INSTALLATION WARNING —To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, observe the following:
-
Place this product away from curtains, draperies, tablecloths, and other fabrics, since they may be drawn into the fan, damage the motor, and/or cause a fire.
-
No part of this product (the appliance, power cord, plug, packaging, etc.) should be placed near furnaces, fireplaces, stoves, or other high-temperature heat sources. Do not use this product in a window, on an uneven or unstable surface, or near water.
-
The appliance, power supply, power cord, and plug cannot come into contact with water. Do not use this product on wet surfaces.
Do not use this product in a bathtub or shower or position the product where it may fall into a bathtub, laundry, swimming pool, or another water container. Do not use this product outdoors or expose it to weather or elements. -
Do not run the cord under the carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route the cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange the cord away from the traffic area so that it will not be tripped over. The cord should not hang over the edges of counters or be placed where it can be crimped or closed indoors. Place the appliance near an easily accessible outlet so the product can be unplugged quickly during an emergency.
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 plug. 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).
- Risk of fire. Your appliance may be equipped with a detachable power supply or a cord/plug with a safety device such as a fuse. Use only the power cord and plug provided.
- Before plugging a 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 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 electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Before moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning and when not in use, use the product controls to turn off the power and then unplug. To disconnect from the outlet, grasp and pull only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will be left unattended for an extended period of time or during electrical storms.
SERVICING WARNING —To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and injury to persons, observe the following:
- Clean your product regularly, only as instructed in this manual. Prior to cleaning, turn off the power on your product and unplug it. Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonia, or other chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided.
- Do not open appliance housing. To avoid the risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done by a Vornado Authorized Service Center.
- This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuits situation. If the fuse blows, unplug the product from the outlet. Replace the fuse as per the user servicing instructions (follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit
maybe present and the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
User Servicing Instructions
- Using the product controls, turn off the appliance.
- Grasp the plug (not the cord) and disconnect from the outlet.
- Risk of Fire. Replace fuse only with 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse as approved by Vornado Consumer Service. For an authorized replacement fuse, please contact Vornado Consumer Service.
- Once the replacement is received, use a small flat-head screwdriver to slide open the fuse cover (located on the plug) (See next page, Fig. A).
- Remove the fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the fuse (See next page, Fig. B).
- 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.
- 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).
- Plug your appliance into the outlet and turn the power on.
- 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.
Risk of fire. Do not replace the attachment plug. Contains a safety device
(fuse, AFCI, LCDI) that should not be removed. Discard the product if the
attachment plug is damaged.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FEATURES
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.
CLEANING
GRILL REMOVAL
Screwdriver required. 
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons,
unplug the circulator before removing the grill.
- Remove the 6 screws located on the back of the inlet grill, at roughly 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 o’clock positions, to release the Front Grill.
- Dust or wash Front Grill with mild dishwashing soap. Do not place the grill in the dishwasher. Excessive heat can distort the plastic.
- To reattach – position the Front Grill so the Vornado logo in the center of the Front Grill is straight. Replace all the screws.
Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Grill and Air Inlets.
Note: The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
CLEANING
BLADE REMOVAL
Pliers required.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons,
unplug the circulator before removing the blade.
- First, remove the nut from the shaft by turning the nut clockwise to loosen it. Remove the washer. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft.
- 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 the blade in the dishwasher. Excessive heat can distort the plastic.
- 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 the washer and nut.
