The Vornado Duo Tower Circulator is a versatile and efficient air circulation device designed for indoor living spaces in the United States and Canada. Its primary function is to circulate air, providing a comfortable environment through powerful airflow. Unlike traditional tower fans, the Duo Tower Circulator is engineered to move a substantial amount of air, ensuring effective room circulation or direct cooling, depending on its positioning.
Function Description:
The Vornado Duo Tower Circulator is built to create a wide cooling zone with constant airflow. It achieves this through its unique design and powerful motor, which allows for different levels of air movement. The device is intended for residential use, helping to maintain personal comfort by circulating air and reducing stagnant zones. Its ability to adjust airflow direction, coupled with multiple speed settings, makes it adaptable to various room sizes and prevailing temperature and humidity conditions. The circulator is not designed for commercial or industrial applications.
Usage Features:
The Duo Tower Circulator offers several features that enhance its usability and performance:
- Dual Versatility: The unit can be positioned either vertically or horizontally, providing flexibility in how it directs airflow. This allows users to choose between an unobstructed path for small room circulation or direct airflow for personal cooling. The airflow direction can be further adjusted by twisting the head of the unit, optimizing its placement for maximum effectiveness.
- Simple Speed Selection: The device features a one-button design for easy speed adjustment. Pressing the Power/Speed button cycles through four distinct speed settings: Turbo (IIII), High (III), Medium (II), and Low (I). LED lights on the control panel clearly indicate the currently selected speed setting.
- Power On/Off: The unit is turned on by pressing the Power button. Upon activation, the LED lights on the control panel illuminate, and the device defaults to the Turbo Speed (IIII) setting.
- Optimized Positioning: For optimal performance, the circulator should be positioned at least 6 inches away from walls or other large surfaces. This ensures adequate room for air intake, which is crucial for efficient circulation.
- Adjusting Speed for Comfort: Users are encouraged to set the circulator to a medium speed initially and allow a few minutes for an airflow pattern to establish. Different airflow patterns can be achieved by varying the unit's location and speed. The goal is to find the precise amount of circulation needed to maintain personal comfort.
- Speed Settings Explained:
- Turbo Setting: Provides ultra-high volume airflow, suitable for rapid air movement. Users may notice increased sound levels due to the high airflow volume and velocity.
- High Setting: Delivers high volume airflow, efficiently moving air across the room for effective cooling. Similar to the Turbo setting, increased sound levels may be perceptible.
- Medium Setting: Offers superior circulation power compared to the high setting of traditional tower fans. This setting is often preferred for day-to-day use, balancing airflow with noise levels.
- Low Setting: Ensures near-silent operation while still providing steady circulation, ideal for quiet environments or continuous background air movement.
- Whisper Quiet Operation: Despite its powerful circulation capabilities, the Duo Tower Circulator is designed for quiet operation, especially at lower speed settings, making it suitable for various settings without causing disturbance.
Maintenance Features:
The Vornado Duo Tower Circulator is designed for straightforward maintenance, focusing on ease of cleaning and long-term reliability.
- No User Serviceable Parts: The unit does not contain any user-serviceable parts, and disassembly is not recommended as it will void the warranty. Any required service or repairs must be performed by a Vornado Authorized Service Center.
- Permanently Lubricated Motor: The motor is permanently lubricated, eliminating the need for regular oiling by the user.
- Regular Cleaning: Due to its function of moving a substantial amount of air, the circulator requires regular cleaning to maintain optimal performance.
- Cleaning Instructions:
- Always unplug the unit before cleaning to ensure safety.
- Avoid using gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonias, or other harsh chemicals for cleaning, as these can damage the unit.
- Use a brush attachment on a household vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulated dust from the Front Angled Outlet Grille and Side Inlet Grille.
- Wipe down the entire surface of the unit with a soft cloth to keep it clean.
- Overload Protection (Fuse): The product is equipped with overload protection in the form of a fuse. If the fuse blows, it indicates an overload or short-circuit situation. Users are instructed to unplug the product and replace the fuse according to the user servicing instructions provided in the manual. If a replacement fuse also blows, it suggests a potential short-circuit, and the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- User Servicing Instructions for Fuse Replacement:
- Turn off the appliance using its controls.
- Grasp the plug (not the cord) and disconnect it from the outlet.
- Replace the fuse only with a 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse approved by Vornado Consumer Service.
- Use a small flat-head screwdriver to slide open the fuse cover on the plug.
- Gently lift each end of the old fuse with the screwdriver to remove it.
- Install the replacement fuse by gently pushing each metal end into the receptacle one at a time, avoiding pushing on the center of the fuse as it is fragile.
- Slide the fuse cover closed with the screwdriver, ensuring it fits completely in the plug without any part sticking out.
- Plug the appliance back into the outlet and turn the power on.
- If the replacement fuse blows again, the product should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility.
- Cord and Plug Care: Users are advised not to run the cord under carpeting, cover it with throw rugs, or route it under furniture or appliances. The cord should be arranged away from traffic areas to prevent tripping. It should also not hang over counter edges or be placed where it can be crimped or closed in doors. The appliance should be placed near an easily accessible outlet for quick unplugging in emergencies.
- Polarized Plug Safety: The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) designed to fit into a polarized outlet only one way to reduce the risk of electric shock. If the plug does not fit fully, it should be reversed. If it still does not fit, a qualified electrician should be contacted. Users should not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
- Disconnection for Safety: Before moving, repositioning, servicing, cleaning, or when not in use, the product controls should be used to turn off the power, and the unit should be unplugged. To disconnect from the outlet, grasp and pull only the plug. The unit should also be powered off and unplugged if left unattended for an extended period or during electrical storms.
