5English
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch the

- 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

Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided.
- 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

to slide open the fuse cover (located on the plug) (Fig. A).
5. Remove fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the
fuse (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 (Fig. C).

FEATURES & BENEFITS
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.
Inlet Guide Cones direct air to the most efcient
parts of the propeller blades.
Deep-pitched propeller blades “bite” off and
circulate more air.
Dual injector cones and powerful blades cause
the air leaving to spiral - allowing it to travel
farther than typical fans.
For fully exible performance, Vornado gives you
as much or as little air as you desire. VFANJR
features two speeds; VFAN, VFANSR, VFANSRP
three speeds.
Direct the airow with the touch of your ngers
with the easy-to-adjust head.
All moving parts are enclosed for safety
and silence.
Fully adjustable stand that adjusts from 42” to
55” in height.

wrench, use counterclockwise rotations to remove set
screw from collet. Slide collet onto lower pole until it
stops. Check to make sure holes in collet and pole align.

To clean motor cap and inlet ribs: Use a common household vacuum. Do
not use water to clean these parts of the Air Circulator.
To clean grille: Remove grille (See GRILLE REMOVAL instructions) and dust or
wash with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not place grille in the dishwasher. The
excessive heat can remove the plating.
Because your Air Circulator moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. To avoid risk of re, electrical shock, or injury to persons, unplug the
unit before any cleaning activity.
CLEANING
To clean blade: Wipe with a damp cloth. If your Air 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.
To clean base: Wipe with a damp cloth.
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.

10 English
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons,
unplug the circulator before removing grille.
Tip: To prevent scratching, gently cover the tip of a at screwdriver with a
soft cloth.
Place at screwdriver against the angled section of the grille support tab,
(as shown) and press outward to allow the grille wire to be released from
the support tab. Repeat on second and third grille support tab. To reinstall,
relocate grille wire ends into the support tabs, use the at screwdriver to ex
back the support tabs to allow grille to snap into place. Be sure all three grille
wire ends are engaged.
GRILLE REMOVAL
FOR ALL VFAN MODELS Screwdriver required. BLADE REMOVAL FOR VFANJR MODELS Screwdriver required.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons,
unplug the circulator before removing blade.
It is possible to remove the blade should something accidentally get wrapped
around the motor shaft.
VFAN JR: Remove the Blade Cap by wedging
a cloth wrapped screwdriver under the Blade
Cap. Next, remove the Nut by rotating clock-
wise and then remove the Washer. Pull the fan
blade straight out from the shaft (Fig. 1). When
replacing, the Blade can only go on the shaft
one way. Push the Blade all the way on the shaft
until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as
this could result in bearing damage. Replace
the Washer, the Nut, and then just press the
Blade Cap in place to secure.
VFAN, VFAN SR, VFAN SR Pedestal:
Unscrew the Blade Cap clockwise (Fig.
2). Then pull the blade straight out
from the shaft (Fig. 3). When replac-
ing, the blade can only go on the shaft
one way. Push the blade all the way on
