Thank you for choosing a Wood’s
dehumidier. You are one of more
than 300.000 people who have cho-
sen a Wood’s dehumidier to prevent
damages from excessive moisture
and mould. Originating in Canada in
1950, Wood’s has more than 60 years
experience of developing and manu-
facturing dehumidiers. When choo-
sing a Wood’s dehumidier you’ll get
a unit with great quality, high capacity
and that will extract the most litres per
consumed kWh.
Wood’s WCD6HGM
The Wood’s WCD6HGM is a very
powerful and sturdy dehumidier,
suitable for both professional and
domestic use. The WCD6HGM can
be used in many different areas, such
as building sites, basements, laundry
rooms and other large areas.
Workings of your
dehumidier
The Wood’s WCD6HGM is a com-
pressor dehumidier. As the air is
drawn through the dehumidier by the
fan, the air passes over the compres-
sor cooled 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 dehumidier
condensates the water vapour, heat
energy is released. That is why a
compressor dehumidier will exhaust
dry air that is extra benecial for dry-
ing clothes, laundry, wood etc.
A compressor dehumidier is the most
energy efcient way to remove excess
moist and bad odour. Keep the rela-
tive humidity level between 50% and
60% to maintain a safe and healthy
indoor environment.

move around, but bare in mind the
following.
• The dehumidier 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 max-
imize the air ow.
• For optimum performance, place
the dehumidier in the middle of the
room.
• Make sure that the air ow from the
inlet and outlet isn’t blocked.
Installation:
1. Place the dehumidier on a at 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 ow into
the room.
4. Connect the dehumidier to a
grounded power outlet.
