Frequently Asked Questions - WCD8HG Pro Wood's

How do I clean the WCD8HG Pro humidifier?

Clean the water tank and ultrasonic plate weekly with a soft cloth and mild detergent. For descaling, use a mixture of water and white vinegar monthly. Rinse thoroughly before use.

What type of water should I use?

Use distilled or demineralized water to prevent white dust buildup. Tap water may be used but will require more frequent cleaning.

Why is there no mist coming out?

Ensure the water tank is filled and properly seated. Check that the ultrasonic plate is clean. If the problem persists, the device may have an internal fault.

How do I set the timer?

Press the timer button to cycle through preset times (1, 2, 4, 8 hours). The display will show the selected time. The humidifier will shut off automatically.

Can I add essential oils?

No, the WCD8HG Pro is not designed for essential oils. Adding oils can damage the ultrasonic plate and void the warranty.

What is the ideal humidity level?

Set the desired humidity between 40% and 60%. The humidifier will automatically maintain the chosen level using its built-in hygrometer.

How often should I replace the demineralization cartridge?

Replace the cartridge every 2-3 months, depending on water hardness. A decrease in mist output or white dust indicates replacement is needed.

Is the child lock function available?

Yes, press and hold the child lock button for 3 seconds to enable/disable. All other buttons will become inactive when locked.

What does the red indicator mean?

A red indicator light typically signals low water level. Refill the tank to resume operation. The unit will auto-shut off if water runs out.

How do I reset the filter indicator?

After cleaning or replacing the filter, press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds until the indicator light turns off. This resets the maintenance timer.

The dehumidifier is portable and is designed for dehumidifying various premises. The dehumidifier has been approved for damp and wet areas, and is used for applications such as building sites, industrial premises, warehouses, and in the home.

Dehumidifier designated WCD8HGH has an integrated heater. The dehumidifier is CE marked. Degree of protection: IPX4 (corresponds to splash-proof). Dehumidifier WCD8HG - WCD8HGH is stackable, at a height of two, for storage on the floor.

Decommissioning

Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply. Cut off the mains cable and discard it. The refrigerant circuit of this appliance is flammable. Contact your local authority for information on how to discard the appliance correctly. Do not cause damage to the cooling circuit.

Before commissioning

WCD8HG and WCD8HGH are delivered without the console mounted. This must be installed prior to commissioning. Refer to installation instructions, Appendix 1.

Safety

• Position the dehumidifier on a stable and level surface so that it will not overturn.
• The air in- and outlets of the dehumidifier must not be covered during operation, since this may cause overheating and give rise to the risk of fire (refer to Fig. A).
• The different models of WCD8HG are stackable, at a height of two, when stored on floors. The dehumidifier must not be transported or rolled in a stacked position.

Use and operation of the WCD8HG

Location and condensate disposal

Ambient temperature operating range: +3°C to +30°C

Ambient humidity operating range: 40 to 100% RH

If the dehumidifier has been stored at a temperature lower than the ambient, it should be allowed to assume ambient temperature before it is started. After it has been switched off, the dehumidifier must not be restarted earlier than within 10 minutes.

1. Position the dehumidifier in the center of the premises, on a surface that is not sensitive to water.
2. Shut the doors, windows, vents, etc., so that the premises are as tight as possible. Maintain the highest possible ambient temperature to ensure maximum dehumidification.
3. The condensate collecting container of the dehumidifier has a built-in level switch that will stop the dehumidification process when the container is full. This is indicated by the LED switching from constant green to constant red light. The condensate can also be discharged through a hose directly to drain. A 1/2" hose should be connected to the tube with a hose clip above the container (refer Fig. B).
4. When the collecting container has been removed, the dehumidifier will restart. Empty the container and put it back in position as quickly as possible.

Electrical connections

Connect the mains cable to an earthed 230VAC power outlet. Required fuse: Refer overview of range. To start the WCD8HG dehumidifier, set the switch to position I (see Fig. C). The electronic control system delays start by about 5 seconds.

Fig. C

Fig. D

The WCD8HGH dehumidifier incorporates an electric heater and a two-position switch (refer to Fig. D).

Position I → Dehumidification

Position II → Dehumidification + heating

The electric heater will be switched off when the preset room temperature has been reached (factory set to 22°C). The value can be adjusted on the electronic circuit board to between 10°C and 26°C (see the arrow in Fig. E), which should be carried out by a specialist.

Fig. E

If the ambient temperature is lower than +3 °C or higher than +30 °C, the dehumidifier will stop (indicated by the LED, refer below). It will restart automatically when the temperature increases/decreases 2 – 3 °C respectively. If frost should occur on the evaporator, the dehumidifier will automatically be defrosted once an hour.

Cleaning

Before carrying out any cleaning, disconnect the power supply to the dehumidifier. Clean the dehumidifier at regular intervals, as dust and dirt reduce the capacity and may cause overheating and give rise to the risk of fire. Remove the filter and clean it in running water. Blow the cooling circuit clean using compressed air.

The following cleaning should be carried out by a specialist:

If necessary, release the top cover, and remove it in order to gain access for vacuum cleaning the bottom plate on which the compressor is mounted. Prior to mounting the top cover, check that the sealing gasket is undamaged, as the water ingress protection otherwise may be impaired and water come in contact with live parts. Reassemble the top cover.

Pressure limiter

The following should be carried out by a specialist:

The dehumidifier is equipped with a pressure limiter with manual reset on the high pressure-side of the cooling circuit. This will stop the compressor if the condensing pressure for some reason would be too high. Release the top cover, remedy the fault.

Reset the pressure limiter located behind the rubber cap, refer Fig. F and replace the rubber cap. Prior to mounting the top cover, check that the sealing gasket is undamaged, as the water ingress protection otherwise may be impaired and water come in contact with live parts. Reassemble the top cover.

Fig. F

Temperature limiter for E models

The following work should be carried out by a specialist:

A dehumidifier with built-in electric heater has two temperature limiters (one of which has manual reset) that are designed to trip the power supply to the heater in the event of overheating. If the manual temperature limiter has tripped, disconnect the power supply to the heater and leave the heater to cool. Remove the top cover, correct the fault and reset the temperature limiter.

Prior to mounting the top cover, check that the sealing gasket is undamaged, as the water ingress protection otherwise may be impaired and water come in contact with live parts. Reassemble the top cover.

Transport

Before the dehumidifier is transported or moved, any water or ice on the evaporator should run off and the collecting container should be emptied. Secure the dehumidifier firmly for transport. If transported in the horizontal position, position the dehumidifier as shown in Fig. G. The dehumidifier must not be transported in any other position. After horizontal transport, the dehumidifier should be left upright for at least 30 min before it is started.

Lift

Please note! Before the dehumidifier is lifted by a crane the collection bowl must be removed (Fig. H), otherwise it might fall out. Do not walk under hanging goods. Put a strap around the plastic handle of the bracket (Fig. I). Be careful when lifting and putting the dehumidifier down.
