5. Remove fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the fuse (See Next Page, Fig. B).

6. Install the replacement fuse by using the screwdriver to gently push each metal end of the fuse into the receptacle one at a time. Do not push on the center of the fuse—it is fragile and may break.

7. Slide the fuse cover closed using the screwdriver. When closed, the cover should fit completely in the plug. No part of the cover should stick out (See Next Page, Fig. C).

8. Plug your appliance into the outlet and turn the power on.

9. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

WHOLE ROOM CIRCULATION

The Vornado’s signature Whole Room Circulation delivers continuous, uniform air circulation to the entire room. Cool only the rooms that you are in and not the entire house.

MAXIMIZE YOUR COOLING EFFICIENCY
A Vornado circulates all the air in the room so everyone is comfortable. Air in motion feels cooler than air that is stagnant. By providing whole room circulation, a Vornado allows you to turn the thermostat up 5°F – saving energy and money – without sacrificing comfort.

FEATURES

TIP
Save energy by maximizing the performance of heating and cooling systems. When you use a Vornado Air Circulator, you will not have to set your summertime thermostat as low or your wintertime thermostat as high. Refer to page 9 for further details.

CIRCULATION 101

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VORNADO – ALL YEAR LONG
With Vornado Air Circulators, you can save money on energy bills by adjusting your thermostat several degrees and still maintaining the same comfort level.

HOW TO USE
Before use, check appliance for visible damage. DO NOT USE THIS CIRCULATOR if there is evidence of damage. If any damage is found, contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.

1. Plug in and position the circulator so airflow is not obstructed.
2. Set desired speed and allow a few minutes for an airflow pattern to be established. Different airflow patterns can be established by changing the location, angle and speed. Adjust until a de-sired comfort level is achieved.

CLEANING

GRILLE REMOVAL (MODELS 160, 560 & 660) Screwdriver required.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing grille.

1. To release the Front Grille, remove the 4 screws located on the back of the inlet grille, located roughly at 2, 5, 7 and 10 o’clock positions.
2. Dust or wash Front Grille with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not place grille in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
3. To reattach – position the Front Grille so the Vornado logo in the center of the Front Grille is straight. Replace all the screws.

TIP
Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Grille and Air Inlets.

GRILLE REMOVAL (MODELS 360 & 460) Screwdriver required.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing grille.

1. Feel for bumps on back of prod-uct, close to inlets, that help to locate screws at roughly 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions. Remove the 4 screws located at these positions, releasing the grille.
2. Dust or wash Front Grille with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not place grille in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
3. To reattach – position the Front Grille so the Vornado logo in the center of the Front Grille is straight. Replace all the screws.

TIP
Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Grille and Air Inlets.

BLADE REMOVAL Pliers recommended.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing blade.

1. First, remove the nut from the shaft by turning the nut clockwise to loosen. Remove the washer. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft.
2. Wipe the Blade with a damp cloth. If your circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents. Do not place blade in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
3. To reattach – be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the corresponding flat side on the blade’s socket. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing damage. Reinstall nut.
