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

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 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

BLADE REMOVAL Pliers required.
1. First, remove the nut from the shaft
by turning the nut clockwise to
loosen. Pull the blade straight out
from the shaft.
2. Wipe the Blade with a damp cloth.
If your 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. Do not place blade in
the dishwasher. The excessive heat
can distort the plastic.
3. 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. Do not use a hammer as this
