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. Note: GFCI outlets are typically found in bathrooms and
kitchens and feature a “reset” button to prevent tripping of an
electrical circuit.
- 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. 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 if it has been dropped or if damage
is apparent to any part of the unit including the cord and plug.
Only original replacement parts may be used.
- Never use the cord as a handle or otherwise yank, strain or
stretch the power cord.
- While the product is plugged in, 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.
