Important 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.

How To Use

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.

	Figure C.					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.
