Introduction
The Glide is likely to stand out in your home with its contemporary steel base and natural hardwood feet. For individualized comfort, the adjustable axis tilts 20 degrees. When you combine that with Vornado’s effective vortex circulation, your space will stay sultry and fashionable no matter how cold it gets outside. To ensure worry-free use, this entire room heater is outfitted with cutting-edge safety features, such as a tip-over switch that instantly turns off the heat and power if the device tips over. The Glide’s distinctive design by Vornado ensures that it stays cool to the touch even after prolonged use. Additionally, the Glide comes with a 5-year limited warranty to ensure worry-free warmth season after season.
SAFETY FEATURES
CONTROLS
HOW TO USE
Before use, check appliance for visible damage. DO NOT USE THIS HEATER if there is evidence of damage. If any damage is found, contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.
- Position heater so airflow is not obstructed.
- Plug power cord into standard grounded wall outlet.
- GLIDE HEAT has an adjustable axis to direct the airflow where you want it. Adjust the tilt up to 20 degrees by sliding the easy-to-adjust head.
- The heater has rear-mounted controls. Use the toggle switch to select Low Heat or High Heat. Red power indicator light located on front of heater (at top of the heater inserted between the grill and housing) illuminates to indicate the heater is On. Set thermostat knob to highest setting by turning clockwise. When room reaches desired comfort level, turn thermostat knob slowly counterclockwise until heat cycles off.
- If heater tips over, power will be cut to the heater. The red indicator light will not illuminate until you position the heater back in upright position and power is restored.
CLEANING
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. Cleaning the outside of the heater is recommended on a weekly basis. If service is required, return your heater to Vornado. (See WARRANTY for instructions.)
- Unplug heater before cleaning.
- Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust-off Air Inlets on the back of heater.
You should periodically blow out the heater with pressurized air to keep heat element and motor clear of dust, hair and debris that can build up inside the heater as it moves air during use. This also eliminates unwanted odors caused by accumulation of these particles inside the unit.
- Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust-off Front Outlet Grill.
- Wipe down entire heater with a soft, dry cloth.
NOTE: Do not modify this product with any aftermarket accessory.
STORAGE
During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may choose to store your heater. To ensure long life of the product, it is recommended to store your heater by following these instructions:
Cleaning is recommended before storage.
- Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
- Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents heater from accumulating dust over time.
- Store heater in cool and dry location.
RESET HEATER
RESETTING YOUR VORNADO HEATER
Your Vornado Heater has a multilevel safety shut-off system designed to prevent overheating. Overheating may occur when the inlets or outlet are blocked. If this happens, the safety shut-off system cuts power to the heater and you must manually reset the heater.
- Power heater off, then unplug power cord.
- Remove any obstructions.
- Wait 5–10 minutes, allowing heater to cool down.
- Plug in power cord and place heater in desired position.
- Power heater On. Your Vornado Heater should now function normally.
Note: If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off your heater or if it will not reset after following the above procedure, call Vornado Consumer Services Department toll-free at 1-800-234-0604.
