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.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children
or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
Always unplug heater when not in use.

heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
Discard heater, or return to authorized service facility for examination
and/or repair.
Do not use outdoors.
This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and
similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a

appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be
tripped over.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please visually inspect all internal and external components before connecting to electric current. If any damage is found,
DO NOT USE THIS UNIT and contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.
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:

English 5
Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never
use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power
strip).
Operate this heater only in its upright position. Do not operate
this heater on an elevated surface such as a shelf or desktop. Use
only while placed on the floor.
This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system,
designed to turn off the heater when an internal overheating
condition is detected (see How To Use “RESETTING YOUR
VORNADO HEATER,” to determine how to check and
reset the heater).
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric 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.
Do not operate this product with any electronic speed-control
device on the same circuit.
Do not use heater to dry human or animal hair/fur or articles
of clothing.

HOW TO USE
Using your Vornado®VH101 is easy. Just follow these simple steps:
Position your VH101 so the vortex beam of warm air is directed
across the room unobstructed. Position it in a location that is
representative of the room temperature. The unique side-angled
air inlets allow the heater to be placed closer to walls than possible
with most ordinary heaters (but do not place close to
combustibles). Avoid areas of temperature extremes such as
cold drafts and heat registers. Please refer to IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this owner’s guide.
Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet.
Set the POWER switch to ON. The amber light will be on anytime
the POWER is on.
Set the mode switch to HIGH or LOW HEAT, or select the center
position on the switch for FAN ONLY.
Any servicing should be performed by an authorized
service representative.
Save the retail carton and cord twist-tie to use when storing the
heater in the summer and spring seasons. Secure the cord by
using the provided twist tie, or if you no longer have the twist-
tie, simply wrap the cord with a rubber band. Place the heater
back into the retail carton and close top flaps to avoid dust
accumulation on and in the heater.

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, a foreign object prevents the blade from turning,
or the appliance tips over. If this happens, the safety shut-off system
will cut power to the heat element and you will need to manually reset
the heater.
Set the POWER switch to OFF and unplug the unit.
Remove any obstructions.
Wait 5 –10 minutes, allowing the unit to cool down.
Plug in the unit and place in desired position.
Set the POWER switch to ON. Your Vornado Heater should now
function normally.
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.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
The VH101 has no user serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the
unit as doing so will void your warranty. If service is required, return
your heater to Vornado (see Warranty section for instructions).
The motor inside your VH101 is permanently lubricated and requires
no oiling.
Because your VH101 moves air, it will require regular cleaning. Be
sure to unplug the unit prior to any cleaning activity. Use a vacuum
cleaner with the brush attachment to clean any accumulated dust on
the front grill and the side air inlets.

ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES
OPERATING TIPS
In smaller areas, you might prefer to set the mode switch to LOW.
In larger spaces, your Vornado® Personal Vortex Heater, or VH101, will
function most effectively with the MODE switch set to HIGH. In the HIGH
position, the vortex beam of air will gently keep the air circulating in the room
for even, uniform heating.
Your VH101 can function as a personal fan for cooling.
Your VH101 draws up to 6 amps of electric current. If using your VH101 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 VH101.
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.
TIGHT GRILL SPIRALS
Resists curious fingers.
COOL TOUCH CASE
Safe to touch, even on high heat setting.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT OFF SYSTEM
If airflow becomes blocked and overheats, power to the
heating element and fan shut off.
TIP-OVER PROTECTION
If tipped more than 10 degrees in any direction, heat
and fan functions immediately shut down.
IDEAL 120°F EXIT AIR TEMPERATURE
Warm enough to heat your personal space.
