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.

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.

ELECTROLUX ELFE4222WH - Electrical Installation - 1

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

  • This appliance MUST be properly grounded. Electrical shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded. Follow the instructions in this manual for proper grounding.
  • Do not use an extension cord with this dryer. Some extension cords are not designed to withstand the amounts of electrical 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 requirements in this manual for the proper power cord to be purchased.

ELECTROLUX ELFE4222WH - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD - 1

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 receptacle 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.

ELECTROLUX ELFE4222WH - ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD - 1

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.

ELECTROLUX ELFE4222WH - NOTE - 1

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

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 system 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 qualified electrician.
