This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk electric shock. This machine is equipped with a cord having an equipment – rounding conductor and grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This appliance is for use on a nominal 115-volt circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A.

WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Operating instructions

1. Plug in to a standard outlet with the correct voltage and amperage for the unit.
2. Use only on GFCI protected recepticles
3. Place the dryer in the desired operating position.

Daisy Chained
The unit can be daisy chained with up to 4 units on a dedicated 15 amp circuit with the built in power outlet.

BUILT-IN POWER OUTLET CAN DAISY CHAIN 4 PDH2 UNITS TOGETHER

WARNING!
When daisy chaining units, each unit is controlled separately. The daisy chained units are not controlled by the master unit that is plugged into the wall outlet. Even with the master unit switch in the OFF position, any daisy chained unit(s) will still have power and may be turned ON.

The circuit breaker controls both the fan and the outlet. If the circuit breaker trips while units are daisy chained, remove some of the down stream units, then push in Reset button on circuit breaker. A maximum of 3 units may be daisy chained off of 1 unit for a total of 4 units per circuit.
