User Servicing Instructions

Your Vornado Air Circulator 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.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not use this product with
any solid state speed control device. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock and
injury to persons, do not use in a window. This product employs overload protection
(fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuit 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.

Feature

With push-button multiple speed controls, any
circulation need will be met.

Timer is easily set to turn off the Tower fan in 1, 2, 4,
or 8 hours. Selected timer setting will be indicated by
a small blue LED

Solid base design eliminates the typical wobble of
common tower fans.

Remote control adds convenience, and stores easily
atop the fan using a magnetic cradle.

Saves 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.

1. Assemble the two base halves together. Position the base half with
the alignment pin, over the other base half with the alignment
sockets. Press the two halves together until flush. (See figure A.)

2. Assemble the base to the tower bottom. With the tower on its side,
align the 4 base sockets onto the tower bottom pins. Note; one of the
4 pins is “D” shaped to allow it to fit only one way. With the base in
position, secure the base bottom to the tower with the 4 Phillip
screws provided. Tighten the screws securely but do not over tighten.

speed, press the timer button until the desired run time light is illuminated.
The unit will continue to run until that amount of time has expired.

REMOTE CONTROL This unit comes with a remote control. The remote
control functions are the same as the control panel on the unit. The remote
requires a line-of-sight path to allow for the signal to be received by the unit.
Position the unit so the receiver lens is visible from the remote control. The
remote control can be stored with the Tower Circulator using the magnetic
bowl-shaped cradle located on the top of the product.

REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY The remote control comes with a 3 Volt
lithium coin cell battery (CR2032). To install, remove the battery cover on the
bottom of the remote control. Remove any plastic protection from the battery
and place it in the remote with the + side facing out. Then reposition the
cover onto the bottom of the remote. If your remote no longer works, please
try replacing with a new 3 Volt CR2032 battery.

1. Position your Tower Air Circulator so the air-stream has an
unobstructed path from one side of the room to the other,
or position the air-stream to blow directly at you for direct
cooling. Note: The Vornado logo indicates the center point

of the V-Flow™ airstream, and can be used as a reference
point for positioning the product in the room. See Figure C.

2. Set to a medium speed and allow a few minutes for an
airflow pattern to be established. (Different airflow patterns
can be established by changing the location, and speed of
the Air Circulator.)

3. Adjust the speed accordingly until a desired comfort level
is achieved. You will quickly determine the precise amount
of circulation required to maintain your personal comfort in
a given room for the prevailing temperature and humidity
conditions. Once you discover the added comfort of air
circulation, you will use your Vornado Tower Air Circulator
season after season.
