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, wrap cord and slide inside storage tray on back of heater.
  2. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents heater from accumulating dust over time.
  3.  Store heater in 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 outlet are blocked. If this happens, the safety shut-off system cuts power to the heater and you must manually reset the heater.

  1.  Remove any obstructions.
  2.  Wait 5–10 minutes, allowing heater to cool down.
  3.  Plug in power cord and place heater in desired position.
  4. Power heater On. Your Vornado Heater should now function normally.
