information on the rating label, including voltage, is compatible with your
outlet’s power supply.
- Do not sit or stand on product.
- 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.
- 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

- 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.
9. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the
