as a dimmer control switch.
- Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or
return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- Do not operate unit if the unit has been dropped or damaged. Do

objects to enter any input or output opening as this may cause risk
of electric shock or re, or damage the product.
- A loose t between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause
overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the
product in this outlet. Contact a qualied electrician to replace
loose or worn outlets.
- 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
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.
SERVICING WARNING—To reduce risk of re, electrical shock
and injury to persons, observe the following:
- Clean your product regularly, only as is instructed in this manual.
Prior to cleaning, turn off the power on your product and unplug. Do
not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonias or other chemicals
for cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided.
- Do not open appliance housing while product is plugged in. To
avoid risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done by a
Vornado Authorized Service Center.
- This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse
indicates an overload or short-circuit situation. If the fuse blows,
unplug the product from the outlet. Replace the fuse as per the user
servicing instructions (follow product marking for proper fuse rating)
and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit
may be present and the product should be discarded or returned to
an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
User Servicing Instructions
1. Using the product controls, turn off the appliance.
2. Grasp the plug (not the cord) and disconnect from the outlet.
3. Risk of Fire. Replace fuse only with 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse as
approved by Vornado Consumer Service. For an authorized
replacement fuse, please contact Vornado Consumer Service.
4. Once the replacement is received, use a small at-head
screwdriver to slide open the fuse cover (located on the plug)
(See next page, Fig. A).
5. Remove fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of
the fuse (See next page, Fig. B).
6. Install the replacement fuse by using the screwdriver to gently
push each metal end of the fuse into the receptacle one at a
time. Do not push on the center of the fuse—it is fragile and
may break.
7. Slide the fuse cover closed using the screwdriver. When
closed, the cover should t completely in the plug. No part of
the cover should stick out (See next page, Fig. C).

8. Plug your appliance into the outlet and turn the power on.

POSITIONING YOUR CIRCULATOR
1. Duo may be positioned vertically or horizontally. Position your Duo
Tower Circulator so the airstream has an unobstructed path for
small room circulation. Or position Duo to blow directly at you for
direct cooling. The airow direction may be adjusted by twisting
the head for improved position location.
ADJUSTING YOUR SPEED
1. Set to a medium speed and allow a few minutes for an airow
pattern to be established. (Different airow patterns can
be established by changing the location, and speed of the
Tower Circulator.)
PLACEMENT NEAR A WALL
OR CORNER
Please position at least 6” away
from walls or other large surfaces.
Doing so will ensure your Tower
Circulator has adequate room
to intake air, providing optimum
performance. (See Figure A)
6”

Figure A
2. 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
Duo Tower Circulator season after season.
HOW TO USE

English
HOW TO CLEAN
Your DUO Tower Circulator has no user serviceable parts. Do
not disassemble the unit. This will void your warranty. If service
is required, return your circulator to Vornado (see WARRANTY
for instructions).
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
Because your Tower Circulator moves a substantial amount of air, it
will need regular cleaning. To clean follow these simple instructions:
1. Unplug the unit.
Note: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other
chemicals for cleaning.
2. Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum
cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front
Angled Outlet Grille and Side Inlet Grille. Wipe down
the entire surface with a soft cloth.
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR CIRCULATOR
Thank you for your purchase. It’s important for you to know that this
product functions very differently than typical tower fans you may
have used in the past. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
EXPECT POWERFUL CIRCULATION
Your Duo Tower Circulator is designed to move considerably more
air than a traditional tower fan. Consider the following as you adjust
product settings.
Ultra-high volume airow. Increased sound
levels may be perceptible due to airow volume
and velocity.
High volume airow. Rapidly moves air across
the room for efcient cooling. Increased sound
levels may be perceptible due to airow volume
and velocity.
Superior circulation power compared to
traditional tower fans on their high setting. May
be preferred for day-to-day use.
Near-silent operation while offering
steady circulation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTIONPROBLEM
Unit is not plugged in. Plug Power Cord into electrical outlet.
Ensure unit fan speed setting is selected.
Plug fuse has blown. Replace fuse (See USER SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS on page 5).
Unit is damaged or in need of repair. Cease usage and unplug. Contact Consumer Service for assistance.
The outlet is worn or damaged. Try another outlet or contact a qualied electrician.
Unit set to a low speed setting. Adjust to a higher speed setting.
Airow is blocked. Remove obstruction.
Adjust direction of airow towards the user.
Under certain conditions, it is possible for a reset GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet to trip
when the user is changing speeds on a Vornado circulator. In this event, change to an outlet that is not
connected to a GFCI device. It could also indicate a weak or defective GFCI outlet. Contact a qualied
electrician to check the GFCI outlet.
The unit fails to power on.
Airow is weak or slow.
GFCI has tripped.
