This plug will fit into a grounded outlet only one way. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat this safety purpose of the grounding plug.
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:
Read all instructions before using this heater.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.

with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip).
Operate this heater only in its upright position.
Do not operate this heater on an elevated surface such as a shelf or desktop. Use only while placed on the floor.
This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system, designed to turn off the heater when an internal overheating condition is detected (see How To Use “RESETTING YOUR
VORNADO HEATER,” to determine how to check and reset the heater).
Do not use this heater on a circuit that has a variable speed device operating, such as a blender or a variable speed fan.
Do not use heater to dry human or animal hair/fur or articles of clothing.
This product must be grounded. If the product malfunctions, grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The 3-prong plug must be inserted into a grounded outlet that has been properly installed in accordance with all electric codes and ordinances. If you are in doubt as to whether or not an outlet is properly grounded, contact a qualified electrician.
This heater operates with an infrared remote control. Interference between this remote and other remote-control-operated electrical appliances in your home is possible.
CAUTION: In order to avoid a hazard due to inadvertent resetting of the thermal cutout, this appliance must not be supplied through an external switching device, such as a timer, or connected to a circuit that is regularly switched on and off by the utility.
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at A in Figure 65.1. An adapter as shown at C is available for connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
Figure 65.1
Do not use this heater in an RV, a boat, or in any application where a
DC/AC converter is converting battery power to AC power.
Do not use the heater on any Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupted (GFCI) circuit. A GFCI circuit has a reset button in the middle of the outlet.
Do not use this heater on a surge protected circuit.
Do not use the heater with any kind of timer to turn the unit on or off.
Do not use this heater on a circuit that is shared with a high power device, such as a vacuum or a circular saw.
CAUTION: A loose fit between the outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlet.

How To Use
Getting Started
Using your Vornado Heater is easy. Just follow these simple steps.
1. Position your heater so the vortex beam of warm air is directed across the room, unobstructed. Position it in a location that is representative of the room temperature. Avoid areas of temperature extremes such as cold drafts and heat registers. Please refer to IMPORTANT
INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of this owner’s guide.

How To Use
Resetting Your Vornado Heater
Your Vornado Heater has a multi-level safety shut-off system designed to prevent overheating. Overheating may occur when the inlets or outlet are blocked, a foreign object prevents the blade from turning, or the appliance tips over. If this happens, the safety shut-off system will cut power to the heat element and you will need to manually reset the heater.
1. Set the Power switch to Off and unplug the unit.
2. Remove any obstructions.
3. Wait 5 –10 minutes, allowing the unit to cool down.
4. Plug in the unit and place in desired position.
5. Set the Power switch to On. Your Vornado Heater should now function normally.
Note: If the safety shut-off system repeatedly shuts off your heater or if it will not reset after following the above procedure,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DISASSEMBLE THE UNIT. Call Vornado
Consumer Services Department toll-free at 1-800-234-0604.

Warm enough to heat an entire room.
Grounded Heavy-Duty Power Cord
Adds durability and a more secure wall connection.

Cleaning and Storage
How to Clean
Your heater has no user serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the unit. This will void your warranty. If service is required, return your heater to Vornado (see WARRANTY for instructions).
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. To clean follow these simple instructions:
1. Unplug the unit.
Note: Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents or other chemicals for cleaning.
2. Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Angled Outlet Grill and Side Inlet Grill. Wipe down the entire surface with a soft cloth.
Note: Vacuuming the outside of the heater is recommended on a bi-weekly basis. You may also blow the heater out with high pressured air. This can be purchased from your local hardware store.
Storage
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:
1. Unplug power cord and bundle loosely.
2. Thoroughly clean your heater (see instructions above).
3. Cover, or place back in retail carton if available. This will prevent the unit from accumulating dust overtime.
4. Store unit in a cool and dry location.
Operating Tips
In smaller areas, you might prefer to set the unit in LOW mode. A vortex beam of air will gently keep the air circulating in the room for even, uniform heating.
In larger spaces, you might prefer to set the unit in HIGH mode. A vortex beam of air will gently keep the air circulating in the room for even, uniform heating.
To use the iControl as a personal fan, set the unit to FAN mode.
The iControl, like any other 1500-watt electric heater, draws up to
12.5 amps of electric current. If using your iControl on HIGH setting causes your home 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 in LOW mode.
Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home’s electrical system.
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 iControl. When the unit is first turned on there is a slight delay before heat will start to be produced.
ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR
ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.
Do not use more than one heater at a time.
Never ignore or take lightly the signs of an electrical problem, such as:
Warm outlet cover plates
Sparking at outlet when plugging in or during operation
Light flickering or dimming (indicates a shared circuit or problem)
Investigate the cause of these before continuing to use the heater.
