Operating Tips

†In smaller areas, you might prefer to set the Fan switch to Auto (Problem ). In the Auto setting, the fan will cycle on and off with the heating element.

†In larger spaces, your Vornado® Heater, will function most effectively with the

Fan switch set to Continuous ( ). In the Continuous position, V-Flow will gently keep the air circulating in the room for even, uniform heating.

†Your heater can function as a personal fan for cooling. Set the Thermostat to

the lowest setting and set the Fan switch to Continuous ( ).

†When the room temperature is higher than the set temperature it is normal and correct to have little to no heat coming out of the unit.

†When the unit is first turned on, there is a slight delay before heat will start to

be produced.

†Your heater, like any other 1500 watt electric heater, draws up to 12.5 amps of electric current. If using your heater on High Heat causes your home’s circuit breaker or fuse to trip, we offer the following suggestions:

Try turning off other electrical appliances that run on the same circuit as your heater.

Run your heater on Low Heat.

Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home’s electrical system.

†ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.
