How do I assemble the Vornado Swan fan?

The fan comes mostly pre-assembled. Simply attach the base by aligning the slots and twisting clockwise until secure. No tools required.

Can I use the fan outdoors?

No, the Vornado Swan is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures may damage the fan and create a safety hazard.

How do I clean the fan?

Unplug the fan. Use a soft, dry cloth to dust the exterior. For deeper cleaning, remove the front grille by unscrewing the knob, then wash with mild soap and water. Ensure parts are completely dry before reassembly.

Is the fan quiet?

The Vornado Swan operates at 32-45 dB depending on speed setting, which is comparable to a quiet conversation. The vortex design minimizes rattling for smoother operation.

Is there an automatic shut-off feature?

What is the warranty period?

Vornado offers a 5-year limited warranty on the Swan fan. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.

CONTROLS

Oscillation Knob

1. To activate the oscillation feature, simply push the knob down. To stop the fan from oscillating, pull the knob up.

Pivot Knob

1. Direct the air flow by adjusting the tilt of the fan head. To loosen the pivot knob to make an adjustment, turn the knob counterclockwise and rotate the fan head to the desired tilt. Then retighten the pivot by turning the pivot knob clockwise. Always loosen the pivot knob before making a change in the angle of the tilt.

Speed Control

1. Adjust the speed control to provide the amount of air flow desired, from low to high.

CLEANING

Because your Silver Swan fan moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning.

WARNING: To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock or injury to persons, unplug the fan before cleaning.

TIP: The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.

1. Use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachments to clean away any accumulated dust on the front and rear grilles, as well as the motor housing.

2. Wipe all the parts with a clean damp cloth. A mild detergent solution or a common household cleaner may be used if necessary. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners, as this may damage the finish on the parts.

1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.

2. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents unit from accumulating dust over time.
