- To prevent a possible re, do not place the heater on soft
surfaces, like a bed, where air intakes or exhaust can be blocked in any manner.
- No part of this product (the appliance, power cord, plug, packaging,
etc.) should be placed near furnaces, replaces, stoves or other high
temperature heat sources. Do not use in a window, on an uneven or unstable surface, or near water.

SAFE USE WARNING—To reduce risk of re, electrical shock and injury to persons, observe the following:
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause re, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
- Extreme caution is required at all times a heater is in operation. Always unplug heater when not in use. Vornado does not recommend unattended and unsupervised use of this heater.
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this heater.
- Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
Do not use this heater on a surge-protected unit or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) outlet. Note: GFCI outlets are typically
found in bathrooms and kitchens and feature a “reset” button to prevent tripping of an electrical circuit.
- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is compatible with your outlet’s power supply.
- WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, re and electric shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such as a dimmer control switch. Use of this appliance on the same electrical circuit as another high energy use product, such as a vacuum cleaner, blender, variable speed fan or circular saw is not advised. Do not use this heater with a timer designed to automatically turn the unit on or off, as this may accidentally disable the heater’s thermal cutout safety feature.
- Risk of re. Do not operate if it has been dropped or if damage is
apparent to any part of the unit including the cord and plug. Only
original replacement parts may be used.
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch the power cord.
- While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock or re, or damage the heater.
- Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose tting outlet can cause the plug to overheat or cause a re. Be sure plug ts tight
in the outlet. Check frequently during use to make sure plug and outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue using heater and have outlet
replaced by a qualied electrician.
- Never ignore the signs of an electrical problem, such as: warm
outlet coverplates, sparks when plugging in or operating, lights
flickering/dimming during operation. Immediately turn off and
unplug the appliance if any such problems are noticed. Contact a
qualied electrician to investigate possible causes before operating
the appliance again.
- Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances, overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with the other appliances.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to
t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Before moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning and when not in use, use the product controls to turn off the power and then unplug. To disconnect from outlet, grasp and pull only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will be left unattended for an extended period of time or during electrical storms.
- If your heater suddenly stops working:
