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 Grill and Side Air In-
lets. Wipe down the entire surface with a soft cloth.

In smaller areas, you might prefer to set the Fan switch to Auto. In the Auto
position, the fan will come on only when the heating element is on.

Fan switch set to High or Cont. In the High or Cont. position, the vortex beam
of air will gently keep the air circulating in the room for even, uniform heating.

Operating Tips
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.
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 VH102 or VH2. 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.
