Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided.
- Do not open appliance housing while product is plugged in. To avoid risk

(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 Fig. A).
5. Remove fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the
fuse (See 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 Fig. C).
8. Plug your appliance into the outlet and turn the power on.
9. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the
product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service

To Clean Grille:
Unplug unit. Remove screw and rotate the grille
counterclockwise to unlock and then lift off. To reinstall
the grille, position the grille with the logo rotated
slightly to the left and rotate clockwise. Dust or wash
with a mild dish washing soap. Do not place grille in the
dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
To Clean Blade:
Pull the blade straight out from the shaft. Wipe with a
damp cloth. To reattach - be certain the at side of the
shaft aligns directly with the corresponding at side on
the blade’s socket. Push the blade all the way on the
shaft until it bottoms out. If your Air Circulator is used in
a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a
common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not
use solvents.
To Clean Base:
Wipe with a damp cloth.
To Clean Motor Cap and Inlet Ribs:
Use a common household vacuum. Do not use water to
clean these parts of the Air Circulator.
Because your FIT moves air it will require regular cleaning.
CLEANING
GRILLE & BLADE REMOVAL Screwdriver required.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator
before removing grille and blade.
