where battery power is converted to AC power.
- Place this product at least 3 feet away on all sides from,
electrical outlets, furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes,
curtains and other objects that may cause or catch on fire.
Do not place the heater near a bed because objects such as
pillows or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the

surfaces, like a bed, where air intakes or exhaust can be
blocked in anymanner.
- No part of this product (the appliance, power cord, plug,
packaging, etc.) should be placed near furnaces, fireplaces,

doors. Place appliance near an easily accessible outlet so the
product can be unplugged quickly during an emergency.
- Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.
SAFE USE WARNING — To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock
and injury to persons, observe the following:
- Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use
not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
- Extreme caution is required at all times a heater is in operation.
Always unplug heater when not in use. Vornado does not
recommend unattended and unsupervised use of this heater.
- This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare
skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving
thisheater.
- Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle.
Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power
tap (outlet/power strip). Do not use this heater on a surge-
protected unit or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupted (GFCI)
outlet.
- 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.
- WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, fire and
electric shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device,
such as a dimmer control switch. Use of this appliance on the
same electrical circuit as another high energy use product,
such as a vacuum cleaner, blender, variable speed fan or
circular saw is not advised. Do not use this heater with a timer
designed to automatically turn the unit on or off, as this may
accidentally disable the heater’s thermal cutout safety feature.
- Risk of fire. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord
or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or
damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or return to a Vornado
authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- 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 ventilation or exhaust opening as this may
cause an electric shock or fire, or damage theheater.
- Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose fitting
outlet can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be sure
plug fits tight in the outlet. Check frequently during use to
make sure plug and outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue using
heater and have outlet replaced by a qualified electrician.
- Never ignore the signs of an electrical problem, such as: warm
outlet coverplates, sparks when plugging in or operating, lights
flickering/dimming during operation. Immediately turn off
and unplug the appliance if any such problems are noticed.
Contact a qualified electrician to investigate possible causes

6English
before operating the applianceagain.
- Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances,
overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred
with the other appliances.
- This product's power cord is equipped with a three-prong,
grounded plug that must be inserted into a grounded
receptacle. Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
- This heater is for use with 120 volt electrical outlets. The cord
has a plug as shown at A in Figure 68.1, below. An adapter as
shown at C is available for connecting three-blade grounding-
type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding
lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.
The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded
receptacle is available.
- 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
unattended for an extended period of time or during electrical
storms.
- If your heater suddenly stops working:
• This heater is equipped with a thermal cutout safety feature
designed to automatically shut off when overheating is
detected. See the “RESET HEATER” instructions in this guide
to determine how to check and reset the heater.
• If the heater and other electrical products suddenly stop
working at the same time, your home circuit breaker
or fuse may have tripped due to an overload of power.
Consider only running your heater on the “low” setting,
only running one heater at once and unplugging all other
electrical products while running the heater, and/or hiring
an electrician to install an additional circuit to your home’s
electrical system.

Keeping Sensa Clean
Cleaning the Grille
1. Power Sensa Off and unplug.
2. Use the brush attachment on your household
vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated
dust on the unit or wipe down the entire
surface with a soft, dry cloth.
Note: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or
other chemicals for cleaning.
Note: Do not modify Sensa with any aftermarket
accessory.
You should periodically blow out Sensa
with pressurized air to keep heat
element and motor clear of dust, hair
and debris that can build up inside the
heater as it moves air during use. This also
eliminates unwanted odors caused by
accumulation of these particles inside the
unit.
Always unplug Sensa before starting any part of the cleaning process.
Because Sensa moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. Cleaning the outside
of the heater is recommended on a weekly basis.
