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 heater.
• To prevent a possible fire, do not place the heater on soft surfaces, like a bed, where air intake 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, stoves, or other high-temperature heat sources. Do not use in a window, on an uneven or unstable surface, or near water. – Do not use this product on an elevated surface such as a shelf or desktop. Use only while placed on the floor. Operate only in the upright position.
• The appliance, power supply, power cord, and plug cannot come into contact with water. Do not use this product on wet surfaces. Do not use this product in a bathtub or shower or position the product where it may fall into a bathtub, laundry, swimming pool, or other water container. Do not use this product outdoors or expose it to weather or elements. –
• Do not run the cord under the carpeting. Do not cover the cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route under furniture or appliances. Arrange the cord away from the traffic area so that it will not be tripped over. The cord should not hang over the edges of counters or be placed where it can be crimped or closed indoors. Place the appliance near an easily accessible outlet so the product can be unplugged quickly during an emergency.

SAFE USE WARNING

• 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 the 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 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. Note: GFCI outlets are typically found in bathrooms and kitchens and feature a “reset” button to prevent tripping of an electrical circuit.
• Before plugging the 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.

DISPOSAL WARNING

To reduce waste and environmental harm, observe the following:

PACKAGE RECYCLING:
The packaging protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging materials are selected from the point of view of their environmental friendliness and disposal technology and are therefore recyclable. Dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to contact Vornado Consumer Service.

SAFETY FEATURES

CONTROLS

HOW TO USE

Before use, check the appliance for visible damage. DO NOT USE THIS HEATER if there is evidence of damage. If any damage is found, contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604

1. Use an integrated handle on the back of the heater for lifting and carrying.
2. Position the heater so airflow is not obstructed.
3. Plug the power cord into a standard grounded wall outlet.

COOL DOWN
When you power off your heater, it automatically enters a cool-down routine in which the heating element turns off and the fan exhausts the remaining heat. During Cool Down, the display counts down from eight, then powers off completely.

CLEANING
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. Cleaning the outside of the heater is recommended every week. If service is required, return your heater to Vornado. See WARRANTY for instructions.

1. Unplug heater before cleaning.
2. Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Air Inlets on side of heater.
3. Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off Front Angled Outlet Grill.
4. Wipe down the entire heater with a soft, dry cloth.

You should periodically blow out the heater with pressurized air to keep the 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 the accumulation of these particles inside the unit.

Note:
Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.

STORAGE 

During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may choose to store your heater. To ensure the long life of the product, it is recommended to store your heater by following these instructions

1. Unplug the power cord and bundle it loosely.
2. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents the heater from accumulating dust over time.
3. Store the heater in a cool and dry location.

RESET HEATER 

RESETTING YOUR VORNADO HEATER
Your Vornado Heater has a multilevel safety shut-off system designed to prevent overheating. Overheating may occur when the inlets or outlets are blocked. If this happens, the safety shut-off system cuts power to the heater and you must manually reset the heater.

1. Power the heater off, then unplug the power cord.
2. Remove any obstructions.
3. Wait 5–10 minutes, allowing the heater to cool down.
4. Plug in the power cord and place the heater in the desired position.
5. Press the power button On. Your Vornado Heater should now function normally and return to the last stored setting.

Note:
If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off your heater or if it will not reset after following the above procedure, call the Vornado Consumer Services Department toll-free at 1-800-234-0604.
