SAFE USE WARNING—To reduce risk of re, electrical shock and injury
to persons, observe the following:
- WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, re and electric shock,
do not operate with a solid state speed device, such as a dimmer control
switch.
- Do not operate unit if the unit has been dropped or damaged. Do not
use this product if it has a damaged power cord or plug. To avoid risk of
electrical shock, do not attempt to repair or replace parts. Only original
replacement parts may be used. If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualied persons
in order to avoid a hazard. Contact Vornado Consumer Service at 1-800-
234-0604 (phone) or [email protected] (email) for further
instructions about replacement and repair.
- Risk of re. Your appliance may be equipped with a detachable power
supply or a cord/plug with a safety device such as a fuse. Use only the
power cord and plug provided.
- Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical
information on the rating label, including voltage, is compatible with your
outlet’s power supply.
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch the
power cord.
- While the product is plugged in, do not insert or allow foreign 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.

English 7
- 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 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

- Do not open appliance housing. To avoid risk of shock, all service and/or
repairs must be done by a Vornado Authorized Service Center.
- This product may have an overload protection (fuse) located in the plug. A
blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuit. If the fuse blows, follow
these instructions to replace and reinstall the safety device:
User Servicing Instructions

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.

cover should t completely in the plug. No part of the cover should
stick out (See Fig. C).
