SAFE USE WARNING —To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, observe the following:

• WARNING : To reduce the likelihood of circuit overload, fire, and electric shock, do not operate with a solid-state speed device, such as a dimmer control switch.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard the fan or return it to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
• Do not operate the unit if the unit has been dropped or damaged. Do not use this product if it has a damaged power cord or plugs. To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to repair or replace parts. Only original replacement parts may be used.

Contact Vornado Consumer Service at 1-800-234-0604 (phone) or consumerservice@vornado.com (email) for further instructions about replacement and repair.
• Before plugging the power cord into an electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is compatible with your outlet’s power supply.
• Do not sit or stand on the product.
• Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain, or stretch the power cord.
• While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any input or output opening as this may cause a risk of electric shock or fire, or damage to the product.
• A loose fit between the wall outlet (receptacle) and the plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you also stop the oscillating function and just keep it a fixed steady stream of cool air?

Yes, the fan can be operated without the oscillation function.

What is the oscillating degree?

I think it has roughly 75 degrees of maximum oscillation.

Will it work with a smart plug?

Could not get it to link w/ Alexa after two days of trying.

Does it come with an ir or rf remote?

Since the remote must be pointed directly at the sensor on the front/top of the fan, and according to the instructions in the manual, I must conclude the remote is Infrared (IR).

How do i set this to turn off after 12 hours?

There is a timer function that you would press on the unit itself for times of 3/6/9/12 Hours.

How hard is the fan to assemble?

It is not at all hard. It took me a few minutes (5 - 10 at most) to do it by myself. Putting it together just involves attaching the pieces of the base to the fan. The fan works very well.

Are there lights on this fan and do they turn off?

Yes. They are very dim. They do not turn off but I am sensitive to light at night and they do not bother me.

Can this be easily cleaned?

The best way to clean is with a vacuum and canned air. Same as you would use on computer keyboards. You may also use a clean dry paintbrush.

Does google nest have support?

The unit is designed to work with the Alexa app only.

Does it work with Alexa?

No, it does not, you can get a smart outlet and have it work with Alexa by turning it off and then on.

Does it have ion blue button?

There are no buttons - the entire device is powered by touch. The device lights up with an LED that automatically brightens and dims based on the amount of light in the room and it’s not noticeable unless you are staring at it.
