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.
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 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.
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.
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).

the same circuit.

Heat Circulation
Ordinary heaters provide only localized heat. Heat immediately rises
to the ceiling, resulting in cold and hot spots in the room. Vornado’s

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.
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 power cord into standard wall outlet.
3. Set Power switch to On.
4. Select High or Low heat setting.
5. Turn the Thermostat knob to the desired setting.
6. Your VH103 and AVH2 will generate only the heat required
to obtain and maintain the set temperature.
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. Set the PowerR switch to 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. Set the Power switch to 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.
