Santa Fe Advance Owner’s Manual
4 Installation of Unit
4.1 Location
The Santa Fe Advance can be installed in a variety of locations to meet
the owner’s needs, but should be installed directly in the area to be
dehumidified. Other considerations include:
1. Providing access to a 115 VAC power outlet (10’ power cord is provided).
2. Locating near a floor or other suitable drain (8’ drain hose included).
3. Do not install the Santa Fe Advance with the intake or exhaust of the
unit within 1' of a wall or other obstruction. Do not place the unit where
curtains or debris can be drawn onto the intake and restrict airflow.
Do not operate in standing water or place the unit near open water.
Refer to Figure 5.
4. The Santa Fe Advance drains via a gravity system. A level indicator has
been included near the intake of the unit. To ensure the unit will drain
properly, the unit should be positioned so the level bubble appears in
the non-shaded area of the level indicator as shown. Refer to Figure 6.
If the unit is placed on an unlevel surface, place shims underneath the
unit until bubble in the level dial is in the correct position. Failure to level
the unit may result in leakage or improper drainage. See Section 3.2
regarding drain hose installation.
4.2 Electrical Requirements
The Santa Fe Advance plugs into a common grounded outlet on a 15-Amp
circuit. While operating, it draws less than 7 amps @ 80°F, 60% RH and less
than 6 amps @ 75°F, 50% RH. Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
protected circuit is recommended. The unit should not be used in areas prone
to flooding.
