CLEANING

GRILLE REMOVAL
Screwdriver required.



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

1. Remove the 3 screws located in between the ribs of the inlet grille at roughly 2, 5 and 9 o'clock positions. Screw locations are also indicated with an arrow () on the circulator.
2. Dust or wash Front Grille with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not place grille in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
3. To reattach - position the Front Grille so the Vornado logo in the center of the Front Grille is straight. Replace all the screws.

Use the brush attachment on your household vacuum cleaner to vacuum any accumulated dust off the Front Grille and Air Inlets.
Note: The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.

BLADE REMOVAL
Pliers required.


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

1. First, remove the nut from the shaft by turning the nut clockwise to loosen. 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.
   Reinstall nut.
