Frequently Asked Questions - LD24 Wood's

How to adjust the hygrostat of the Wood's LD24?

Turn the hygrostat dial to maximum. When the desired humidity is reached, turn back until the unit turns off. The hygrostat then maintains that level.

What to do if the dehumidifier does not turn on?

Check that the plug is inserted and the fuse has not blown. If the red light is on, empty the tank and check that the float is free. Make sure the hygrostat is not set too low.

How to install the float after emptying the tank?

Push the reservoir until it touches the float, then slightly lift the lower edge to tilt the reservoir. Push completely: the float must be inside the reservoir and hang freely.

Can I use a continuous drain hose?

Yes. Remove the tank, attach a hose (not included) to the threaded connection under the drip tray and route it to a drain. Ensure the hose is lower than the tray.

How often to replace the air filter?

The SMF filter must be replaced at least once a year to ensure performance. You can register at warranty-woods.com to receive a reminder.

What does the red light on mean?

The red light indicates that the water tank is full or incorrectly positioned. Empty the tank and replace it correctly, making sure the float is free.

The dehumidifier makes a clicking noise, what to do?

Move the unit away from surrounding surfaces. If the noise persists, unplug it and gently separate the cooling coils that may be vibrating against each other.

Can I use the Wood's LD24 in a bathroom?

Yes, but it must be fixed in place. Strictly follow local electrical regulations for humid rooms.

How to extend the warranty to 10 years?

Register your product at warranty-woods.com within 30 days of purchase and replace the SMF filter at least once a year. Keep your receipts.

The dehumidifier is not collecting water, why?

Check that the temperature is between +2°C and +35°C. Clean the drip tray under the coils. Make sure the air filter is not clogged and the unit is at least 25 cm from walls.

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 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 more. 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, doors and windows of the spaces to be dehumidified should be kept closed. The dehumidifier removes bad odor, dries 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 in 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.

MOISTURE CONTROL

Wood's dehumidifier is equipped with a hygrostat which is set to the desired level. The hygrostat senses the current humidity level and starts and stops the dehumidifier automatically.

Procedure:

1. Set the dial to the maximum position.
2. When the desired humidity level is reached, turn the dial back until the dehumidifier turns off.

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 obstruction to ensure maximum air flow.

- It is ideal to place the dehumidifier as centrally in the room/area as possible.

1. Check that the water tank is correctly positioned.
2. Connect the dehumidifier to a grounded electrical outlet.
3. Set the desired humidity level using the hygrostat. Refer the section on moisture control.

NOTE!

When the dehumidifier switches off, it takes 5 minutes 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 it slightly.
4. Push the water tank in 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 TO 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 coils 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's 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 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
