To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to repair or replace parts. Only original replacement parts may be used. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Contact Vornado Consumer Service at 1-800-234-0604 (phone) or consumerservice@vornado.com (email) for further instructions about replacement and repair.
• Risk of fire. Your appliance is equipped with a detachable power supply. Use only the power cord and plug provided. The detachable external power supply and cord have no user-replaceable parts. If the power supply or cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Use only the Vornado detachable external power supply and cord that comes with your product.
• 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.
• 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 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.
• The product may be hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Always allow the appliance to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving, refilling, or emptying it. Empty all water and dry the unit before storing.
