Wood’s air purifiers
Wood’s air purifiers are innovated, developed and manufactured in Sweden – from the sheet metal of the body and the filters, to the final assembly. Around the world, Swedish products are known for quality and durability – a legacy we are proud to carry on.
When developing new products, Wood’s always put the consumer use first. This results in highly efficient, reliable and discrete air purfiers of top quality with market leading warranties.
With a background in manufacturing solutions for the medical and food industry, Wood’s apply the same high standards when developing air purifiers for home use.

- Replaceable fuse protects the components in the unit. In case of electric overload replace with 5x20mm 2A, slow fuse.Fig. D
- Mount the filter cover horizontally on the wall with the appropriate screw and plug. Install the filter cover located on the back of the machine on the wall by first marking two points on the wall horizontally with a cc distance of 406.5mm. Drill holes and insert the appropriate plug to the wall. Screw in two screws with solid head. Hang on the plate on the wall and finally mark the last hole. Repeat the same procedure as before with drill, plug and screw. Unscrew the legs from the device. Then hang up the machine on the filter cover.Fig. E

Thank you for choosing a Wood’s air purifier! In this manual you’ll find everything you need to know about your Wood’s air purifier.Please keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference. For best capacity and to avoid any damage to your product, it is important that you read these instructions carefully before using your product.
Poor air quality – a health hazard.
Daily, we inhale large amounts of harmful particles in our homes. Wood’s air purifiers remove 99,98% of all pollen, dust, soot, exhaust fumes, bacteria and mould spores from the indoor air and provide an instant relief for people suffering from allergies and asthma. People who aren’t sick are also affected by air pollution and will notice the difference when the air is kept free from particles and pollution. Wood’s air purifiers also remove radioactive radon daughters from the indoor air and prevent diseases from spreading in the workplace or in your home.
High amounts of particles and pollution is a common problem in most cities and inhaling these pollutants can impair the lung capacity of children and even lead to serious diseases for adults. The problem increases when the outside air gets drier during the winter. An air purifier from Wood’s guarantees a healthy indoor environment, no matter where you use it and improves the air quality before it affects your health.
Warnings and safety instructions
The Wood’s AL 300-series is a low voltage electrical appliance. With a voltage of only 12V, the risk of electrical shock is significantly lowered. However, as with all electrical appliances, it is important to follow a few safety instructions.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.
- Always keep the appliance away from water.
- Always keep the appliance away from heat sources.
- Do not block the air flow from the unit.
- Do not use the unit outdoors.
- Always unplug the unit before moving it, storing it, cleaning it or maintaining its filter.
- Make sure that it is placed on a solid, flat surface.
- Careless handling or unauthorized alteration of the chord or electronics of the air purifier could void the warranty.
- The warranty is only valid upon production of a receipt.
Using your Wood’s air purifier
- Connect the unit to a power source.
- Place the unit on a flat and stable surface, preferably in the middle of the room.
- Switch the air purifier on and choose fan speed with the fan speed knob on the top of the unit, underneath the cover (see Fig. A). A higher fan speed means higher air flow and faster purification but also slightly higher power consumption and noise level.Please refer to Fig. A for more information.
- When the air purifier is running, you can feel the air flow from the top of the unit.
- For best results, leave the air purifier running continuously, even during the night or when you leave the house.
- The filter in the unit needs to be replaced regularly, at least once every six months. Read more about replacing the filter below.
- For best results, place the air purifier in the centre of the room. Make sure that the air flow isn’t blocked.
Workings of your Wood’s air purifier
The AL 300-series circulates the air through the room with a fan, taking in air from its bottom side and exhausting clean air from its top. For optimum air purification, it is usually recommended that the air purifier is powerful enough to circulate the air through the room twice every hour. This unit is therefore recommended for rooms up to 60m2 , depending on the environment. In a demanding environment, for example very dirty rooms or rooms where people smoke, you need to circulate the air more often. The maximum working area might therefore be smaller than in a less demanding environment. A demanding environment will also affect how often you need to replace the filter in the unit. We therefore recommend that you check the filter regularly and replace the filter when needed. Please refer to the filter chapter below for more information.
When the air is circulated in the room and passed through the ionization part of the air purifier, the particles in the air are given a light electrical charge. When the air passes through the air purifier, the charged air particles are drawn to the Active ION HEPA filter where they stick. This technique is not only very efficient, it also allows for a low filter density. By using an electrical charge to separate the particles from the air, Wood’s doesn’t have to rely on the density of the filter to receive a high level of purification. This means that no noisy and energy consuming fans are needed to circulate the air, which is needed in purifiers using traditional filters of the same capacity. Carbon filter (optional) If the unit is equipped with a carbon filter, the gases in the air are absorbed by the carbon filter after the air has passed through the Active ION HEPA filter. The carbon filter removes gases and unpleasant odour from the air. Install the carbon filter by removing the top cover of the unit (see Fig. C). Replace the carbon filter when it is expired by removing the top cover and gently pulling the filter out. Insert a new filter according to the markings of the filter and put the top cover back.
Cleaning and filter maintenance
Wood’s air purifiers are easy to clean and maintain. If needed, use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the purifier. Avoid using solvents or strong cleaners as this may damage the surface of the air purifier.
Filter changeThe Active ION HEPA filter in the AL 300-series needs to be changed regularly due to its ionization. To receive the full, 10 years warranty make sure to change the filter at least once every six months. However, the filter may need to be replaced more often depending on the environment. The filter also has a status indicator that shows when it needs replacing.
- Switch the air purifier off and unplug it from the power outlet.
- Access the filter by removing the back cover of the air purifier.
- Remove the consumed filter.
- Insert a new filter as marked by the arrows on the filter.
- Put the back cover back and reconnect the air purifier to the power outlet.
