Santa Fe Advance Owner’s Manual

Approximate Humidity Levels Per Setting

“Dry”

35% to 45% Relative Humidity

“Normal”

45% to 55% Relative Humidity (Recommended for most applications)

“Humid”

55% to 65% Relative Humidity

The dehumidifier will run continuously until the relative humidity (RH) is
reduced to the humidity control dial setting. There is no benefit to set the
humidity control to “dry” in rooms under 65°. Doing so will result in long peri-
ods of ineffective dehumidifier run time.

Quality humidity meters are available from Therma-Stor and are recommended
to accurately monitor humidity levels. Please call 1-800-533-7533 to order.

Once the dial has been set to the desired level of humidity control, the
Santa Fe Advance will maintain the same percentage of relative humidity
regardless of room temperature.

To turn the unit off, position the humidity dial to the far left and set fan
control to “auto.”

5.2 Defrost Cycle

An automatic defrost thermostat is attached to the refrigerant tubes
inside the unit. It will automatically shut the compressor off if excessive
frost forms on the evaporator coil. The blower will continue to run, causing
air to flow through the evaporator coil and melt the ice. When the ice has
melted, the evaporator temperature will rise and the thermostat will auto-
matically restart the compressor. During this process, cool air may be
coming out of the unit.

5.3 Blower (Fan) Switch

Turning the fan switch “

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 filtration.

Turning the fan switch to “

AUTO

” will cause the unit’s

internal blower to run only while the unit is dehumidifying.
