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, replaces,
stoves or other high temperature heat sources.
- Do not use on an uneven or unstable surface.
- Do not use this product on an elevated surface such as a
shelf or desktop. Use only while placed on the oor. Operate
only in the upright position.
- This appliance, power supply, power cord and plug cannot

6
English
that all electrical information on the rating label, including
voltage, is compatible with your outlet’s power supply.
- To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, re and electric
shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such
as a dimmer control switch. 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. 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.

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

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.

English
- 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.

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.

HOW TO USE
11
English
CLEANING
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning.
Cleaning the outside of the heater is recommended on a weekly basis. 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 Front Outlet Grille.
3. Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum
any accumulated dust off Air Inlets on back of heater.
4. Wipe down the entire heater with a soft, dry cloth.
TIP: You should periodically blow out the heater 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.
Note: Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.
12
English
STORAGE RESET HEATER
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:
TIP: Cleaning is recommended before storage.
1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
2. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents
heater from accumulating dust over time.
3. Store your heater in a cool and dry location.
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. Power heater off, then unplug power cord.
2. Remove any obstructions.
3. Wait 5–10 minutes, allowing heater to cool down.
4. Plug in power cord and place heater in desired position.
5. Power heater On. Your Vornado Heater should now
function normally.
NOTE: If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off your heater
or if it will not reset after following the above procedure, call Vornado
Consumer Services Department toll-free at 1-800-234-0604.
