ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1). It is recommended that a dedicated electrical outlet be used for the dehumidifier. The product is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It
must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
2). This unit must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
The cord provided with this unit is equipped with a grounding wire and a grounding plug.
3). The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
4). Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting off the third grounding prong in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since it
provides no effective grounding for the product and may result in shock hazard.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the unit is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord, extreme care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle .
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the unit. The longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither Royal Soverign nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the product or personal iniury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection procedures.

STORING THE UNIT
Basements or crawl spaces
Basements are often overridden with moisture. There is often a substantial amount of moisture coming through the concrete. For a basement, it is recommended to
keep moisture at least under 65% although the optimal room humidity would be between 40%-50%.
Bedrooms
For some people having too much humidity in their bedroom is very uncomfortable. It also affects a lot of people with asthma and allergies, some to the point where
it decreases their qu ality of sleep. The healthy humidity level for a bedroom is between 40% and 60%, although the recommended dehumidifier settings should be
between 40% and 50%.
