FEATURES and BENEFITS
Circulate All Over the Room
A Vornado circulates all the air in the room so everyone is comfortable. 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.
HOW TO USE YOUR VORNADO
WHEN TO USE – SAVES ENERGY YEAR-ROUND
GETTING STARTED
- Position your Air Circulator so the beam of air has an unobstructed path from one side of the room to the other.SummerUse 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. With Vornado Air Circulators, you can save money on energy bills by raising your thermostat several degrees and still maintaining the same comfort level.
- Set speed to medium or low 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.)Spring & FallYour Air Circulator can make the indoors as fresh and pleasant as the outdoors. Place the Air Circulator near an open window, sliding door or French door to take full advantage of mild temperatures and seasonal breezes.
- 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.WinterPosition 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 circulate their warmth, taking full advantage of all available heat in the room. Do not point the Air Circulator at open flames.
GRILL REMOVAL
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.
BLADE 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.
VFAN JR: Once the grill is removed (see GRILL REMOVAL section) pull the blade straight out from the shaft (Fig. 1). 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. 
VFAN & VFAN SR: Once the grill is removed (see GRILL REMOVAL section) unscrew the Blade Cap clockwise (Fig. 2).Then pull the blade straight out from the shaft (Fig. 3). 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. Replace the Blade Cap.
CLEANING
Because your Air Circulator moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, unplug the unit before any cleaning activity.
