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.

Your new dryer is a condensation, ventless dryer and DOES NOT require exhaust venting that exhausts the drying process air to the outside.

Important Safety Instructions 3
WARNING
Please read all instructions before using this dryer.
Recognize Safety Symbols, Words and Labels
Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a WARNING or CAUTION based on the risk type as described below:
Definitions
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death.
DANGER
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
IMPORTANT
Indicates installation, operation, or maintenance information which is important but not hazard-related.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using this dryer, comply with the basic warnings listed below. Failure to comply with the Important Safety Instruction warnings could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Prevent Fire
•DO NOT dry items that have been previously cleaned in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline, cleaning solvents, kerosene, waxes, or other flammable or explosive substances. DO NOT store these items on or near the dryer. These substances give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
•DO NOT place items exposed to cooking oils in your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load to catch fire. To reduce the risk of fire due to contaminated loads, the final part of a tumble dryer cycle occurs without heat (cool down period). Avoid stopping a tumble dryer before the end of the drying cycle unless all items are quickly removed and spread out so that the heat is dissipated.
•DO NOT dry articles containing rubber, plastic or similar materials such as bras, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants, plastic bags and pillows that may melt or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated, can under certain circumstances produce fire by spontaneous combustion.
•DO NOT dry items containing feathers or down, foam rubber, plastics similarly textured, rubber-like materials.
•DO NOT operate the dryer if the lint screen is blocked, damaged or missing. Fire hazard,
overheating and damage to fabrics can occur.
WARNING
FIRE HAZARD
Clean the lint screen before or after each load. The interior of the dryer, lint screen housing and exhaust duct should be cleaned approximately every 18 months by qualified service personnel. An excessive amount of lint build-up in these areas could result in inefficient drying and possible fire. See Care and Cleaning.
•DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilating air. DO NOT stack or place laundry or throw rugs against the front or back of the dryer.
•DO NOT spray any type of aerosol into, on or near dryer at any time.
•DO NOT use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.
4 Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
DO NOT continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
•Failure to comply with these warnings could result in fire, explosion, serious bodily injury and/or damage to the dryer.
Protect Children
•DO NOT allow children to play on or in the dryer. Close supervision of children is necessary when the dryer is used near children. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
•Destroy the carton, plastic bag and other packing materials after the dryer is unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become airtight chambers.
•Keep laundry products out of children’s reach. To prevent personal injury, observe all warnings on product labels.
•Before the dryer is removed from service or discarded, remove the dryer door to prevent accidental entrapment.
•Failure to comply with these warnings could result in serious personal injuries.
Prevent Injury
•To prevent shock hazard and assure stability during operation, the dryer must be installed and electrically grounded by a qualified service person in accordance with local codes. Installation instructions are packed in the dryer for the installer’s reference. Refer to
Installation Instructions for detailed grounding procedures. If the dryer is moved to a new location, have it checked and reinstalled by a qualified service person.
•ALWAYS disconnect the dryer from the electrical supply before attempting any service or cleaning. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or injury.
WARNING
FIRE/ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. DO NOT use an adaptor plug or extension cord or remove grounding prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this warning can cause serious injury, fire, or death.

6 Operating Instructions
Normal Operating Sounds
You may or may not hear the following sounds from your new dryer:
A.SUSPENSION ROLLERS The dryer drum is supported by a set of suspension rollers. At times there may be a thumping or rolling sound when the dryer starts. This may happen if the dryer has not been in use for a period of time, or after a heavy load has remained in the dryer drum for an extended period, creating a temporary flat spot on the edge of the roller. The noise should dissipate as the dryer operates and the flat spots smooth out.
B.AIR FLOW SYSTEM Your dryer is equipped with a high volume air handling system. In some installations there may be some sounds associated with air movement throughout the dryer. This is normal and can vary with load size and type.
A
B
CAUTION
Do not continue to use the dryer if you hear squeaking, grinding, rubbing or other unusual noises. This could be a sign of mechanical breakdown and lead to fire or serious injury. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
IMPORTANT
If installing the dryer in a closet, the closet door must remain open while the dryer is running to allow correct air circulation. This condensation process requires access to cool air from the room.
