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 actual
humidity, (in grams per cubic meter
air) 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.

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 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.
- 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 dehumidi-
fier stand for a few hours before being
used. It is very important that the oil
runs back into the compressor, other-
wise the dehumidifier may be seriously
damaged.
Once the unit is plugged in, you will
hear 3 noise signals. The unit can be
switched on and off by pressing the
“ON/OFF” button.
You can select the humidity required
by pressing the “HUMID” button.
Select “continue” for a permanent use
or shift to 40% or 60% to maintain the
humidity in the room at these levels. The
compressor will switch off automatically
when the water container is full. When
the unit is reset, the compressor takes
around 3 minutes to switch on.
The air goes into the unit form the
back grill and is release on the top. To
maximize the performance of your
dehumidifiers, to do not obstruct the
back grill.
To move the unit, unplug it and empty
the water tank. You can use the carry
handle sitting at the top of the
dehumidifier.
note: The unit is set to work
between 0ºC and + 40ºC. If the
temperature goes outside this
range it will automatically switch off.
To be restarted, you will need to reset
the dehumidifier by unplugging the
cord and insert it again.

The device is in operation
when power is on.

Please remove water bucket
and empty it.

When the room temperature
is lower than 16°c, the compressor
will shut for 13 minutes and resume
operating for a cycle of 40 minutes.
WateR tank
A noise will tell you when the water
tank is full and the light on the panel
will switch on. The compressor will stop
automatically which will stop the unit
dehumidifying.
1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the
power source.
2. Empty the water reservoir.
3. Put the empty reservoir back in its
position.
4. Connect the dehumidifier to the power
source.
DRainage of WateR
The dehumidifier is fitted with a hose
connection: please refer to FIG C and
FIG D.
using the hose:
1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the
power source and remove the water
reservoir to give access to the drip tray.
2. Attach the hose coupling to the thread
on the dehumidifier and lead the hose
to a drainage outlet. Check that the
hose is not above the level of the drip
tray.
3. 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 of 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.
1. slide the filter up as shown if FIG C
2. Lift the filter out and wash it with warm
water and a mild cleansing agent.
Alternatively the filter may be vacuum-
cleaned.
3. Let the filter dry and put it back.
cleaning anD Maintenance
To clean the outside of the unit, use a
soft dry cloth. You can use a soft neutral
agent if the appliance is very dirty, but
avoid any abrasive tool or liquid. Do not
spray water on the unit.
If the dehumidifier is not used for a long
period, unplug the unit, dry the water
container and clean the filter. Store the
unit in a box or cover it to avoid the
dust to build in.
note: Always disconnect
the cord before cleaning.
hintS:
- When the dehumidifier is used in
extremely damp environments or when
the temperature is below +10˚C, the
dehumidifier may stop working. A large
amount of ice builds up on the cooling
coil. Turn off the dehumidifier and place
it a little above floor level so that the ice
will melt away.
- For maximum dehumidifying power in
a room, it is recommended that the air
supply from outside and from adjoining
rooms is minimized – close doors and
ventilators.
- Increase temp. for faster
dehumidification ( warm air carries
more water.)
- Higher dehumidification in Autumn /
Summer because outside air is warm
and humid.
