Grasp the plug (not the cord) and disconnect from the outlet.
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.
Once the replacement is received, use a small flat-head screwdriver to slide open the fuse cover (located on the plug).
Remove fuse by using the screwdriver to gently lift each end of the fuse.
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.
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.
Plug your appliance into the outlet and turn the power on.
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.
