thermostat several degrees and still maintaining the same comfort level.

take full advantage of mild temperatures and seasonal breezes.

When To Use – Saves Energy Year-Round
1. Position your Air Circulator so the beam of air has an unobstructed path from one
side of the room to the other.
2. Set speed to medium and allow a few minutes for an airflow pattern to be
established. (Different airflow patterns can be established by changing the location,
angle and speed of the Air Circulator.)
3. Adjust the speed accordingly until a desired comfort level is achieved. You will
quickly determine the precise amount of circulation required to maintain your
personal comfort in a given room for the prevailing temperature and humidity
conditions. Once you discover the added comfort of air circulation, you will use
your Vornado Air Circulator season after season.
