Ordinary heaters provide only localized heat. Heat immediately rises
to the ceiling, resulting in cold and hot spots in the room. Vornado’s
unique Vortex Action delivers continuous, uniform heat surrounding
everyone in the room in a warm, comfortable temperature.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER.
Please visually inspect all internal and external components before
connecting to electric current. If any damage is found, DO NOT
USE THIS UNIT and contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using this heater.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch
hot surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and
curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep
them away from the sides and rear.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children
or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the
heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Discard heater, or return to authorized service facility for examination
and/or repair.
Do not use outdoors.
This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and
similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a
bathtub or other water container.
English4
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,
runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or
appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be
tripped over.
To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or
exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage
the heater.
To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.
A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in
areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with
an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
Operate this heater only in its upright position. Do not operate this
heater on an elevated surface such as a shelf or desktop. Use only while
placed on the floor.
This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system,
designed to turn off the heater when an internal overheating
condition is detected (see How To Use “RESETTING YOUR
VORNADO HEATER,” to determine how to check and
reset the heater).
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric 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.
Do not operate this product with any electronic speed-control
device on the same circuit.
Do not use heater to dry human or animal hair/fur or articles
of clothing.

INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE
Using your Vornado Heater is easy. Just follow these simple steps.
Position your heater so the vortex beam of warm air is directed
1.
across the room unobstructed. Position it in a location that
is representative of the room temperature. The unique sideangled air inlets allow the heater to be placed closer to walls
than possible with most ordinary heaters (but do not place close
to combustibles). Avoid areas of temperature extremes such
as cold drafts and heat registers. Please refer to IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this owner’s guide.
2.
Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet.
3.
Set the POWER switch to ON.
4.
Turn the THERMOSTAT knob to the desired setting.
5.
Your AVH4 will generate only the heat required to
obtain and maintain the set temperature.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your heater has no user serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the
unit – it will void your warranty. If service is required, return your
heater to Vornado (see Warranty section).
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will require
regular cleaning. Be sure to unplug the unit prior to any cleaning
activity. Use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to clean any
accumulated dust on the front grill and the side air inlets.
During the off-season or extended periods of non-use, store your
heater. Unplug the unit and bundle the cord. Save the plastic bag
the heater was shipped in so you can cover the unit and minimize
settling dust.
