Items Included in Box:
• Santa Fe Advance2 Dehumidifier
• Santa Fe Advance2 Installation & Operation Instructions
• Santa Fe Advance2 Leveling Feet
• 8’ Drain Hose
• Drain Adapter
Important Precautions
• Do not install the Santa Fe Advance2 with the intake or exhaust of the unit within 1' of a wall or other obstruction. Avoid
directing the discharge air at people. The dehumidifier should be used in the upright position.
• Do not place the unit where curtains or debris can be drawn into the intake and restrict airflow.
• The device is designed to be installed indoors in a space that is protected from rain and flooding.
• Do not operate in standing water or place the unit near open water. If used near a water source; be certain there is no
chance the unit could fall into the water or get splashed and that it is plugged into a dedicated circuit and Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.
• Install the unit with enough space to access all sides for maintenance and service. The top “L” shaped panel needs to be
removed in order to do repairs.
• DO NOT use the dehumidifier as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the dehumidifier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted noise may
result. Place the Santa Fe Advance2 on supports to raise the base of the unit.
Location Considerations
• Locate the dehumidifier near a suitable drain
(8’ drain hose included). Allow for proper
drainage and routing of needed drain pipes.
• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the
cord’s length (9’) easily reaches a 115 VAC
electrical outlet with a minimum of a 15 Amp
circuit capacity.
• The unit is designed to operate while level. If
the unit is placed on an unlevel surface, refer to
section below (Installing Leveling Feet). Failure to
level the unit may result in leakage or improper
drainage.
• The unit should be suspended with a hang kit
from the floor joists if there is any possibility
of flooding. A flooded unit is not covered by
warranty. DO NOT install the feet if you are
using the hang kit. DO NOT hang the Santa Fe
Advance2 from its’ cabinet.
• Allow sufficient clearance to handle the unit’s overall dimensions as well as any optional return and supply ductwork to the unit.
• Allow sufficient clearance for filter removal and to prevent airflow obstruction.
• Electrical service access will require the removal of the top “L” shaped panel. Allow sufficient clearance around the unit.
Installing Leveling Feet
• Lay down a protective pad (pillow, blanket, etc.).
• Carefully turn unit onto side.
• Install leveling feet and adjust to the desired position to ensure unit is level for proper drainage.
• Carefully bring unit to upright position.
• Wait a minimum of 10 minutes before operating.
