Drain Installation The Santa Fe Classic generates condensate. A 6' condensate hose comes attached to the unit.

Rigid PVC tubing is readily available from your local hardware store. Be sure the extension is at a downward slope to the drain.
Operation 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.
Air Filtration The Santa Fe Classic is equipped with a MERV-13 air filter (89-90% ASHRAE dust spot). An optional MERV-11 filter is available at www.ThermastorFilters.com. The MERV-13 filter should be checked and replaced every three to six months. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency.
