Drain Installation The Santa Fe Compact70 generates condensate. Place a secondary drain pan under the dehumidifier if it is suspended above a finished area or above an area where water leakage could cause damage. A drain trap is required for the dehumidifier to run properly. Install a 3/4" threaded male NPT adapter to the drain or drain pan if one is being used. Install a drain pipe assembly utilizing 3/4" PVC pipe to transport the condensate to a drain. Pitch of drain should be 1" per 10'.

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.
PAGE 7
Air Filtration The Santa Fe Compact70 is equipped with a pre-filter and a MERV-13 air filter (89-90% ASHRAE dust spot). An optional MERV-8 or MERV-11 filter is available at www.thermastorfilters.com. The filters should be checked and replaced every three to six months. Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency. DO NOT operate the unit without a MERV-8, MERV-11 or MERV-13 filter. Filter non-compliance voids the product warranty.
