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 Air Inlets on back of heater. 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.
3. Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off Front Angled Outlet Grill.
4. Wipe down the entire heater with a soft, dry cloth.

Note: Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.

Storage

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 will prevent heater from accumulating dust over time.
3. Store heater in cool and dry location.

DISPOSAL: Dispose of all packaging materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

Reset 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. If this happens, the safety shut off system will cut power to the heater and you will need to 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. If the heater’s red indicator light remains illuminated even after positioning the heater back in upright position after being tipped over, the heater may have overheated and will need to be reset as directed above.
   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.
