Please visually inspect all internal and external components before

USE THIS UNIT and contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always

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

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.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised
to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. 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 in order to avoid a hazard.
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, shower, swimming pool or other water container.
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.

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 use this heater on a circuit that has a variable speed device
operating, such as a blender or a variable speed fan.
Do not use heater to dry human or animal hair/fur or articles of
clothing.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting
of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through
an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a
circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
Do not use this heater in an RV, a boat, or in any application where a
DC/AC converter is converting battery power to AC power.
Do not use the heater on any Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupted
(GFCI) circuit. A GFCI circuit has a reset button in the middle of the
outlet.
Do not use this heater on a surge protected circuit.
Do not use the heater with any kind of timer to turn the unit on or
off.
Do not use this heater on a circuit that is shared with a high power
device, such as a vacuum or a circular saw.
CAUTION: A loose fit between the outlet (receptacle) and plug
may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use
of the product. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or
worn outlet.

How To Use
Getting Started
Using your Vornado Heater is easy. Just follow these simple steps.
1. Position your heater so the vortex beam of warm air is directed
across the room unobstructed. Position it in a location that is
representative of the room temperature. The unique side-angled 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 (refer
to IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for safe placement).
2. Plug power cord into a standard wall outlet.
3. Press the Power switch On. The amber light will be on anytime the
Power is On.
4. Set the mode switch to High or Low Heat, or select the center
position on the switch for Fan Only.
Resetting Your Vornado Heater
Your Vornado Heater has a multi-level safety shut-off system
designed to prevent overheating. Overheating may occur when
the inlets or outlet are blocked, a foreign object prevents the
blade from turning, or the appliance tips over. If this happens,
the safety shut-off system will cut power to the heat element
and you will need to manually reset the heater.
1. Turn the Power switch Off and unplug the unit.
2. Remove any obstructions.
3. Wait 5–10 minutes, allowing the unit to cool down.
4. Plug in the unit and place in desired position.
5. Turn the Power switch On. Your Vornado Heater should now
function normally.
Note: If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off
your heater or if it will not reset after following the above
procedure, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE
UNIT. Call Vornado Consumer Services Department toll-free
at 1-800-234-0604.
