1. 7 Maintenance AWARNING NOTE Do not operate the unit without the filter or with a less effective filter The heat exchange coils inside the unit could become clogged and require disassembly to clean 7 1 Air Filter The Santa Fe HC ships with a pleated fabric filter standard This should be checked monthly Operating the unit with a dirty filter will reduce dehumidifier capacity and efficiency and may cause the compressor to cycle on and off unnecessarily The pleated fabric filter can generally be vacuumed clean several times before needing replacement Replacement filters can be ordered from the factory To order a replacement filter refer to the options and accessories table in this document 7 2 Blower Oiling The blower motor has been lubricated at the factory for many years of normal operation 8 Service IMPORTANT WARNING Servicing the Santa Fe HC with its high pressure refrigerant system and high voltage circuitry presents a health hazard which could result in death serious bodily injury and or property damage Only qualified service people should service this unit 8 1 Technical Description The Santa Fe HC uses a refrigeration system similar to an air conditioner s to remove heat and moisture from incoming air and add heat to the air that is discharged Hot high pressure refrigerant gas is routed from the compressor to the condenser coil The refrigerant is cooled and condensed by giving up its heat to t2. Conditioned Space Output 4 1C In A Remote Area Duct Inlet amp Outlet Fig 6 It is often desirable especially in recreational rooms and finished areas to install the Santa Fe HC in an adjacent equipment room or unfinished area Air is transferred between the humid room and the unit via ducting The factory mounted humidity control on the Santa Fe HC cabinet may not sense the humidity in the humid room accurately enough with this installation method If so a remote humidity control can be mounted in the humid room and wired to the Santa Fe HC Refer to the optional equipment table in this document Local electrical codes must be followed when wiring the control Figure 6 Installation in a remote area with ducted inlet and outlet Santa Fe HC Owners Manual 3 4 1D In A Remote Area Duct Outlet Only Fig 7 Remote A simplified remote installation method than above Humidity 1 uses ducting between the Santa Fe HC discharge Comto and the humid room the Santa Fe HC inlet draws air a Conditioned S from the room in which it s located This works well if e Output there is an adequate air flow path between the two rooms e g high door undercut louvered door or wall grill This eliminates the need to remote mount the humidity control AWARNING Before installing the dehumidifier in the manner described in section 4 1D Fig 7 call the factory for specific instruction if backdra
