Thank you for choosing an Electrolux

Compact Ventless Dryer. This dryer operates

on a different drying principle than traditional

exhaust ducted dryers. Your new dryer is a

condensation, ventless dryer and DOES NOT

require exhaust venting that exhausts the

drying process air to the outside.

A condensation dryer works through a closed

loop circuit. The drying process air is heated

by an internal heating element, which then

passes over and through your clothes. The

moisture rich air proceeds down through a lint

ﬁlter, then through an air-air heat exchanger

that works as a condenser. The warm, wet

air is cooled by a separate secondary fan that

utilizes ambient room air. When the process

air cools down, it releases moisture that is

collected in a recovery basin at the bottom

of the appliance. The water can be either

pumped down the drain by the provided kit, or

pumped directly into a tank that needs to be

emptied after each drying cycle.

IMPORTANT

Your new dryer is a condensation, ventless

dryer and DOES NOT require exhaust

venting that exhausts the drying process air

to the outside.

Electrical Requirements

for Electric Dryer

NOTE

Because of potentially inconsistent voltage

capabilities, the use of this dryer with power

created by gas powered generators, solar

powered generators, wind powered genera-

tors or any other generator other than the local

utility company is not recommended.

IMPORTANT

This dryer is internally grounded to neu-

tral unless it was manufactured for sale in

Canada.

Only a 4-conductor cord shall be used when

the appliance is installed in a location where

grounding through the neutral conductor is

prohibited. Grounding through the neutral

link is prohibited for: (1) new branch circuit

installations, (2) mobile homes, (3) recre-

ational vehicles, and (4) areas where local

codes do not permit grounding through the

neutral.

OUTLET RECEPTACLE - NEMA 10-30R or

NEMA 14-30R receptacle to be located so

the power supply cord is accessible when

the dryer is in the installed position.

GROUNDING CONNECTION - See

“Grounding requirements” in Electrical

Installation section.

NOTE

Dryers manufactured for sale in Canada have

factory-installed, 4-wire power supply cord

(NEMA 14-30).

CIRCUIT - Individual 30 amp. branch circuit

fused with 30 amp. time delay fuses or

circuit breakers. Use separately fused

circuits for washer and dryer. DO NOT

Installation Instructions

Electrical Installation

The following are speciﬁc requirements for

proper and safe electrical installation of your

dryer. Failure to follow these instructions can

create electrical shock and/or a ﬁre hazard.

Grounding Requirements -

Electric Dryer (USA)

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the

event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of electrical

shock by a path of least resistance for

electrical current.

2. After purchase and installation of a 3-wire

or 4-wire power supply cord having an

equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug matching the wiring sys-

tem of the location of installation, the plug

MUST be plugged into an appropriate,

copper wired receptacle that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances. If in

doubt, call a licensed electrician.

3. DO NOT modify the plug you’ve installed

on this appliance. If it will not ﬁt the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a

qualiﬁed electrician.

Grounding Requirements -

Electric Dryer (Canada)

For a grounded, cord-connected dryer:

1. The dryer MUST be grounded. In the

event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding will reduce the risk of electrical

shock by a path of least resistance for

electrical current.

2. Since your dryer is equipped with a

power supply cord having an equipment-

grounding conductor and a grounding

plug, the plug must be plugged into an

appropriate outlet that is properly installed

and grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances. If in doubt, call a

licensed electrician.

3. DO NOT modify the plug provided with

this appliance. If it will not ﬁt the outlet,

have a proper outlet installed by a quali-

ﬁed electrician.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

• This appliance MUST be properly

grounded. Electrical shock can result if

the dryer is not properly grounded. Fol-

low the instructions in this manual for

proper grounding.

• Do not use an extension cord with this

dryer. Some extension cords are not de-

signed to withstand the amounts of elec-

trical current this dryer utilizes and can

melt, creating electrical shock and/or ﬁre

hazard. Locate the dryer within reach of

the receptacle for the length power cord

to be purchased, allowing some slack in

the cord. Refer to the pre-installation re-

quirements in this manual for the proper

power cord to be purchased.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

• A U.L.-approved strain relief must be

installed onto power cord. If the strain

relief is not attached, the cord can be

pulled out of the dryer and can be cut by

any movement of the cord, resulting in

electrical shock.

• Do not use an aluminum wired recepta-

cle with a copper wired power cord and

plug (or vice versa). A chemical reaction

occurs between copper and aluminum

and can cause electrical shorts. The

proper wiring and receptacle is a copper

wired power cord with a copper wired

receptacle

.

NOTE

The electric dryer has been designed and

certiﬁed to operate at both 240V and 208V.

Drying times on a 208V power supply will,

however, be approximately 20% longer than

drying times on a 240V power supply. This is

normal and expected behavior and applies to

all drying cycles.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment

grounding conductor can result in a risk of

electrical shock. Check with a licensed elec-

trician if you are in doubt as to whether the

appliance is properly grounded.

Installation Instructions

Direct Drain Kit (on some

models)

If your model included a direct drain kit, you

may follow the instructions below to install it

on your dryer for convenient drainage of your

dryer’s condensed water.

1. Locate the red tubing and plastic ﬁtting on

the back of the dryer.

2. With a pair of pliers, release the hose

clamp and remove the tubing from the

plastic ﬁtting.

NOTE

If you have an Electrolux compact dryer model

number ELFE4222AW or ELFE422CAW, you

may choose to power your Electrolux compact

washer through it as shown. See illustrations.

WARNING

NOT A GENERAL USE RECEPTACLE! Only

for use with compatible Electrolux washer

models listed in this Use & Care Guide. Keep

the outlet closed if a compatible Electrolux

washer plug is not connected to the dryer.

the kit, secure the elbow and tubes to the

plastic ﬁtting.

6. To route the drain tube to the left of the

dryer, secure the tube with the “P” clamp

from the kit to the back of the dryer with

the cabinet screw shown below.

7. To route the drain tube to the right of the

dryer, route the tube across the back of

the dryer and snap it into the “C” clips

shown as below.

8. Install the hose hanger from the kit onto

the end of the hose and insert in drain.

IMPORTANT

Follow these guidelines for proper drain

hose installation:

1. The distance from the bottom of the

drain tube sag to the top of highest part

of drain tube should be no more than

20” (50 cm).

2. Drain tube may need to be shortened

with scissors if sag is greater than

allowed.

3. The drain height location should be

no more than 40” (100 cm) above the

bottom of the dryer feet.

Installation Instructions

General Installation

1. Use a carpenter’s level to level your dryer

front-to-back and side-to-side.

IMPORTANT

Be sure the power is off at a circuit breaker/

fuse box before plugging the power cord

into an outlet.

3. Press down on alternate corners and

sides and feel for the slightest movement.

Adjust the appropriate leg(s) so the dryer

sits solidly on the ﬂoor on ALL four legs.

Keep the leveling leg extension at a mini-

mum for best performance of the dryer.

5. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker/

fuse box.

6. Read the Use & Care Guide provided with

the dryer. It contains valuable and helpful

information that will save you time and

money.

7. If you have any questions during initial

operation, please review the “Avoid

Service Checklist” in your Use & Care

Guide before calling for service.

8. Place these instructions in a location

near the dryer for future reference.

2. Use adjustable pliers or universal appli-

ance wrench (See Accessories) to adjust

the leveling legs so the dryer is level

front-to-rear and side-to-side, and stable

corner-to-corner.

4. Plug the power cord into a grounded

outlet.

NOTE

A wiring diagram is located next to the water

container behind the left cabinet panel.
