All keystrokes are confirmed with a beep
FUNCTION KEYS

1. On/OFF- Switches the dehumidifier on and off. In off mode, the energy consumption equals 0.5 W.

2. Setting of the desired humidity – Only active in program modes “Normal” and
   “Fan”. Desired humidity can be set between 35 – 75% in steps of 1 percentage point. The set value is first displayed fixed and then flashing before the actual value reappears.

3. Mode selection – Selection of the operating program, refer to points 13. – 16. below.

4. Fan speed – The speed of the fan may in “Normal” and “Fan” mode be set at low or high speed. Switching between the speeds takes place with a few seconds delay.

ALARMS / INFORMATION

1. Defrost – If necessary, the cooling circuit is defrosted automatically, whereby the compressor is switched off and only the fan is in operation. The symbol goes out when the dehumidification process is restarted.
2. Too high ambient temperature – If the ambient temperature exceeds 35 ° C the dehumidification process shuts off and resumes automatically when the ambient temperature falls below 35 °C. The symbol is lit as long as the temperature is 35 ° C or higher.
3. Low room temperature – if the ambient temperature falls below2 ° C the dehumidification process shuts off and resumes automatically when the ambient temperature rises above 2 °C. The symbol is lit as long as the temperature is 2 ° C or lower.
4. Condensate tank full – When the tank is full an audible signal is activated for 20 seconds and the symbol is lit. When the water tank is emptied and repositioned, the reset is reset to the operating program automatically. Make sure that the float hangs freely in the tank.
5. Room temperature – Displays the detected ambient temperature.
6. Fan speed – Fan and dashes indicate high speed and only the fan indicates low speed.

WOOD’S, THE WORLD’S LEADING DEHUMIDIFIERS

Wood’s dehumidifier products have been known as market leaders for many years. Our 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 basements, garages, or summer houses. They also work great when drying and washing without wear on textiles, in pool areas, and in laundry rooms. They are efficient and have low
energy consumption They are also excellent for drying laundry, attics, pool rooms and. Being efficient and low in energy consumption.
The amount of moisture that the dehumidifier removes depends on temperature, humidity level, and placement. The weather outdoors also affects dehumidifier performance. In
cold weather the relative humidity indoors drops, thus reducing the dehumidifier’s moisture absorption from the air. Therefore, the dehumidifier is adapted for use in the temperature range + 2˚C to + 35˚C. Wood´s dehumidifiers are safe and designed to operate continuously for many years.

EXCESSIVE AIR HUMIDITY – A

DANGER
Condensation occurs when the water vapor in the air comes into contact with a cold surface such as a ceiling, window, or wall. When the water vapor cools down condensation takes place whereby water droplets form. At high humidity, stale air can occur and mold is formed which damages the house and its interior. This environment can also lead to illnesses of the inhabitants when, among other things, mites thrive in a humid environment. A dehumidifier with high performance creates a good and healthy moisture level. To achieve the best effect, the doors, and windows of the spaces to
be dehumidified should be kept closed. The dehumidifier removes bad odor, dries the wood, and removes moisture from sports equipment for outdoor use, etc. A dehumidifier can be used in basements, laundry rooms, garages, caravans, summer cottages, and boats. If the dehumidifier is used in colder environments, take a closer look at the hints at the end of the instructions for use.

NOTE!
When placed in a shower or bathing area, the dehumidifier should be fixed in place. It is mandatory to check and follow the local bathroom electrical regulations before use.

USE WOOD’S DEHUMIDIFIERS
If the dehumidifier is transported horizontally, leave it standing upright for 4 hours before use. It is very important for the oil to flow back into the compressor, as the dehumidifier otherwise may take serious damage. Wood’s dehumidifiers are easy to move around when they are equipped with wheels. All that is required is the proximity to an electrical outlet for 220-240 V, but keep in mind the following: The dehumidifier should not be placed near radiators or other heat sources and not exposed to direct sunlight as it lowers performance.

• You can use a radiator or heating fan to keep the temperature above + 2˚C.
• The dehumidifier should be placed at least 25 cm away from walls and other obstructions to ensure maximum airflow.
• It is ideal to place the dehumidifier as centrally in the room/area as possible.

