- 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 flat-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 fit 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 authorized service facility

FEATURES and BENEFITS
Inlet Guide Cones direct air to the most efficient
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 flexible performance, Vornado gives you
as much or as little air as you desire.
Direct the airflow with the touch of your fingers
with the easy-to-adjust head.
All moving parts are enclosed for safety
and silence.
