flow into the dehumidifier. Check the hose regularly to ensure
water is draining properly.
Several trap options include:
For additional information on how to create a proper trap,
see our instructional video at:
www.Santa-Fe-Products.com/draintrap
Use care to keep the hose as flat to the floor as possible
after your trap is in place. Be sure the hose is not kinked or
otherwise restricted so water can pass through the hose
freely. Improper installation of the drain hose may result in
water leakage.
If the Santa Fe Compact2 is located too far from the floor
drain and the provided hose does not reach, you may use a
1/2” PVC rigid pipe to extend the drain. Rigid PVC tubing is
readily available from your local hardware store. Be sure the
extension is at a down-word slope to the drain.
An optional condensate pump kit may be installed if lift is
required to remove condensate. To order, contact your local
dealer or visit our website at www.santa-fe-products.com.

6. Operation
6.1 Humidity Control Adjustment
The humidity control is an adjustable switch that turns
the dehumidifier on and off. It turns on when the relative
humidity (RH) rises to the dial set point. It turns off when the
RH is within ±5% of the set point.
Approximate Humidity Levels Per Setting
“Drier”
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 RH is
reduced to the humidity control dial setting. It is not
recommended to set the humidity control to “dry” in rooms
under 65°; doing so will result in long periods of ineffective
dehumidifier run time.
To turn unit on, turn the humidity dial clockwise to the
recommended “NORMAL” position and set fan control to “FAN
AUTO.” To turn the unit off, turn the humidity dial counter
clockwise to the “OFF” position and set fan control to “FAN
AUTO.”
The Humidity Alert
™
(4026208)
is
available to accurately monitor humidity
levels. Please contact your dealer or call
1-800-533-7533 to order.
6.2 Defrost Cycle
This product includes a defrost thermostat. This feature
prevents internal damage caused by excessive frost forming
within the unit. When the unit is experiencing excessive frost
the system will stop dehumidfying and the fan will run until
normal operating conditions are present.
6.3 Fan Operation
Turning the fan switch “FAN 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 “FAN AUTO”
will cause the unit’s internal blower to run only while the unit
is dehumidifying.
7. Maintenance
CAUTION!
NOTE: Do not operate the unit without the proper filters.
The heat exchange coils inside the unit could become
clogged, resulting in a loss of effectiveness and/or
efficiency and may require disassembly to clean.
7.1 Air Filters
The Santa Fe Compact2 is equipped with a standard MERV-
8 65% 1" pleated fabric filter and a 1/4" aluminum framed
pre-filter. Operating the unit with a dirty or obstructed filter
will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency, and may
cause the compressor to cycle on and off unnecessarily.
7.2 Cleaning Pre-filter
Check filter every six months. Clean and/or replace when
filters are visibly dirty. Replacement filters can be ordered
from your dealer or by calling 1-800-533-7533.
The 1/4" washable pre-filter should not to be discarded.
Inspect for debris, dirt, or other obstructions. Wash the 1/4"
