Intended Application(s)
The Santa Fe Impact is intended for use in crawlspaces or basements: however, the unit can be placed in almost any
residential setting where dehumidification is desired. Use in non-residential applications and pool areas may void warranty.
The Santa Fe Impact is designed to operate in temperatures between 56° and 95°F.
In order to efficiently control humidity levels, the area in which the dehumidifier is to be operated must be free of water
intrusion or excessive fresh (outside) air infiltration. Before installing the Santa Fe Impact, water intrusion and air infiltration
problems should be addressed.
Registrations
The Santa Fe Impact conforms to unified standard UL 60335-2-40 and CSA standard C22.2.60335-2-40.

Items Included in Box:
• Santa Fe Impact Dehumidifier
• Santa Fe Impact Installation & Operation Instructions
• Santa Fe Impact Leveling Feet
• 8' Drain Hose
Important Precautions
• Do not install the Santa Fe Impact 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 rear panel where the power cord is
located 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 Impact 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 Impact 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 rear panel where the power cord is located. 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.

CAUTION! REMOVE COMPRESSOR SHIPPING TIE FROM THE UNIT. FAILURE TO
REMOVE SHIPPING TIE WILL CAUSE EXCESS VIBRATION TO BE TRANSMITTED TO THE FRAME.
The Santa Fe Impact uses a compressor to power the refrigeration system. To protect the compressor and
refrigeration system during shipping a plastic tie wrap secures it to the units frame. Remove the tie wrap
by cutting the tie wrap and pulling from the unit as shown. After removing tie wrap, insert plastic plugs
provided into the holes.
