• Install the unit with enough space to access the front panel (label side) and the discharge air flow side of the unit for
maintenance and service. The front, label side panel 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.
Location Considerations
• Locate the dehumidier near a suitable drain
(6' 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.
Failure to level the unit may result in leakage
or improper drainage.
• A flooded unit is not covered by warranty.
• Allow sufcient clearance to handle the unit’s
overall dimensions as well as any optional

Drain Installation
The Santa Fe Classic generates condensate. A 6' condensate hose comes attached to the unit. Be sure the hose is not
kinked or otherwise restricted so water can pass through the hose freely. If the Santa Fe Classic is located too far from the
floor drain and the provided hose does not reach, you may use a 1/2" PVC rigid pipe to extend the drain. Rigid PVC tubing is
readily available from your local hardware store. Be sure the extension is at a downward slope to the drain.
An optional condensate pump kit is available for use with the Santa Fe Classic and may be installed if lift is required to
dispose of condensate. Condensate is automatically pumped to a remote location when the water level in the pump’s
reservoir rises to close the float switch.
Note: An optional condensate pump kit (Part # 4022220) can be purchased from a local dealer or online.

Operation
Humidity Control Adjustment
The humidity control is an adjustable switch that turns the dehumidier on and off. It turns on when the relative humidity
(RH) rises to the dial set point. It turns off when the RH is within ±5% of the set point.
Approximate Humidity Levels Per Setting
“Drier” 35% to 45% Relative Humidity
“Normal” 45% to 55% Relative Humidity
(Recommended for most applications)
“Humid” 55% to 65% Relative Humidity
CAUTION!
The dehumidier will run continuously until the RH is reduced to the humidity control dial setting. It is not recommended to
set the humidity control to “dry” in rooms under 65°; doing so will result in long periods of ineffective dehumidier run time.
To turn unit on, turn the humidity dial clockwise to the recommended “NORMAL” position and set fan control to “FAN AUTO.”
To turn the unit off, turn the humidity dial counter clockwise to the “OFF” position and set fan control to “FAN AUTO.”
The Acurite Hygrometer (part number 4038844) is available to accurately monitor humidity levels.
Please contact your dealer or order online.
Defrost Cycle
This product includes a defrost thermostat. This feature prevents internal damage caused by excessive frost forming
within the unit. When the unit is experiencing excessive frost the system will stop dehumidfying and the fan will run until
normal operating conditions are present.
Fan Operation
Turning the fan switch “FAN ON” will cause the unit’s internal blower to run continuously, whether the unit is
dehumidifying or not. This function is desirable if the unit is used for air circulation or ltration. Turning the fan
switch to “FAN AUTO” (recommended) will cause the unit’s internal blower to run only while the unit is dehumidifying.

Air Filtration
The Santa Fe Classic is equipped with a MERV-13 air lter (89-90% ASHRAE dust spot). An optional MERV-11 lter is available
at www.ThermastorFilters.com. The MERV-13 lter should be checked and replaced every three to six months. Operating the
unit with a dirty lter will reduce dehumidier capacity and efciency.
DO NOT operate the unit without the standard MERV-13 or optional MERV-11 lter. Filter non-compliance voids the product warranty.
CAUTION!
MAKE SURE UNIT IS OFF BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW FILTER HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS MAY
RESULT IN IMPROPER FUNCTION OF THE DEHUMIDIFIER AND CAUSE PREMATURE FILTER WEAR OR UNIT DAMAGE.
Changing the Filter
For greatest ltration and efciency of the Santa Fe Classic, it is recommended that the MERV-13 lter be
replaced every three to six months
Step 1 - Remove the lter by
pulling it gently out of the unit
from the front side.
SIDE VIEW

Recommended Installations
Installation of a Santa Fe Classic
With a Supply Kit Only
• Place the Santa Fe Classic in the unnished area of
the basement, near a drain access (condensate will
drain via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
• Using the supply duct collar, supply the dry air
from the dehumidier into a large, open area in
the nished section of the basement.
• Place a return grill / passive vent on the other side
of the wall that separates the nished and unnished
areas. This will allow for a circular air flow
throughout the basement.
• The passive grill will prevent the unnished room
from being placed under a negative pressure and
also allow the dehumidier to focus on keeping the
unnished area dry as well.
• The onboard dehumidistat control can be used
on the unit for this application or a 120 volt
dehumidistat can be placed in the nished basement
as well (we recommend using an electrician to run
the wiring).
• Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms
in the basement to help with proper air circulation
(bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.)
Installation of a Santa Fe Classic
With a Supply and Return Duct Kit
• Place the Santa Fe Classic in the unnished area of
the basement, near a drain access (condensate will
drain via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
• Using the supply and return duct kit, supply the dry
air from the dehumidier into a large, open area of the
nished basement. Use the return duct kit to draw air
back through the dehumidier.
• Be sure the return and supply are at least 10 feet
away from each other for proper air flow throughout
the basement. Add a passive grill between the
nished and unnished areas (*or have a 2” gap
under the door separating the two rooms). This
will help keep the unnished area dry as well.
• Use the 120 volt, wall mounted dehumidistat for this
installation for proper run time on the dehumidier
(we recommend using an electrician to install the
separate 120 volt control).
• Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms
in the basement to help with proper air circulation
(bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.)

Troubleshooting Procedure for Performance
Related Issues
This method of diagnosis is used to function
check the internal components in the dehumidier. This is to be used when a performance issue is
suspected.
1. Set the humidity controller all the way to the
most humid setting or off position – Did the
unit shut off?
2. If yes, turn the fan setting to the ON position –
does the fan start?
3. If fan starts, leave in the fan ON position and
set the humidity all the way to driest setting.
May have to wait 5 minutes for the compressor
to start.
4. Listen for a distinct buzzing/humming sound
of a compressor starting up – do you hear this
noise?
5. If compressor is running and continues to run,
after about 15 minutes you should feel a slight
increase in air temperature being discharged
out of the discharge air side of the unit.
6. If so, depending on your environmental
conditions (temp/Rh%), you should see some
water production out of the hose within
30 minutes or so. (Note: If the room
temperature is 55 degrees or below and/or
in area of low relative humidity, the
dehumidier will produce little to no water.)
7. Collecting the water removed in a 24 hour period
will give a measurement of performance.
