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

- 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.
- 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. 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. 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.
- 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.

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
