Air Filtration
The Santa Fe Compact70 is equipped with a pre-lter and a MERV-13 air lter (89-90% ASHRAE dust spot). An optional
MERV-8 or MERV-11 lter is available at www.thermastorlters.com. The lters should be checked and replaced every
three to six months. Operating the unit with a dirty lter will reduce dehumidier capacity and efciency.
DO NOT operate the unit without a MERV-8, MERV-11 or MERV-13 lter. Filter non-compliance voids the product warranty.
Changing the Filter
For greatest ltration and efciency of the Santa Fe Compact70, it is recommended the air lters be replaced
every three to six months.
Step 1 - Removing the Filters:
Remove the 1/4" pre-lter by gently pulling on the bottom of the lter frame.
Remove the MERV-13 lter by gently pulling on the bottom of the lter frame.
Step 2 - Installing the Filters:
Angle the top of the MERV-13 lter and gently slide the lter into the lter slot. Do not force. If resistance is
felt, check alignment for obstructions or debris inside the lter housing. Be sure the arrows on the lter are
facing into the dehumidier.
Angle the top of the pre-lter and gently slide the lter into the lter slot (in front of the MERV-13 lter).
Do not force. If resistance is felt, check alignment for obstructions or debris inside the lter housing.
CAUTION!
MAKE SURE UNIT IS OFF BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW FILTER HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS MAY
RESULT IN IMPROPER FUNCTION OF THE DEHUMIDIFIER AND CAUSE PREMATURE FILTER WEAR OR UNIT DAMAGE.
