Wood’s WCD6HG  

The Wood’s WCD6HG is a very 

powerful and sturdy dehumidifier, 

suitable for both professional and 

domestic use. The WCD6HG can be 

used in many different areas, such 

as building sites, basements, laundry 

rooms and other large areas. 

Workings of your  
dehumidifier

The Wood’s WCD6HG is a compres-

sor dehumidifier. As the air is drawn 

through the dehumidifier by the fan, 

the air passes over the compressor 

cooled copper coils. The coils cool 

down 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 exhau-

sted in the room. As the dehumidifier 

condensates the water vapour, heat 

energy is released. That is why a 

compressor dehumidifier will exhaust 

warm, 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. Keep 

the relative humidity level between 

50% and 60% to maintain a safe and 

healthy indoor environment.  

1. 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 dang-

erous goods

4. Do not put fingers or other  

objects into 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.

2. 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 perfor-

mance.

•  Keep at least 25cm distance from 

walls and other obstructions to 

maximize 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:

1. Place the dehumidifier on a flat 

and solid ground, preferably in the 

middle of the room.

2. Connect the included water hose 

to the connection on the side of the 

unit. Please see the section about 

water drainage.    

3. Close all windows and ventilators 

in the room. Otherwise, moist air 

from the outside will continue to flow 

into the room.

4. Connect the dehumidifier to a 

grounded power outlet.

3. Using the WCD6HG

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. 

Automatic defrost

The unit has a hot gas defrost sys-

tem and can be used in colder areas, 

without ice forming on the cooling 

coils. The unit will defrost automa-

tically when needed and resume to 

work when the defrost is completed. 

When defrosting, the compressor and 

fan shuts off and the defrost symbol 

is shown on the control panel. 

Low temperature function

If the temperature drops below 0°C, 

the unit automatically shuts off to 

prevent ice forming on the cooling 

coils. The unit will restart when the 

temperature rises.
