Thank you
Thank you for choosing a Wood’s dehumidifier. You are one of more than 600.000
people who have chosen a Wood’s dehumidifier to prevent damages from excessive
moisture and mould. Originating in Canada in 1950, Wood’s has more than 60
years experience of developing and manufacturing dehumidifiers. When choosing
aWood’s dehumidifier you’ll get a unit with great quality, high capacity and
that will extract the most litres per consumed kWh.
Workings of your dehumidifier
The Wood’s M10G is a compressor dehumidifier. As the air is drawn through the
dehumidifier by the fan, the air passes over the compressor cooled copper
coils. The coils cool 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 exhausted in the room. As the dehumidifier condensates
the water vapour, heat energy is released. That is why a compressor
dehumidifier will exhaust dry air that is extra beneficial for drying clothes,
laundry, wood etc.
A compressor dehumidifier is the most energy efficient way to remove excess
moist and bad odour. Keepthe relative humidity level between 50% and 60% to
maintain a safe and healthy indoor environment.
-
Installation and placement
Wood’s dehumidifiers are easy to move around, but bare 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 its performance.
-
Keep at least 25cm distance from walls and other obstructions to max mize the air flow.
-
For optimum performance, place the dehumidifier in the middle of the room.
-
Make sure that the air flow from the inlet and outlet isn’t blocked Installation
-
Place the dehumidifier on a flat and solid ground, preferably in the middle of the room.
-
Close all windows and ventilators in the room. Otherwise, moist air from the outside will continue to flow into the room.
-
Connect the dehumidifier to a grounded power outlet.
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 dehumidifier stand for a few hours before being used. It is very important that the oil runs back into the compressor, otherwise the dehumidifier may be seriously damaged.

The unit is set to work between +5ºC and + 35ºC. If the temperature goes outside this range the unit might not work properly -
Hints
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 M10G works down to temperatures as low as +5°C, its capacity will increase at higher temperatures as warm air carries more water.
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.
To achieve a safe and reliable protection against mould and moisture damage, keep the relative humidity between 50% and 60%. -
