exchanger. Always see to that the appliance is kept clean. Do not cover the
unit.
Defrosting operation
The evaporator in the dehumidifier may defrost automatically if it is operated
in the room temperature less than 18 C. The defrosting device may start up and
operate for some time (about 5 minutes) automatically every 25 minutes or even
longer.
During the defrosting operation, the dehumidification function and air
purification function may intermit.
Please don’t turn off the switch or pull out the power plug of. the
dehumidifier during the defrosting operation.
This dehumidifier can’t be applicable to keep extreme low temperature.
The purpose of this dehumidifier is to pump off the unpleasant high humidity
in daily life and dry the wet things. But it can’t be used to keep extreme low
temperature.
The room temperature increases during the operation.
This dehumidifier doesn´t have colling function. It will produce heat during
the operaton and increase the room temperature to 1 to 4°C. In addition, the
door and windows are closed and other appliances in the room can give out heat
as well as the radiation of the sun can raise the room termperature.
WOOD’S, ONE OF THE WORLD’S 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 house. 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 absolute humidity
decreases and thus the extraction of humidity from the air by the dehumidifier
is reduced. (The relative humidity might still be on a high level.) The
dehumidifier is suitable for use in the temperature range +5˚C to +32°C.Wood’s
dehumidifiers are safe in operation and intended for continuous use over many
years.
EXCESSIVE AIR HUMIDITY – A DANGER
Condensation occurs when water vapour in the air comes into contact with a
cold surface such as cold 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 might get formed, causing damage to a house and its
furnishings. This environment may even cause illness for the residents. Mites
and spiders also thrive in a damp environment. A dehumidifier with high
performance creates a good, healthy humidity level. 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 outdoors
equipment.
A dehumidifier may be used in cellars, washrooms, garages, crawl spaces,
caravans, summer-houses and on boats. If the humidifier 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 20-30cm from a wall or other
obstruction, for maximum air flow.
– Ideal is to put it in the center of the room / area.

1.Water drainage
When the water reservoir is full, the
dehumidifier is shut off automatically.
Once the water reservoir is emptied the unit will automaticallt restart.
- Disconnect the dehumidifier from the power source.
- Empty the water reservoir.
- Put the empty water reservoir back and check that the float moves freely.
Connect the dehumidifier to the power source.
Direct water drainage
Connect a water hose to the pipe on the back of the dehumidifier. Lead the other end to a drain. Make sure that the water can be drained downwards.
2. The air filter
The air filter prevents dust and dirt from entering the machine, prolonging
its life expectancy. It is important the filter is cleaned regularly.
Filter cleaning:
-
Remove the filter.
-
Wash it with warm water and a mild cleansing agent.
Alternatively the filter may be vacuum cleaned. -
Let the filter dry and put it back.
3. Maintenance
– Clean the unit with a soft moist cloth. Do not use solvents or strong
cleaners as this might damage the surface of the unit.
– The cooling coils are best cleaned with a rag and warm water.
4. Service
If the dehumidifier requires servicing, you must first contact your local retailer. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
5. Warranties
2 years product warranty. Please note that the warranty is only valid upon the production of the receipt.
NOTE! Get a 3-years warranty! Register at warranty-woods.com. Please visit
woods.se for more information.
Sometimes it may be useful to use a frost guard or heater fan to make sure
that the temperature does not fall below +10˚C. Even if the MRD12 works down
to temperatures as low as +5°C, its capacity will increase at higher
temperatures as warm air carries more water.
6. Storage
Before storage of the unit, please follow these steps:
- When the unit is switched off empty the water tank from water and put it back.
- Collect and bundle the power cord
- Clean the filter
- Store in a clean, dry environment.
Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
7.Hints
When the dehumidifier is used in extremely damp environments or when the
temperature is below +5˚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.
Sometimes it may be useful to use a frost guard or heater fan to make sure
that the temperature does not fall below +10˚C. Even if the MRD12 work down to
temperatures as low as +5°C, its capacity will increase at higher temperatures
as warm air carries more water.
The hygrostat has a margin of error of approx. +/- 5-10%. At lower
temperatures, the margin of error might increase further.
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.
Expect higher dehumidification capacity during Autumn / Summer because the
outside air is warmer and more humid.
Recommended limits for use:
Temperature: +5°C to +32°C
Relative humidity: 30% to 80%
