to the ceiling, resulting in cold and hot spots in the room. Vornado’s

runners, or similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or
appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be
tripped over.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons,
including the following:
To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
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.
Read all instructions before using this heater.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch
hot surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible
materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and
curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep
them away from the sides and rear.
To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any
manner. Do not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may
become blocked.
A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in
areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children
or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
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.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
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 authorized service facility for examination
and/or repair.
Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with
an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip). Operate
this heater only in its upright position. Do not operate this heater on an
elevated surface such as a shelf or desktop. Use only while placed on
the floor.
Do not use outdoors.
This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and
similar indoor locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a
bathtub or other water container.

Using your Vornado Heater is easy. Just follow these simple steps.
Position your heater so the vortex beam of warm air is directed
across the room unobstructed. Position it in a location that is
representative of the room temperature. The unique side-angled
air inlets allow the heater to be placed closer to walls than
possible with most ordinary heaters (but do not place close to
combustibles). Avoid areas of temperature extremes such as cold
drafts and heat registers. Please refer to IMPORTANT
1.
This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system,
designed to turn off the heater when an internal overheating
condition is detected (see How To Use “RESETTING YOUR
VORNADO HEATER,” to determine how to check and
reset the heater).
INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this owner’s guide.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
2. Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet.
3. Set the POWER switch to ON.
4. Set THERMOSTAT to the highest setting. When the room reaches
the desired comfort level, turn the THERMOSTAT knob slowly
counterclockwise until the heat cycles off (easier to detect when
FAN is set to AUTO).
Do not operate this product with any electronic speed-control
device on the same circuit.
Do not use heater to dry human or animal hair/fur or articles
of clothing.
caRE & MaintEnancE
Your heater has no user serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the
unit – it will void your warranty. If service is required, return your
heater to Vornado (see Warranty section).
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will require
regular cleaning. Be sure to unplug the unit prior to any cleaning
activity. Use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to clean any
accumulated dust on the front grill and the side air inlets.
During the off-season or extended periods of non-use, store your
heater. Unplug the unit and bundle the cord. Save the plastic bag
the heater was shipped in so you can cover the unit and minimize
settling dust.

RESEtting yOuR VORnaDO HEatER
Your Vornado Heater has a multi-level safety shut-off system designed
to prevent overheating. Overheating may occur when the inlets or
outlet are blocked, a foreign object prevents the blade from turning,
or the appliance tips over. If this happens, the safety shut-off system
will cut power to the heat element and you will need to manually reset
the heater.

TIGHT GRILL SPIRALS
Resists curious fingers.
Your heater, like any other 1500 watt electric heater, draws up to 12.5 amps of
electric current. If using your heater on HIGH HEAT causes your home’s circuit
breaker or fuse to trip, we offer the following suggestions:
Try turning off other electrical appliances that run on the same circuit as
your heater.
Run your heater on LOW HEAT.
COOL TOUCH CASE
Safe to touch, even on high heat setting.
Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home’s electrical system.
When the room temperature is higher than the set temperature it is normal
and correct to have no heat coming out of the PVH. When the unit is first
turned on there is a slight delay before heat will start to be produced.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT OFF SYSTEM
If airflow becomes blocked, power to the heating
element is shut off to prevent overheating.
ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR ANY
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.
TIP-OVER PROTECTION
If tipped over, power to the heating element and fan
motor is reduced to prevent overheating.
IDEAL 120°F EXIT AIR TEMPERATURE
Warm enough to heat an entire room.
