Santa Fe Rx Installation & Operation Instructions
Items Included in Box:
• Santa Fe Rx Dehumidifier
• Santa Fe Rx Installation & Operation Instructions
Important Precautions
• The Santa Fe Rx is most effective if it is centrally located in the space to be dehumidified.
• It is designed to be placed with its back 3' (ft.) or more from a wall (the air outlet is located at the lower portion of the
back). This will reduce noise and the likelihood that discharge air will blow directly at someone. Avoid directing the
discharge air at people. The dehumidifier should be used in the upright position.
• Do not place the unit where curtains or debris can be drawn into the intake and restrict airflow.
• The device is designed to be installed indoors, ideally in a living space or basement, that is protected from rain and flooding.
• Do not operate in standing water or place the unit near open water. If used near a water source; be certain there is no
chance the unit could fall into the water or get splashed and that it is plugged into a dedicated circuit and Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected outlet.
• The water removed by the Santa Fe Rx will be pumped through the 20' long hose coming from under its base. The hose
(about the diameter of a TV coaxial cable) must be routed to a drain or outside. It can pump condensate 15' above the
unit and can be extended.
• Install the unit with enough space to access the rear panel, the discharge air flow side of the unit for maintenance and
service.
• The top can serve as a light duty table (maximum load: 20 lbs.), but it must be removed periodically to check the air filter.
• DO NOT use the dehumidifier as a bench or table.
• DO NOT place the dehumidifier directly on structural building members without vibration absorbers or unwanted noise
may result.
Location Considerations
• Locate the dehumidifier near a suitable drain (drain
hose included). Allow for proper drainage and
routing of needed drain pipes.
• Locate the dehumidifier in an area where the cord’s
length (10') 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 sufficient clearance to handle the unit’s overall
dimensions as well as any optional return and supply
ductwork to the unit.
• Allow sufficient clearance for filter removal and to
prevent airflow obstruction.
• Electrical service access will require the removal of
the front panel. Allow sufficient clearance around
the unit.
