LASKO AIR MOVER HIGH VELOCITY FAN Instruction Manual
Introduction
The evolution of the centrifugal air mover continues. With maximum amperage of 2.1 amps on its highest setting combined with its small size, the Vent VP-20 takes concept of drying surfaces and succeeds in making a true drying partner for the homeowner. The rotomolded housing is durable, washable and light enough to carry to any corner of the house (10.8 lbs). The multipurpose design allows operating positions for horizontal, 45° and 90° angles.
The balanced handle also acts as an optimum cord wrap assembly freeing the VP-20 of obstructions for secure stacking (5 units).
Operating Instructions
The B-Air Vent VP-20 Centrifugal Air Mover is packaged and ready to be put to work. The VP-20 requires no assembly. The VP-20 is intended to be used for drying carpet spills, drying surfaces such as bathroom, garage or room floors, ventilating as well as circulating air, and drying hard-to-reach areas such as under a leaky sink or inside damp cabinets. Just place the unit on the surface that needs to be dried, plug the unit into a grounded outlet and select the desired speed and position (0º, 45º or 90º].
