Ordinary heaters provide only localized heat. Heat immediately rises

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

unique Vortex Action delivers continuous, uniform heat surrounding

everyone in the room in a warm, comfortable temperature.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS HEATER.

Please visually inspect all internal and external components before

connecting to electric current. If any damage is found, DO NOT

USE THIS UNIT and contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.

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:

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.

Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children

or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.

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.

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.

Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs,

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

English 5

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).

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.

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.

INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO USE

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

INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this owner’s guide.

Plug the power cord into a standard wall outlet.

Set the POWER switch to ON.

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).

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.

English6

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.

Set the POWER switch to OFF and unplug the unit.

Remove any obstructions.

Wait 5 –10 minutes, allowing the unit to cool down.

Plug in the unit and place in desired position.

Set the POWER switch to ON. Your Vornado Heater should now

function normally.

If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off your heater or if it

will not reset after following the above procedure, DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE UNIT. Call Vornado Consumer

Services Department toll-free at 1-800-234-0604.

PVH OPERATING CONTROLS

ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES

OPERATING TIPS

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.

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.

ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR ANY

ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.

TIGHT GRILL SPIRALS

Resists curious ﬁngers.

COOL TOUCH CASE

Safe to touch, even on high heat setting.

AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT OFF SYSTEM

If airﬂow becomes blocked, power to the heating

element is shut off to prevent overheating.

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.
