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-

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.

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 electrical shock, this plug is

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

• 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 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
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

TWIN AIR CONES
Inlet guide cones direct air to the most efcient parts of the
propeller blades.
DEEP-PITCHED PROPELLER
Deep-pitched propeller blades “bite” off and circulates more air.
VORTEX TORNADO ACTION BLADES
Dual injector cones and powerful blades cause the air leaving to
spiral - allowing it to travel farther than typical fans.
FIVE SPEEDS
For fully exible performance, Vornado gives you as much or as
little air as you desire.
FULL ACTION PIVOT HEAD
Direct the airow with the touch of your ngers with the easy-to-
adjust head.
SAFE AND QUIET DESIGN
All moving parts are enclosed for safety and silence.
CIRCULATE ALL OVER THE ROOM
A Vornado circulates all the air in the room so everyone is comfortable. Air in
motion feels cooler than air that is stagnant. By providing whole room circulation,
a Vornado allows you to turn the thermostat up without sacricing comfort.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS

English
HOW TO USE YOUR VORNADO
GETTING STARTED
Position your air circulator so the
beam of air has an unobstructed path
from one side of the room to the other.
Set speed to medium or low and
allow a few minutes for an airow
pattern to be established. (Different
airow patterns can be established
by changing the location, angle and
speed of the air circulator.)
Adjust the speed accordingly until
a desired comfort level is achieved.
Once you discover the added
comfort of air circulation, you will use
your Vornado air circulator season
after season.
