WOOD’S, THE WORLD’S
LEADING DEHUMIDIFIERS
Wood’s dehumidier products have
been known as market leaders for
many years. Their dehumidiers 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 ecient and low
on energy consumption. Does not wear
out clothes.
The amount of humidity that the
dehumidier removes depends on
temperature, humidity level and
placement. External weather conditions
may also aect the performance of the
dehumidier.
In cold weather the relative humidity
decreases and thus the extraction
of humidity from the air by the
dehumidier is reduced. Therefore the
dehumidier is suitable for use in the
temperature range +5˚C to +35˚C.
Wood’s dehumidiers are safe in
operation and intended for continuous
use over many years. That is why
Wood’s oers a 5-year guarantee on the
compressor and 2-year guarantee on
other components.
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 dehumidier
with high performance creates a good,
healthy humidity level, and for greatest
eciency the doors and windows of
rooms that are being dehumidied
should be kept closed. Removes odours,
dries wood and removes moisture from
sportsware outdoors equipment.
A dehumidier may be used in cellars,
washrooms, garages, crawl spaces,
caravans, summer-houses and on
boats. If the humidier is kept in colder
environments, you should study the
Hints at the end of the manual.
PLACEMENT OF DEHUMIDIFIER
Wood’s dehumidiers are easy to move
around, all you need to have is a power
source for 220/240V, but bear in mind
the following:
- The dehumidier should not be placed
near radiators or other heat sources
or exposed to direct sunlight, as it will
reduce performance.
- It is benecial to use a radiator or
heating fan to keep the temperature
above +5˚C.
- The dehumidier should stand at least
25cm from a wall or other obstruction,
for maximum air ow.
- Ideal is to put it in the center
of the room / area.
NOTE: When placed in a
shower or bathing area, the
dehumidier should be xed
in place. It is compulsory to check
and respect your local bathroom
regulations before use.
USING THE DEHUMIDIFIER
If the dehumidier is transported
horizontally, oil may have run out of
the compressor and into the closed
piping system. In such a case, let
the dehumidier stand for a few
hours before being used. It is very
important that the oil runs back into the
compressor, otherwise the dehumidier
may be seriously damaged.
1. Check that the water reservoir is correctly
placed and the oat moves freely in the
reservoir. See the section on the Float.
2. Connect the dehumidier to an earthed
power source.
3. Select fan speed. (not DS12)
4. Set the desired humidity level by means
of the hygrostat. See the section on the
Hygrostat.
NOTE: When the
dehumidier is turned o, you
should wait three minutes before
restarting, so that the built-in
automatic functions are deactivated.

TECHNICAL DATA
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Dehumidier does not start - Check that dehumidier is connected to electricity and that fuse has not gone
- If the warning light is on, check that the water reservoir is empty and correctly placed in the dehumidier.
Check that oat is free
- Check that hygrostat is working. Dehumidier should start when hygrostat is in Maximum position
Does not dehumidify - Check that fan is spinning
- Check that air can ow freely through the dehumidier. Front grid and air lter should be clean and dehumidier should stand
20-30cm from wall
- Listen for sound of compression, but bear in mind that the dehumidier may be in a dehumidifying cycle, when the compression stops. Wait initially for about 35
minutes.
- Check that a thick coating of ice has not formed on the cooling coils.
High noise level - Increase distance between dehumidier and surrounding surfaces
- Cooling coils may be in contact with one another and cause vibration. Disconnect dehumidier from electricity and separate coils
Ice formation on cooling coils - Remove air lter at rear of dehumidier and check that no dust or u is obstructing passage of air through machine
- Timer which controls defrosting may be broken, in which case compression will not stop regularly
No water enters reservoir - Check for obstruction to drip-tray above water reservoir
Does not turn o when water
reservoir is full
- It is important that the oat moves freely in the water reservoir. If it does not, it will not respond to water levels and prevent dehumidier from stopping
If none of the above works, you should contact your nearest retailer for checking and possible overhaul of dehumidier
