Important Precautions
• Do not install the Santa Fe Impact dehumidier with the intake or exhaust of the unit within 1' of a wall or other obstruction.
Avoid directing the discharge air at people. The dehumidier 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 dehumidier as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the dehumidier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted noise
may result. Place the Santa Fe Impact dehumidier on supports to raise the base of the unit.
Location Considerations
• Locate the dehumidier near a suitable drain (8' drain
hose included). Allow for proper drainage and routing
of needed drain pipes.
• Locate the dehumidier 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. Feet will be
installed as a securing measure after the hang kit is
put on the dehumidier. DO NOT hang the Santa Fe
Impact dehumidier from its’ cabinet.
• Allow sufcient clearance to handle the unit’s
overall dimensions as well as any optional return
and supply ductwork to the unit.
• Allow sufcient clearance for lter removal and to
prevent airflow obstruction.
• Electrical service access will require the removal of
the rear panel where the power cord is located. Allow sufcient clearance around the unit.
