Installation of a Santa Fe Classic
With a Supply and Return Duct Kit
Recommended Installations
• Place the Santa Fe Classic in the unnished area of
the basement, near a drain access (condensate will
drain via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
• Using the supply duct collar, supply the dry air
from the dehumidier into a large, open area in
the nished section of the basement.
• Place a return grill / passive vent on the other side
of the wall that separates the nished and unnished
areas. This will allow for a circular air flow
throughout the basement.
• The passive grill will prevent the unnished room
from being placed under a negative pressure and
also allow the dehumidier to focus on keeping the
unnished area dry as well.
• The onboard dehumidistat control can be used
on the unit for this application or a 120 volt
dehumidistat can be placed in the nished basement
as well (we recommend using an electrician to run
the wiring).
• Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms
in the basement to help with proper air circulation
(bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.)
• Place the Santa Fe Classic in the unnished area of
the basement, near a drain access (condensate will
drain via gravity or with an optional pump kit).
• Using the supply and return duct kit, supply the dry
air from the dehumidier into a large, open area of the
nished basement. Use the return duct kit to draw air
back through the dehumidier.
• Be sure the return and supply are at least 10 feet
away from each other for proper air flow throughout
the basement. Add a passive grill between the
nished and unnished areas (*or have a 2” gap
under the door separating the two rooms). This
will help keep the unnished area dry as well.
• Use the 120 volt, wall mounted dehumidistat for this
installation for proper run time on the dehumidier
(we recommend using an electrician to install the
separate 120 volt control).
• Be sure to keep all doors open to any other rooms
in the basement to help with proper air circulation
(bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.)
