This product is not intended for commercial or industrial use. This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas, and similar damp locations. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage or injury due to unauthorized use or product modification. Failure to follow these directions will void the product warranty.

WARNING: When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

WARNING: Risk to Children and Impaired Persons

- Extreme caution is required during the installation, operation, cleaning and maintenance of this product by or around children 12 years of age and younger and anyone with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance, its parts and packaging material.

INSTALLATION WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, observe the following:

• A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
• Do not use this heater in an RV, boat or during any application where battery power is converted to AC power.
• Place this product at least 3 feet away on all sides from electrical outlets, furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, curtains and other objects that may cause or catch on fire. Do not place the heater near a bed because objects such as pillows or blankets can fall off the bed and be ignited by the heater.

• To prevent a possible fire, do not place the heater on soft surfaces, like a bed, where air intakes or exhaust can be blocked in any manner.

• No part of this product (the appliance, power cord, plug, packaging, etc.) should be placed near furnaces, fireplaces, stoves or other high temperature heat sources.

• Do not use on an uneven or unstable surface.
• Do not use this product on an elevated surface such as a shelf or desktop. Use only while placed on the floor. Operate only in the upright position.
• This appliance, power supply, power cord and plug cannot come into contact with water. Do not use this product on wet surfaces. Do not use this product in a bathtub or shower or position where it may fall into a bathtub, shower, laundry, swimming pool or other water container. Do not use in a window, outdoors, or exposed to weather or elements.
• Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or similar coverings. Do not route under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over. The cord should not hang over edges of counters or be placed where it can be crimped or closed in doors. Place appliance near an easily accessible outlet so the product can be unplugged quickly during an emergency.
• Do not modify the product with any aftermarket accessory.

SAFE USE WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, observe the following:

• Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Extreme caution is required at all times a heater is in operation. Always unplug heater when not in use. Vornado does not recommend unattended and unsupervised use of this heater.
• This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. If provided, use handles when moving this heater.
• Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
• Do not use this heater on a surge-protected unit or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) outlet.
• Before plugging power cord into electrical outlet, be sure that all electrical information on the rating label, including voltage, is compatible with your outlet's power supply.

• WARNING: To reduce likelihood of circuit overload, fire and electric shock, do not operate with a solid state speed device, such as a dimmer control switch. Do not use this heater with a timer designed to automatically turn the unit on or off, as this may accidentally disable the heater's thermal cutout safety feature. Use of this appliance on the same electrical circuit as another high energy use product, such as a vacuum cleaner, blender, variable speed fan or circular saw is not advised.

• Risk of fire. Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or return to authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

• Do not sit or stand on product.
• Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or stretch the power cord.
• Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
• Check your heater cord and plug connections. A loose fitting outlet can cause the plug to overheat or cause a fire. Be sure plug fits tight in the outlet. Check frequently during use to make sure plug and outlet are not hot. If so, discontinue using heater and have outlet replaced by a qualified electrician.
• Never ignore the signs of an electrical problem, such as: warm outlet coverplates, sparks when plugging in or operating, lights flickering/dimming during operation. Immediately turn off and unplug the appliance if any such problems are noticed. Contact a qualified electrician to investigate possible causes before operating the appliance again.
• Note: Heaters draw more current than small appliances, overheating of the outlet may occur even if it has not occurred with the other appliances.

- Before moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning and when not in use, use the product controls to turn off the power and then unplug. To disconnect from outlet, grasp and pull only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will be left unattended for an extended period of time or during electrical storms.

- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

- If your heater suddenly stops working:

• This heater is equipped with a thermal cutout safety feature designed to automatically shut off when overheating is detected. See the "RESET HEATER" instructions in this guide to determine how to check and reset the heater.
• If the heater and other electrical products suddenly stop working at the same time, your home circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped due to an overload of power. Consider only running your heater on the "low" setting, only running one heater at once and unplugging all other electrical products while running the heater, and/or hiring an electrician to install an additional circuit to your home's electrical system.

SERVICING WARNING—To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, observe the following:

• Clean your product regularly, only as is instructed in this manual. Prior to cleaning, turn off the power on your product and unplug. Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonias or other chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided.
• Do not open appliance housing while product is plugged in. To avoid risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done by a Vornado Authorized Service Center.

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.

1. Use brush attachment on household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off Air Inlets on back and sides of heater.
2. Wipe down the entire heater with a soft, dry cloth.

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

STORAGE RESET HEATER

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:

Cleaning is recommended before storage.

1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
2. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This prevents 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.
