Important Instructions
This appliance has a polarized plug, which means that one blade
is wider than the other. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, try reversing the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do
not use this product with any solid-state speed control device.
¥ Do unplug your Swan before cleaning.
¥ Do clean your Swan regularly.
¥ Do use common sense when using this and/or any
electrical appliance.
¥ Do not position your Swan too close to drapes, as they may
be drawn into the rear grill and cut off air flow.
¥ Do not use outdoors.
¥ Do not use on wet surfaces.
¥ Do not immerse in water and never allow water to drip into
the motor housing.
¥ Do not use if the power supply cord becomes frayed or brittle.
¥ Do not use gasoline, thinners or other chemicals to clean
your Swan.
¥ Do not use near furnaces, fireplaces, stoves
or other high-temperature heat sources.
¥ Do not oil the motor of your Swan.
The Vornado
Swan Deco Fan
The Vornado Swan Deco Fan is an all-new design that features
decorative elements from several style movements within the Deco
period. The bullet-nose blade hub and overlapping elephant-ear
paddles replicate those of the original 1934 Silver Swan fan. In
addition, some of our favorite design elements from the Machine-
Age and Streamline design periods were integrated into the fan.
The result is an elegantly striking and subtle refinement youll
notice in the details. The sculpted base. The metal-on-metal pivot
point of the fan head. The microphone-style cooling vents on
the back of the motor housing. The grill graphic. Even the knobs.
By the way, the Vornado Swan moves a lot of air. It just does it
with unprecedented style.
Maintaining the
Swan Deco Fan
The motor is permanently lubricated for years of trouble-free
operation and requires no oiling. Your Swan fan will need
periodic cleaning. Be sure to unplug the unit prior to cleaning.
Use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachments to clean away
any accumulated dust on the front and rear grills, as well as the
motor housing. Wipe all the parts with a clean damp cloth. A
mild detergent solution or a common household cleaner may be
used if necessary.
For more thorough cleaning, the front grill can be removed. Use
a Phillips-head screw driver to loosen the grill-ring retaining
screwlocated at the six-oclock position on the grilland
remove the front grill and grill ring. Using a clean damp cloth,
simply wipe the blade and the rear grill behind the blade.
Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the
finish on the parts.
After cleaning, be sure that all parts are replaced correctly and
that the grill-retaining screw is securely tightened.
A Helpful Note
The Vornado Swan is an oscillating fan, not a room air
circulator. In order to provide personal comfort, the fan must
blow air directly on you.
Perhaps you already own a Vornado Whole Room Air
Circulator. We have found that many people enjoy the
intermittent breeze from an oscillating fan in conjunction with
the constant air circulation provided by an air circulator.
Operating the
Swan Deco Fan
There are three major adjustments that can be made to your fan:
the amount of air the fan moves, the direction in which it is
moved and whether or not the fan oscillates. These adjustments
are simple to make.
Oscillation Knob
To activate the oscillation feature, simply push the knob down.
To stop the fan from oscillating, pull up the knob up.
Pivot Knob
Direct the air flow by adjusting the tilt of the motor head in the
pivot yoke. To loosen the pivot knob to make an adjustment,
turn the knob counter-clockwise and rotate the fan head to the
desired tilt. Then retighten the pivot by turning the pivot knob
clockwise. Always loosen the pivot knob before making a
change in the angle of the tilt.
Speed Control
Adjust the speed control to provide the amount of air
flow desired, from low to high.
