THIS UNIT and contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.
This appliance has a polarized plug. (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,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
Read all instructions before using this heater.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin
touch hot surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep
combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers,
clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater
and keep them away from the sides and rear.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance. Extreme caution is necessary
when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever
the heater is left operating and unattended.

V-Flow™Heat Circulation
Ordinary heaters provide only localized heat. Heat immediately
rises to the ceiling, resulting in cold and hot spots in the room.
Vornado’s unique V-Flow Action delivers continuous, uniform
heat, surrounding everyone in the room in a warm, comfortable
temperature without the need for oscillation.

Positioning Your Vornado Heater
Position your heater so the V-Flow distribution of warm air
is directed across the room, unobstructed. Position it in a
location that is representative of the room temperature. Avoid
areas of temperature extremes such as cold drafts and heat
registers (see IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS for safe placement
on page 4).
Placement near a wall or corner
Please position at least 6” away
from walls or other large surfaces.
Doing so will ensure your Small
Room Tower Heater has adequate
room to intake air, providing
optimum performance.
Directing the airflow
Unlike any other tower heater,
this product creates a wide
span of airflow called V-Flow™
Circulation eliminating the need
for oscillation. The Vornado logo
indicates the center point of the
V-Flow™ airstream, and can be
used as a reference point for
positioning the product in the
room.
How To Use
Using your Vornado Heater
Just follow these simple steps.
1. Plug Power Cord into standard wall outlet.
2. Select (II) for High Heat or (I) for Low Heat.
3. Press Timer ( ) to set timer for 4 hours.
4. Select Fan Only ( ) for Continuous Fan.
Resetting Your Vornado Heater
Your Vornado Heater has a multi-level safety shut-off system designed
to prevent overheating. Overheating may occur when the inlets
or outlet are blocked or a foreign object prevents the blade from
turning. If this happens, the safety shut-off system will cut power to
the heat element and you will need to manually reset the heater.
1. Turn the Power to Off (o) and unplug the unit.
2. Remove any obstructions.
3. Wait 5 –10 minutes, allowing the unit to cool down.
4. Plug in the unit and place in desired position.
5. Turn the Mode Switch to ( ), (I) or (II). Your Vornado Heater should
now function normally.
Note: If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off your heater
or if it will not reset after following the above procedure, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE UNIT. Call Vornado Consumer
Services Department toll-free at 1-800-234-0604.

Cleaning and StorageAdvanced Safety Features
How to Clean
Your heater has no user serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the
unit. This will void your warranty. If service is required, return your
heater to Vornado (see WARRANTY for instructions).
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will need
regular cleaning. To clean follow these simple instructions:
1. Unplug the unit.
Note: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other chemicals
for cleaning.
2. Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to
vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Angled Outlet Grill
and Side Inlet Grill. Wipe down the entire surface with a soft cloth.
Note: Vacuuming the outside of the heater is recommended on a
bi-weekly basis. You may also blow the heater out with high pressured
air. This can be purchased from your local hardware store.
Storage
During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may
choose to store your heater. To ensure long life of the product, it is
recommended to store your heater by following these instructions:
1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
2. Thoroughly clean your heater (see instructions above).
3. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This will prevent
the unit from accumulating dust overtime.
4. Store unit in a cool and dry location.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

11
English
In smaller areas, you might prefer to set the mode switch to LOW.
In larger spaces, your Vornado® Small Room Tower Heater will
function most effectively with the MODE switch set to HIGH. In the
HIGH position, the flow of air will gently keep the air circulating in the
room for even, uniform heating.
Your SRTH can function as a personal fan for cooling.
Your SRTH draws up to 7.3 amps of electric current. If using your
SRTH on HIGH HEAT causes your home’s circuit breaker or fuse to trip,
we offer the following suggestions:
• Try turning off other electrical appliances that run on the same
circuit as your SRTH.
• Run your heater on LOW HEAT.
• Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home’s
electrical system.
ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR ANY
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.
Do not use more than one heater at a time.
Never ignore or take lightly the signs of an electrical problem, such
as:
Warm outlet cover plates
Sparking at outlet when plugging in or during operation
Light flickering or dimming (indicates a shared circuit or problem)
Investigate the cause of these before continuing to use the heater.
