4. Unit Assembly
4.1 Installing Feet
Included with your Santa Fe Compact2 are four leveling feet.
It is important to level the unit for proper draining. Do not
install the feet if you are using the optional hang kit.
Adjusting Leveling Feet
1. Lay down a protective pad (pillow, blanket, etc.).
2. Carefully turn unit onto side.
3. Install leveling feet and adjust to the desired position.
4. Carefully bring unit to upright position.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 until unit is capable of proper drainage
as described in section 5.2.3 of this manual.
6. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes before operating.
CAUTION!
Note: Operating the unit immediately after bringing it to an
upright position can possibly damage the compressor. A
minimum of 10 minutes is needed to allow the compressor
oil to return to it’s reservoir for lubrication.
4.2 Drain Hose
Install the threaded drain hose fitting into the lower right hand
side, on the front of the machine. Place drain hose end on drain
port until fully seated. Refer to Section 5.2.3 regarding proper
drainage.
5. Installation
5.1 Safety Precautions
• Do not install the Santa Fe Compact2 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.
5.2 Location
The Santa Fe Compact2 can be installed in a variety of locations
to meet the dehumidification needs, but should be installed
directly in the area to be dehumidified. Other considerations
include:
1. Providing access to a 115 VAC power outlet (9' power cord is
provided).
2. Locating near a suitable drain (8' drain hose included).
3. The unit is designed to operate while level. If the unit is
placed on an unlevel surface, refer to section 4.1. Failure to
level the unit may result in leakage or improper drainage.
4. The unit should be hung from the floor joists if there is
any possibility of flooding. A flooded unit is not covered
by warranty.
WARNING!
5.3 Electrical Requirements
The Santa Fe Compact2 plugs into a common grounded outlet
on a 110-120 VAC 15-Amp circuit. While operating, it draws
5.1 amps @ 80°F, 60% RH and 4.5 amps @ 70°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.
5.4 Condensate (Water) Removal
The Santa Fe Compact2 drains via gravity, therefore, it does not
have the ability to push condensate (water) upwards. The drain
hose must run down towards the drain location. Condensate
can be drained by using the 5/8” clear vinyl hose and the 3/4”
threaded adapter provided. Ensure the threaded adapter is
threaded in tightly.
CAUTION!
The Santa Fe Compact2 requires a drain trap. Creating a drain
trap allows a small amount of water to build up in the trap area
of the clear hose. This prevents air from back flowing through
the hose and into the dehumidifier; essentially causing the unit
to backflow water out of the corners of the machine. Position
the trap in the hose approximately 8"-10” from the dehumidi-
fier and make sure the highest point of the trap is still at least
2”below the black drain port adapter on the dehumidifier. If the
highest point of the trap is above the drain port, water will back
