.
• Make sure that the air flow from the
inlet and outlet isn’t blocked
Installation:
1. Place the dehumidifier on a flat
and solid ground, preferably in the
middle of the room.
2. Connect the included water hose
to the connection on the side of the
unit. Please see the section about
water drainage.
3. Close all windows and ventilators
in the room. Otherwise, moist air
from the outside will continue to flow
into the room.
4. Connect the dehumidifier to a
grounded power outlet.
3. Using the WCD6HG
