FEATURES and BENEFITS
Circulate All Over the Room
A Vornado circulates all the air in the room so everyone is com-
fortable. Air in motion feels cooler than air that is stagnant. By
providing whole room circulation, a Vornado allows you to turn
the thermostat up without sacrificing comfort.
Inlet Guide Cones direct air to the most ef-
ficient parts of the propeller blades.
Deep-pitched propeller blades “bite” off and
circulates more air.
Dual injector cones and powerful blades cause
the air leaving to spiral - allowing it to travel
farther than typical fans.
For fully flexible performance, Vornado gives
you as much or as little air as you desire.
Direct the airflow with the touch of your fin-
gers with the easy-to-adjust head.
All moving parts are enclosed for safety and
silence.

Use your Air Circulator with your home’s air conditioning system to create
brisk, comforting air movement. This breeze will eliminate stagnant air and
remove body heat to make you feel cooler.

your thermostat several degrees and still maintaining the same comfort level.

HOW TO USE YOUR VORNADO
WHEN TO USE - SAVES ENERGY YEAR-ROUND
Set speed to medium and allow a few minutes for an airflow pattern
to be established. (Different airflow patterns can be established by
changing the location, angle and speed of the Air Circulator.)
1Position your Air Circulator so the beam of air has an unobstructed
path from one side of the room to the other. 2
9English
Winter
Position your Air Circulator in a place with unobstructed upward air movement.
Run it only as fast as necessary to lower the heated air from the ceiling – but
not fast enough to create a draft. Or, use your Air Circulator with other avail-
able heat sources (furnace vents, wood stoves or baseboard heaters) to circu-
late their warmth, taking full advantage of all available heat in the room. Do
not point the Air Circulator at open flames.
Increase the
efficiency of
heating sources
Replace cold
floor air with
warm ceiling air
Adjust the speed accordingly until a desired comfort level is
achieved. Once you discover the added comfort of air circulation,
you will use your Vornado Air Circulator season after season.

WARNING: To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, unplug
the Air Circulator before removing the grill.
To protect paint, apply masking tape over the head of a flat screwdriver and
up to about 2 inches on the screwdriver shaft. Place flat screwdriver against the
angled section of the grill support tab, (as shown) and press outward to allow
the grill wire to be released from the support tab. Repeat on second and third
grill support tab. To reinstall, relocate grill wire ends into the support tabs,
use the flat screwdriver to flex back the support tabs to allow grill to snap into
place. Be sure all three grill wire ends are engaged.
GRILL REMOVAL
WARNING: To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, make
sure the Air Circulator is still unplugged before removing the blade.
It is possible to remove the blade should something accidentally get wrapped
around the motor shaft. Once the grill is removed (see GRILL REMOVAL sec-
tion) pull the blade straight out from the shaft. When replacing, the blade can
only go on the shaft one way. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it
bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing damage.
