Whole
Room Air Circulation – Vortex Action
How it Works:
When you switch on a Vornado Air Circulator, air behind
the circulator is drawn into the unit and is directed by
an Inlet Guide Cone. This cone acts as an air
accelerator, increasing the air velocity to the center
of the blade and assists in projecting outgoing air
further into the room. The Deep-Pitched Blades take big
bites of air and accelerates that air through the
circulator. The Duct around the blade keeps air from
slipping off the blade tips and helps direct it forward.
The AirTensity Grill acts as a flow-straightener and
further assists in focusing the outward stream of air
into a tight vortex airflow. This high velocity Vortex
Beam of Air actually projects across the room pulling
even more air into its beam. As the beam of air reaches
the other side of the room, it is drawn back around the
perimeter of the room and ultimately back to the
circulator to be recharged again through this continuous
cycle. This process creates Whole Room Circulation; all
the air in the room is excited into a steady state motion
that creates air movement in every part of the room,
continuously and quietly. Moving air makes you feel more
comfortable and creates a more even temperature
throughout the entire room.

Using a
Vornado Air Circulator as an Air Pump
Vornado
Air Circulators can be used as air pumps. Help move air
from one area to another horizontally or vertically.
Place the unit in the area you want to pump the air from
and point it to the area you would like to send it to.
Use the Vornado Air Circulator to pump air from one room
to another, up a flight of stairs, down a hallway or
keep cool air directed to a warm spot. |

Destratifying Winter Air
Direct a Vornado Air
Circulator towards the ceiling to destratify winter air
in your home. In any room warm air will rise to the
ceiling and cool air stays at floor-level. A Vornado Air
Circulator circulates all of the air in the room to
create a consistent temperature throughout the room.
Even in just an 8-foot tall room, the temperature can
vary by 10 degrees Fahrenheit from ceiling to floor;
variation is even greater in taller rooms. When directed
at the ceiling, Vornado Air Circulators effectively
bring this warm air from the ceiling down to the floor
where people are; this may allow you to adjust your
thermostat and save on heating bills.

How to
Clean a Vornado Air Circulator
The motor is permanently
lubricated in all models and requires no oiling.
Because your Vornado Air Circulator moves a great deal
of air, it will need regular cleaning. Always unplug the
unit before any cleaning activity.
To
clean motor cap and inlet ribs: Use a vacuum to remove
dust from the inlet side or wipe with a damp cloth using
mild dishwashing soap if necessary, do not use a water
spray to clean these parts.
To clean grill: Remove (see
grill removal instructions) and dust or wash with a mild
dishwashing soap. Do not place grill in dishwasher as
the excessive heat can distort the plastic.
To clean blades: Wipe with
a damp cloth. If your Air 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.
To
clean base: Wipe with a damp cloth |

Grill
Removal
Models:
200 and 500 Series Instructions
The clips holding the grill in place need to be released
before the grill can be removed. Release the clips one
at a time. To release a grill clip, apply pressure to
the grill clip and push it down toward the motor
(applying slight pressure forward may be necessary).
There will be a click when the clip is released. Repeat
the process with the other grill clips and then lift the
grill out of the cowl.
Note: The Model 530B has a screw on the bottom of the
grill that needs to be removed before the clips can be
released.
Models:
600 and 700 Series Instructions
The clips holding the grill in place need to be released
before the grill can be removed. Release the clips one
at a time. To release a grill clip, use a flathead
screwdriver to push the grill clip down toward the motor
and then use the screwdriver to push the clip forward.
Usually by releasing one clip, the grill can be removed
from the cowl. If, after releasing one clip, the grill
cannot be removed, repeat the process on a second clip. |

Blade Removal
It is
possible to remove the blade should something
accidentally get wrapped around the motor shaft. Pull
the blade straight out from the shaft. When putting the
blade on, be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns
directly with the same flat side on the blade socket
(this is the only way the blade can go on the shaft).
Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms
out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in damage
to the motor. |
