Whole Room Circulation

Maximize your cooling efficiency.

Typical Fan Vornado Air Circulator

A Vornado circulates all the air in the room so everyone
is comfortable. Air in motion feels cooler than air that is

stagnant. By providing whole room circulation, a Vornado

allows you to turn the thermostat up 5º F - saving energy

and money - without sacrificing comfort.

When To Use – Saves Energy Year-Round

Summer: Use your Air Circulator with your home’s air conditioning system to

create brisk, comforting air movement. This breeze will eliminate stagnant air
and remove body heat to make you feel cooler.

With Vornado Air Circulators, you can save money on energy bills by raising
your thermostat several degrees and still maintaining the same comfort level.

Use with central

or window air

conditioning

Spring & Fall: Your Air Circulator can make the indoors as fresh and pleasant
as the outdoors. Place the Air Circulator near an open window, sliding door or
French door to take full advantage of mild temperatures and seasonal breezes.

How To Use

Operating Tips

1. Position your Air Circulator so the beam of air has an unob-

structed path from one side of the room to the other.

2. Set speed to medium and allow a few minutes for an airflow

pattern to be established. (Different airflow patterns can be
established by changing the location, angle 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 Air Circulator season
after season.

Winter: Position your Air Circulator in a place with unobstructed upward air
movement. Run it only as fast as necessary to lower the heated air from the
ceiling – but not fast enough to create a draft. Or, use your Air Circulator with
other available heat sources (furnace vents, wood stoves or baseboard heat­ers) to circulate their warmth, taking full advantage of all available heat in the
room. Do not point the Air Circulator at open flames.

Grill and Blade Removal

WARNING: To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons,
unplug the Air Circulator before removing the grill.

Grill: Using a phillips head screw­driver, remove grill by unscrew­ing the 4 screws located along
the perimeter of the inlet grill at
roughly 2, 5, 7, and 11 o’clock posi­tions. This will release the grill. To
reattach, position grill so the logo
in the center of the grill is straight.
Models 5303, 6303, 7503, 7803,
align the Locator Pin (A) to reconnect
grill. Once aligned replace screws.
Model 1303, align the Alignment Rib (B) to reconnect grill. Once
aligned replace screws.

Blade: It is possible to remove the blade
should something accidentally get wrapped
around the motor shaft. First, remove the
nut from the shaft. Turn the nut clockwise to
loosen. Pull the blade straight out from the
shaft. When replacing, the blade can only
go on the shaft one way. Be certain the flat
side of the shaft aligns directly with the cor­responding flat side on the blade’s socket.
Push the blade all the way on the shaft until
it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this
could result in bearing damage. Reinstall nut.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Because your Air Circulator moves a substantial amount of air, it will
need regular cleaning. To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to
persons, unplug the unit before any cleaning activity.

²

²

The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no
oiling.

To clean motor cap and inlet ribs: Use
a common household vacuum. Do not
use water to clean these parts of the Air
Circulator.

To clean grill: Remove grill (See GRILL
REMOVAL instructions) and dust or wash
with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not
place grill in the dishwasher. The exces­sive heat can distort the plastic.

To clean blade: Wipe with a damp cloth.
If your Air Circulator is used in a greasy
environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap
or a common household cleaner may be
necessary. Do not use solvents.

To clean base: Wipe with a damp cloth.
