Overview

The device is a Vornado PIVOT 3U Whole Room Circulator, designed to circulate air in indoor living spaces to enhance the performance of heating and cooling systems, thereby saving energy. It comes with a 5-year satisfaction guarantee.

Function Description:

The Vornado PIVOT 3U is a whole room air circulator that moves air throughout a room to create a more comfortable environment. By maximizing the performance of heating and cooling systems, it allows users to set their summertime thermostat higher and wintertime thermostat lower, contributing to energy savings. The circulator features a pivoting head and a swiveling body, allowing for 360° directable airflow, so users can direct the airflow precisely where desired. It offers three speed settings (High, Medium, Low) to accommodate various comfort levels.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific electrical specifications like voltage and wattage are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the manual indicates that the product uses a 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse for overload protection. It is designed for use in the United States and Canada. The device is equipped with a polarized plug, meaning one blade is wider than the other, as a safety feature to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Usage Features:

  • Pivoting Head: Allows users to direct the airflow to a specific area.
  • Swiveling Body: Provides 360° directable airflow for comprehensive room circulation.
  • Three Speeds: Offers High (III), Medium (II), and Low (I) fan speeds, along with a power off (O) setting, allowing users to select the desired airflow intensity for their comfort.
  • Customizable Base: The base of the circulator is designed to be customizable. It includes a clear acrylic plate (D) where users can insert a desired disc (C) to match their room's decor or personal style. The product comes with 8 included designs, and users can also create their own using a provided mylar template. Additional free designs are available on vornado.com/PivotYourStyle. This feature allows for personalization using various materials like wallpaper, family photos, wrapping paper, or fabric.
  • Finger Friendly Design: The grille is designed to resist curious fingers, enhancing safety.
  • Silicone Feet: Non-marking feet are included for stability, preventing scratches or marks on surfaces.

Maintenance Features:

  • Grille Removal for Cleaning: The front grille is removable for easy cleaning. This requires a screwdriver to remove 4 screws located at roughly 2, 5, 7, and 10 o'clock positions between the ribs of the inlet grille. The grille can be dusted or washed with mild dishwashing soap. It should not be placed in a dishwasher as excessive heat can distort the plastic.
  • Blade Removal for Cleaning: The blade can also be removed for cleaning. This involves turning the nut on the shaft clockwise to loosen it, then pulling the blade straight out. Pliers are recommended for this step. The blade can be wiped with a damp cloth; for greasy environments, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be used. Solvents should not be used, and the blade should not be placed in a dishwasher. When reattaching, ensure the flat side of the shaft aligns with the corresponding flat side on the blade's socket, pushing the blade all the way until it bottoms out. A hammer should not be used to avoid bearing damage.
  • Permanently Lubricated Motor: The motor is permanently lubricated and does not require oiling.
  • Base Plate Cleaning: The clear acrylic plate on the base should be handled gently as it is a delicate surface and can scratch easily. Cleansers should not be used on the plate as they can scratch or make the surface cloudy. Canned air is recommended for removing dust from the base plate.
  • Fuse Replacement: The product employs overload protection with a fuse located in the plug. If the fuse blows, it needs to be replaced with a 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse. Instructions for replacement involve using a small flat-head screwdriver to open the fuse cover, gently lifting out the old fuse, installing the new fuse by pushing its metal ends into the receptacle, and then sliding the cover closed. If a replacement fuse blows, the product may have a short-circuit and should be discarded or returned to an authorized service facility.
  • General Cleaning: Regular cleaning is recommended as instructed in the manual. Prior to cleaning, the product should be turned off and unplugged. Gasoline, thinners, solvents, ammonias, or other chemicals should not be used for cleaning. The appliance housing should not be opened while the product is plugged in; all service and/or repairs must be done by a Vornado Authorized Service Center.
