WOOD’S FOR CLEAN AND HEALTHY INDOOR AIR
The brand Wood’s was born with the Wood’s family over 65 years ago in the Canadian city of Guelph, Ontario. This is where Wood’s began developing and manufacturing dehumidifiers in 1950. Since then Wood’s has helped several hundred thousand households to prevent damages from mould damp, and to breathe cleaner air. Our portable air conditioners are suitable for use in most climates, where capacity is good even at different temperatures and humidity levels. They
are used with good results in premises that become hot such as living rooms, offices or bedrooms. The amount of hot air that the air conditioner removes depends on the temperature, humidity level and placement. External weather conditions may also affect the performance of the air conditioner.
Wood’s air conditioners are safe in operation and intended for continuous use over many years.
HOW DOES THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WORK?
Low pressure gives cold air
The main element of the air conditioner is a coolant, which under low pressure is converted to gas. The process “creates
cold”, which is transmitted inward, while keeping the warm air out.
A liquid coolant is passed through an expansion valve and into a pipe where the pressure is low.
The coolant evaporates and turns into a gas. The process absorbs heat from the surroundings and the pipe is cooled.
A fan blows the cold air into the room. The gas is passed through a compressor, which increases the pressure and converts
the gas into liquid.
In this process, heat is released, which is led to pipes on the opposite side and blown out by a fan.
A thermostat shuts off the unit when the indoor air is cold enough.

SET UP AIR CONDITIONER FOR INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT:
2. Installation
BEFORE FIRST USE
Let the machine stand up for 4 hours before use
Selecting a Location
Important
1. This air conditioner may be moved around indoor conveniently; keep the unit in upright position while moving it. The air-conditioner shall be placed at a flat surface.
Do not install or operate this air-conditioner in a bathroom or other wet environment.
Since a portable air conditioner is on wheels, it is easy to change positions. When the heat turns on, you just move your portable air conditioner into the room and can quickly get started cooling the
space. Air conditioner must be operated in an enclosed area to be most effective.
Close all doors, windows, and other outside openings to the room. The
effectiveness of the Air Conditioner depends on the temperature and humidity level.
2. Place the air conditioner in a location that does not restrict airflow through the front of the unit.
3. An Air Conditioner operating in a room will have little or no effect
in drying an adjacent enclosed storage area, such as a closet, unless there is adequate circulation of air in and out of the area. A portable Air Conditioner evacuates the heat from the unit with a ventilation hose through a window or exhaust air valve.
4. There should be a minimum of 50 cm distance between Air Conditioner and closest object. See picture for reference.

Notes:
- Drain hose must be installed when there’s no water in the tray.
- It is suggested that not to use continuous drainage when unit is in COOL mode, to ensure enough water recycle in the unit to enhance the system cooling effects.
- Put the drain hose in an inaccessible place, not higher than drainage hole and keep drain hose straight without any flexure.
- Keep the drain cover and its stopper properly when continuous drainage is adopted.
The air filter
The air filter prevents dust and dirt from entering the machine, prolonging its life expectancy. It is important the filter is cleaned regularly. otherwise the unit may be seriously damaged. Therefore, clean the filters at least once every two weeks.
