SAFE USE WARNING

To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, observe the following:

• 
  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.
• Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
• Do not operate unit if the unit has been dropped or damaged. Do not use this product if it has a damaged power cord or plug. To avoid risk of electrical shock, do not attempt to repair or replace parts. Only original replacement parts may be used. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Contact Vornado Consumer Service at 1-800-234-0604 (phone) or consumerservice@vornado.com (email) for further instructions about replacement and repair.
• 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.
• Do not sit or stand on product.
• 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 input or output opening as this may cause risk of electric shock or fire, or damage the product.
• A loose fit between wall outlet (receptacle) and plug may cause overheating and distortion of the plug. Discontinue use of the product in this outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to replace loose or worn outlets.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other.) To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
• Before moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning and when not in use, use the product controls to turn off the power and then unplug. To disconnect from outlet, grasp and pull only the plug. Also, power off and unplug if the product will be left unattended for an extended period of time or during electrical storms.

SERVICING WARNING

To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons, observe the following:

• Clean your product regularly, only as is instructed in this manual. Prior to cleaning, turn off the power on your product and unplug. Do not use gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonias or other chemicals for cleaning. Refer to the CLEANING instructions provided.
• Do not open appliance housing while product is plugged in. To avoid risk of shock, all service and/or repairs must be done by a Vornado Authorized Service Center.
• This product employs overload protection (fuse). A blown fuse indicates an overload or short-circuit situation. If the fuse blows, unplug the product from the outlet. Replace the fuse as per the user servicing instructions (follow product marking for proper fuse rating) and check the product. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

User Servicing Instructions

1. Using the product controls, turn off the appliance.
2. Grasp the plug (not the cord) and disconnect from the outlet.
3. Risk of Fire. Replace fuse only with 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse as approved by Vornado Consumer Service. For an authorized replacement fuse, please contact Vornado Consumer Service.
4. Once the replacement is received, use a small flat-head screwdriver to slide open the fuse cover (located on the plug) (Fig. A).
   
5. Remove fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the fuse (Fig. B).
   
6. Install the replacement fuse by using the screwdriver to gently push each metal end of the fuse into the receptacle one at a time. Do not push on the center of the fuse—it is fragile and may break.
7. Slide the fuse cover closed using the screwdriver. When closed, the cover should fit completely in the plug. No part of the cover should stick out (Fig. C).
   
8. Plug your appliance into the outlet and turn the power on.
9. If the replacement fuse blows, a short-circuit may be present and the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.

CLEANING

GRILLE REMOVAL
Screwdriver required for 530 only.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing grille.

1. Remove the screw (only necessary on model 530).
2. Depress one of the grille clips (A) by placing your thumb against the outside surface of the clip and pressing downward towards the motor, applying slight pressure forward. Usually by releasing one clip, the grille can be removed. If the grille cannot be removed, repeat the process on remaining clips.
   A flathead screwdriver can also be used if the clips are difficult to release.
3. Replace by lining up the clips with the holes and firmly snapping the grille back into place. Replace the screw (model 530 only).

BLADE REMOVAL

To reduce the risk of electrical shock and injury to persons, unplug the circulator before removing blade.

1. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft.
2. Wipe the Blade with a damp cloth. If your circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents. Do not place blade in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
3. To reattach - be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the corresponding flat side on the blade's socket. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing damage.

Note: The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
