The Vornado Difference
Filter All The Air
See it
in action
TRUE HEPA
An air purifier, even at 99.97%* capture rate, is only effective if it is able to pull large volumes of air through the
unit and dispurse the purified air throughout the room.
Vornado has combined a powerful blower with precise
aerodynamics, to effectively clean all the air in the room.
With Vornado's two stage Carbon and True HEPA filtration
– the air leaving the unit is 99.97%* filtered of airborne
particles such as dust, pollen, dander, smoke, bacteria,
mold spores and dust mite debris.
*0.3 microns or larger.
English 5
What is CADR?
CADR stands for "Clean Air Delivery Rate," which indicates the
volume of filtered air delivered by an air purifier. CADR ratings
show the effectiveness of the air purifer at capturing fine particles. Higher CADR rates indicate improved performance in
all room sizes.
Note: This air cleaner is suggested for use in a single, closed
room up to 220 square feet.
Portable air cleaners will be much more effective in rooms
when all the doors and windows are closed.
Tested per ANSI/AHAM AC-1 National Standard.
Vornado Whole Room Air Purifiers Feature Precision True
HEPA Calibration
Without properly calibrated airflow, products with a True HEPA
Filter will not achieve their full filtration potential. Gaps, poorly
sealed filter housings, and excessive air velocity all reduce the
effectiveness of the product. Independent testing labratory
verifies that the precise calibration of a Vornado Air Purifier allows it to perform at True HEPA standards.

microns or larger, only when used with Vornado Filters.

Cleaning and Maintenance
User Tips
How to Clean
Because large volumes of air pass through your Vornado Air
Purifier each day, it will need regular cleaning.
1. Unplug the unit before cleaning.
Note: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other chemicals for cleaning.
2. Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth. (Figure 1)
3. Dust or vacuum the interior and along the sides. It is recom-
mended to clean the interior when the filters are changed.
(Figure 2)
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Other Maintenance
The motor is permanently lubricated so it needs no service. No
other serviceable parts, other than filters, are contained within the unit.
1. Keep retail carton to store unit when not in use.
2. Use the hand holds on either side of the unit for easy carrying.
3. For best results, position the front of the unit (side with logo)
towards the center of the room, leaving at least a 6 inch
distance away from walls or furniture on every side.
Note: For optimum airflow, air outlet should be unobstructed.
Ensure curtains and other items are far enough away from the
unit to not be pulled in side inlets or interfere with airflow.
