2. Installation

2.1 Location

The Santa Fe Elite is designed to be installed indoors and is 
ideal for unfinished and finished basements. The Santa Fe Elite 
is designed to operate in temperatures between 56° and 95°F. 
Temperatures outside of these ranges will affect dehumidifier 
performance.

In order to efficiently control the humidity levels, the area in which 
the dehumidifier is to be placed must be free of water intrusion or 
excessive fresh (outside) air infiltration. Before installing the Santa Fe 
Elite, water intrusion and air infiltration problems should be addressed.

 

CAUTION! 

•  Installation outdoors or near a pool or spa will void 

factory warranty. 

•  Do not use the dehumidifier as a bench or table.

2.1A In humid area, no ducting.

 

The simplest installation is to place the Santa Fe Elite in the 
humid area with no ducting. The air inlet on top and outlet on
