Important Safety Instructions

General Safety

This owner's guide contains important information about safety, use, and disposal. Familiarize yourself with all operating and safety instructions before use. Keep all documents for future reference and pass them on with the product.

Intended Use: This product is intended for indoor and outdoor air circulation in a window installation within the United States. It is not for commercial or industrial use. Unauthorized use or modification voids the warranty.

Risk to Children and Impaired Persons

Supervision is required for children 12 years and younger, and individuals with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities during installation, operation, cleaning, and maintenance. Ensure children do not play with the appliance, its parts, or packaging.

Installation Warnings

• Install only in windows, with controls facing indoors.
• Keep away from curtains, tablecloths, blankets, and other fabrics that could be drawn into the fan.
• Do not place near furnaces, fireplaces, stoves, or other heat sources.
• Use only on an even, stable surface.
• Keep power cord and plug away from water. Do not use on wet surfaces, in bathtubs, showers, or near water containers.
• Do not run cord under carpeting, throw rugs, or furniture. Route cord away from traffic areas to prevent tripping.
• Ensure cord does not hang over edges or get crimped in doors.
• Place near an easily accessible outlet for quick unplugging in emergencies.

Safe Use Warnings

• To reduce risk of circuit overload, fire, and electric shock, do not operate with solid-state speed devices (e.g., dimmer switches).
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug. Discard or return for service.
• Do not operate if the unit has been dropped or damaged.
• Use only original replacement parts. If the power cord is damaged, contact Vornado Consumer Service for replacement by qualified personnel.
• Ensure electrical information on the rating label matches your outlet's power supply.
• Do not sit or stand on the product.
• Never use the cord as a handle or yank it.
• Do not insert foreign objects into openings, as this may cause shock or fire.
• A loose fit between the outlet and plug may cause overheating. Discontinue use and contact an electrician for outlet replacement.
• The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). It fits in a polarized outlet only one way. If it doesn't fit, reverse the plug. If still no fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not defeat this safety feature.
• Before moving, servicing, or cleaning, turn off power and unplug. Grasp only the plug to disconnect. Power off and unplug if unattended or during electrical storms.

Servicing Warnings

• Clean regularly as instructed. Unplug before cleaning. Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, or ammonia.
• Do not open appliance housing while plugged in. All service/repairs must be done by a Vornado Authorized Service Center.
• The product has overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates overload or short-circuit. If fuse blows, unplug, replace with correct rating, and check product. If it blows again, return for service.

User Servicing Instructions (Fuse Replacement)

Note: Risk of fire. Do not replace attachment plug. It contains a safety device (fuse, AFCI, LCDI) that should not be removed. Discard product if attachment plug is damaged.

1. Turn off the appliance using product controls.
2. Grasp the plug (not the cord) and disconnect from the outlet.
3. Replace fuse only with a 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse approved by Vornado Consumer Service. Contact Vornado for authorized replacement fuses.
4. Use a small flat-head screwdriver to slide open the fuse cover on the plug. (See Figure A: Fuse cover slide).
5. Use the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the fuse to remove it. (See Figure B: Fuse removal).
6. Install the replacement fuse by gently pushing each metal end into the receptacle one at a time. Do not push on the center of the fuse as it may break.
7. Slide the fuse cover closed using the screwdriver. Ensure it fits completely and no part sticks out. (See Figure C: Fuse cover closed).
8. Plug the appliance into the outlet and turn power on.
9. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present. Discard the product or return it to an authorized service facility.
