TM
This brand new concept in air movement was
developed to give you personal air comfort
control. It is ideal for use in bedrooms, dorm
rooms, offices, hotel rooms, RVs and more. Its
unique 8" diameter soft cloth blades allow for
safe unguarded use in many settings. The
blades are soft when they come into contact
with any objects yet provide ample air
movement when put into operation. Zippi is
designed to fold to a convenient, compact size
when not in use, providing easy storage or
travel.
How to use
Your Zippi fan is completely assembled and
ready for immediate use. Simply plug in Zippi
and enjoy its cooling effect. The Zippi fan gives
you control over your personal comfort in many
ways. Thanks to Zippi's small size and easy
portability, it can be used to provide a cool
breeze in almost any space. Since Zippi is
designed for personal cooling, the airflow
pattern and angled blades are specifically
engineered to drive maximum air to the person
positioned directly in front of the fan. The
adjustable fan head gives you the freedom to
customize the direction of the airflow. Simply
position the fan head at an angle that provides
you with the ideal amount of cooling. Zippi
also allows speed control with the control knob
at the back of the fan. Speed "I" is the lowest
setting, "II" is the highest setting and "O" is the
off position. At either speed, the soft, pleasing
sound created by Zippi is the perfect blend of
quietness along with the soothing sound of
whooshing air.
Position Zippi away from objects that may
block airflow from the back or from the front.
Keep the blades from coming into contact with
any objects as this may reduce the life of the
cloth blades and cause excessive wear on the
motor. It is intended that the blades will not
regularly come into contact with objects, but
they are designed to not cause injury if they
accidentally do contact objects or individuals.
If using Zippi on an elevated surface, even
though the base is coated with a non slip
surface, use caution in positioning it to minimize
the possibility of it falling from that surface.
Should a blade become loose or tattered, DO
NOT operate the fan. Contact Vornado Air
Circulation Systems for assistance. If your Zippi
operates with excessive vibration, check that
all three blades are fully extended when in
operation. If vibration continues, contact
Vornado for assistance. See below for blade
replacement instructions.
It is possible to remove the front hub should
something accidentally wrap around the motor
shaft. Pull the hub straight off the shaft. To put
the hub back on the shaft, push the hub onto
the shaft until it is in near proximity to the body,
but allows free rotation. Do not use a hammer
as this could result in bearing damage.
Blade Replacement
Should your Zippi need blade replacement,
contact Vornado Air Circulation Systems, Inc.
Care and Maintenance
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires
no oiling. Because your Zippi moves air it will
require regular cleaning. Be sure to unplug the
unit prior to cleaning. To clean just unplug and
wipe off the fan with a soft cloth.