1. Check that the water tank is in the correct position.
2. Connect the dehumidifier to a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Choose the desired humidity program or humidity level using the control panel. Refer to the section on function description.

NOTE!
When the dehumidifier switches off, it takes 5minutes before it restarts.

FLOAT
The float consists of a white plastic cylinder suspended by two wires hanging in two arms. The float is buoyant and when the water level rises, the float is lifted up. When the float has reached a certain height, the dehumidifier detects this and turns off automatically to prevent flooding. When the water tank is emptied it should be put back in position the following way:

EMPTYING WATER CONTAINERS

1. When the water tank is full, pull it gently outwards and empty it into the drain.
2. Push the water container back in until it touches the float.
3. Lift the bottom edge of the water tank to incline the water tank slightly.
4. Push the water tank at the last distance. The float should now have ended up in the water tank, instead of being clamped behind it.

NOTE!
It is important that the float hangs freely because its purpose is to detect the water level in the tank and ensure that the dehumidifier switches off when the level is high. An incorrectly positioned float can cause the water tank to overflow.

DRAIN THE WATER INTO THE SEWER

1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the electrical outlet and remove the water tank to access the threaded connection underneath the drip tray.
2. Attach the hose coupling to the threaded connector and lead the hose to the drain. Ensure that the hose is positioned lower than the drip tray.
3. Insert the dehumidifier plug into the socket.
4. Without hose and directly over the drain:
5. Place the dehumidifier directly over the drain so that the condensed water can drip through the hole in the bottom of the dehumidifier and into the drain.

AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN

When the water tank is full, the dehumidifier shuts off automatically, signaling that the water tank must be emptied before you can use the dehumidifier again. Refer to the function description.

1. Disconnect the dehumidifier from the electrical outlet.
2. Empty the water tank.
3. Replace the emptied water tank and make sure the float hangs free, refer to the Float section.
4. Connect the dehumidifier to the electrical outlet. The dehumidifier restarts in the same mode as when disconnected.

AIR FILTER
The air filter on the back of the dehumidifier ensures that the cooling coils are kept free of dust. It is important that the filter is clean so that the air can flow freely through the dehumidifier. The filter should therefore be replaced when needed.
The dehumidifier is equipped with an SMF filter which improves the capacity of the dehumidifier at the same time as it further purifies the air. Refer to instructions for changing the air filter. We recommend at least one filter change per year. To follow the warranty program Register your dehumidifier at warranty-woods.com
AUTOMATIC DEFROST
Wood’s dehumidifiers are equipped with a control system ensuring that the cooling coils are defrosted if necessary. The control system switches off the compressor, which causes the cooling of the loops to stop. The fan continues to draw the room temperature air through the dehumidifier and thus the ice melts and the water flows down into the water tank. Note that this control system allows the dehumidifier to operate at temperatures as low as + 2˚C”
FAN
The fan ensures that air flows through the dehumidifier. Moist air is sucked in from
the back and through the evaporator and condenser and released dry on the top of the dehumidifier.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Wood dehumidifiers require cleaning and filter replacement to maintain their high dehumidification capacity.

• The air outlet can be vacuumed or cleaned with a brush. Use caution to prevent the slats from being damaged.
• The cooling coils are best cleaned with a cloth and warm water. Use caution.
• The fan motor is permanently lubricated and requires no maintenance.

NOTE!
Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

HINTS

• For maximum dehumidification capacity in a room, it is recommended that the supply of air from the outside and adjoining rooms are minimized – close doors and valves. If possible, place the dehumidifier in the middle of the room.
• Raise the temperature in the room for faster dehumidification. (Hot air can carry more water). Use a frost guard if the temperature drops below + 2 ° C
• The dehumidifier extracts more water during the summer and autumn because the outdoor air is warm and moist. (The absolute humidity is normally higher).
• Recommended limits for use:
• Temp. SW + 2˚C to + 35˚C
• Relative humidity: 30% to 90%
• Recommended moisture level c.a. 50% RH
