Wood’s WDD80
Wood’s WDD80 is a convenient and efficient portable adsorption dehumidifier. It is suitable for basements, washing rooms, summer houses and other areas that need dehumidifying.

Workings of your dehumidifier
Wood’s WDD80 is an adsorption dehumidifier.
The adsorption technique allows for use in colder areas, with great capacity.
As the dehumidifier works, warm and dry air is exhausted on the top of the unit. This makes the WDD80 ideal for drying washing, clothes, wood etc.

Security warnings

Please read these security warnings before using the unit:

1. Unplug the unit from its power supply before cleaning, storage or maintenance of its filter.
2. Always keep a safe distance from water sources.
3. Do not let the machine near heat equipment or inflammable or dangerous goods
4. Do not put fingers or other objects into the air inlet or air outlet.
5. Do not stand on the machine.
6. Always drain the water according to the instructions.
7. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by qualified personnel.
8. The appliance is for indoor use only and should not be used in bathrooms and shower areas.

Installation and placement

Wood’s dehumidifiers are easy to move around 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 its performance.
• Keep at least 25cm distance from walls and other obstructions to maximize the airflow.
• For optimum performance, place the dehumidifier in the middle of the room.
• Make sure that the airflow from the inlet and outlet isn’t blocked

Installation:

1.  Place the dehumidifier on flat and solid ground, preferably in the middle of the room.
2. Close all windows and ventilators in the room to prevent moist outside air from flowing into the room.
3. Connect the dehumidifier to a grounded power outlet.

Using the WDD80

Hygrostat controlled
The unit will run only when the ambient humidity exceeds your set value.
Automatic restart
In the event of a power failure, the unit will continue to work according to your latest settings once the power returns.

A. Operating instructions

1. Starting the dehumidifier
   Press the POWER key to start and stop the unit.

2. Set humidity
   The unit has 4 available settings for desired humidity; 40%, 50%, 60% and ”continuous”. In continuous mode, the unit will continue to run despite ambient humidity level being reached.
   The humidity can only be set at low and medium fan speeds. At high fan speed, the unit will run continuously.|

3. Set the fan speed
   The WDD80 has 3 fan speeds; low, medium and high. Press the SPEED key to choose fan speed.

4. Set timer
   Press the TIMER key to set a timer for automatic shut off. Choose between 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours.

5. Air angle
   Press the AIR ANGLE key to turn the air exhaust 45°, for example when drying clothes or washing.

6. Ionizer
   Press the ION key to activate the ionizer.
   The ionizer cleans the air from harmful particles at the same time as the unit dehumidifies.

NOTE: After shutoff, the fan continues to run for a few minutes to prevent mould from forming inside the unit.

Water drainage

The water is collected in the water bucket on the back of the unit. When the water bucket is full, the unit automatically shuts off. An alarm sounds and a light illuminates on the control panel. Remove the water bucket to empty it and reinsert it.
Attach the water hose (option)
Attach the water hose to the unit and to lead the water directly to a drain – this way you don’t have to empty the water bucket.
Connect the hose (option) on the back of the dehumidifier. Lead the other end to a drain. Make sure that the water can be drained downwards.

 The air filter

The air filter prevents dust and dirt from entering the machine, prolonging its life expectancy.
It is very important that the filter is cleaned regularly; otherwise, the dehumidifier might lose capacity and even be seriously damaged.
Filter cleaning

1. Remove the filter from the back of the unit.
2. Clean the filter with a soft cleaner and warm water. Let the filter dry fully before reinserting it. The filter can also be vacuum-cleaned.
3. Reinsert the filter.

 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 top grids can be vacuum-cleaned or cleaned with a brush.

 Service

If the dehumidifier requires servicing, you must first contact your local retailer. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.

 Warranties

2 years product warranty. Please note that the warranty is only valid upon the production of the receipt.
NOTE: Register your product on www.woodseurope.com to receive more benefits and to get the best warranty protection on your product.
This machine complies with EEC directives 76/889 + 82/499

 Hints

Sometimes it may be useful to use a frost guard or heater fan to make sure that the temperature does not fall below +5˚C. Even if the WDD80 works down to temperatures as low as +1°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 safe and reliable protection against mould and moisture damage, keep the relative humidity between 50% and 60%.
For maximum drying capacity of washing or clothes, choose fan speed HIGH and press the air angle button to direct the airflow.
The unit has protection against internal overheating. If the internal temperature is too high, the unit will automatically shut off. Unplug the unit from the power outlet and wait 10 min before restarting it.
