SAFE USE WARNING—To reduce 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 fan or return 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) 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 risk of electric shock or
fire, or damage the product.
– A loose fit between the wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue the 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. 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 risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to
persons, observe the following:
– Clean your product regularly, only as is instructed in this manual. Prior to
cleaning, turn off the power on your product and unplug. Do not use gasoline,
thinners, solvents, ammonia or other chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the
CLEANING instructions provided.
– Do not open appliance housing while the product is plugged in. 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 may be 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 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 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.
