How to Clean

Because large volumes of air pass through your Vornado Air

Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other chemi-

cals for cleaning. 

2.

 Wipe down with a soft, damp cloth. (Figure 1)

3.

 Dust or vacuum the interior and along the sides.  It is recom-

mended to clean the interior when the Filters are changed.

Cleaning the Dust Sensor

It is recommended to clean the Dust Sensor when replacing 
the Carbon Filters.

the unit.
