Do not use this product outdoors or expose it to weather or elements.
– Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route the cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where 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 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 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 [email protected] (email) for further instructions about replacement and repair.
– 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 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 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 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 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 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. 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

1. Using the product controls, turn off the appliance.

2. Grasp the plug (not the cord) and disconnect from the outlet.

3. 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.

4. 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).

5. Remove fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the fuse (See 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 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.

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.
