Vortex Heat Circulation Explained:
The Vornado AVH2 Plus utilizes unique vortex action to circulate warm air throughout the entire room. Unlike traditional heaters that only heat the area immediately around them, Vornado heaters create a continuous current of warm air that moves along walls and ceilings, ensuring even temperature distribution.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Vornado heater.
- Cleaning: Always unplug the heater before cleaning. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, or other chemicals.
- Dust Removal: Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove any accumulated dust from the air intake and outlet grilles.
- Storage: When not in use, store the heater in a cool, dry place. It is recommended to store it in its original packaging to protect it from dust and damage.
Care instructions: Hand Wipe.
Troubleshooting
If your Vornado heater is not operating as expected, consult the following common issues and solutions:
- Heater Not Operating:
- Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet.
- Check if a circuit breaker has tripped.
- Verify the unit is placed on a firm, level surface. The automatic tip-over safety switch will prevent operation if the unit is not stable.
- Confirm the desired temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature.
- Reduced Heat Output or Airflow:
- Clean any dust or debris from the air intake and outlet grilles.
- Ensure no objects are blocking the airflow.
- The automatic climate control may reduce heat output once the set temperature is approached or maintained.
- Unusual Odor:
- A slight odor may be present during initial use as manufacturing oils burn off. This is normal and should dissipate quickly.
- If a strong or persistent burning odor occurs, immediately unplug the unit and contact customer service.
