The Vornado 660 utilizes a unique design with deep-pitched blades, an inlet guide cone, and a spiral grill to create a powerful, focused beam of air that travels up to 100 feet. This Vortex Action ensures that all the air in the room is continuously circulated, eliminating hot and cold spots and providing consistent comfort.

By continuously moving air, the Vornado 660 creates a comfortable environment throughout the entire room, rather than just in a direct path. This efficient circulation can help reduce energy consumption by allowing you to set your thermostat higher in warmer months.

  • Read all instructions before using this appliance.
  • This product is built to meet U.S. voltage requirements (120V) and may not function properly when used with voltage converters or adapters. Improper use outside the U.S. will void all warranties.
  • Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

  • To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use this fan with any solid-state speed control device.
  • Do not use this fan in windows. Rain and moisture may create an electrical hazard.

  • Do not use this fan near water, such as bathtubs, washbowls, swimming pools, or wet basements.
  • 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.

The Vornado 660 is designed for versatile placement to optimize whole-room air circulation.

  • Place the product on a level floor or table, free of any obstructions.
  • Ensure the product is in locations where it will not come in contact with direct sunlight, or hot air from air conditioning or heating appliances. Such contact can cause the product to deform, change color, or malfunction.
  • Do not place the product near radios or TVs, as it may cause noise on radio and affect the TV signal.

For optimal performance, position the circulator to create a complete air pattern throughout the room. This can involve directing air towards a wall or ceiling to create a gentle, indirect airflow.
