Overview

The Vornado Pivot is a personal air circulator designed for indoor use in the United States. It is not intended for commercial or industrial applications. The device is engineered to provide a cool breeze, either directed at the user or away to create swirling currents of air, rejuvenating personal space.

Function Description:

The Vornado Pivot is an air circulator that moves a substantial amount of air to create a cooling effect. It features multiple speed settings (High, Medium, Low) to accommodate various comfort levels and can be powered off. The device is designed with a pivot mechanism, allowing users to direct the airflow where desired. Its compact size and ease of use make it suitable for almost any indoor space.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual indicates that the product employs overload protection through a fuse. The fuse specification for replacement is 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt. The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The rating label provides information on compatible voltage for the outlet's power supply.

Usage Features:

  • FINGER FRIENDLY DESIGN: The design resists curious fingers, enhancing safety.
  • PIVOT: Allows users to direct the airflow precisely where it is needed.
  • AIR INLETS: Features signature inlets and a powerful motor to move more air efficiently.
  • MULTIPLE SPEEDS: Offers High (III), Medium (II), and Low (I) fan speed settings, along with a power off (O) option, providing flexibility for different comfort preferences.
  • SILICONE FEET: Equipped with non-marking silicone feet for enhanced stability, preventing damage to surfaces.
  • Immediate Use: The circulator comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use upon plugging in.

Maintenance Features:

  • Regular Cleaning: Due to the substantial amount of air moved, regular cleaning is necessary.
  • Cleaning Procedure:
    1. Power off and unplug the unit before cleaning.
    2. Dust or wipe the circulator with a damp cloth.
    3. Use a brush attachment on a household vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulated dust.
  • Non-User Serviceable Parts: The fan has no user-serviceable parts inside and cannot be opened for cleaning beyond the external surfaces.
  • Fuse Replacement: In case of a blown fuse, it must be replaced with a 2.5 Amp, 125 Volt fuse as approved by Vornado Consumer Service. The manual provides detailed instructions for fuse replacement using a small flat-head screwdriver to open the fuse cover on the plug, gently remove the old fuse, and install the new one.
  • Storage: For extended periods of non-use or during the off-season, cleaning is recommended before storage. The power cord should be unplugged and bundled loosely. The circulator should be covered or placed back in its retail carton, if available, to prevent dust accumulation. Store the unit in a cool and dry location.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as the unit failing to power on, weak or slow airflow, or a tripped GFCI outlet. It provides possible causes and solutions, including checking the power cord, fuse, fan speed settings, and obstructions, or contacting customer service or a qualified electrician for more complex issues.
  • Safety Warnings: Emphasizes not to operate the unit with a damaged cord or plug, or if it has been dropped or damaged. Users are warned against attempting to repair or replace parts themselves to avoid electrical shock, and are directed to contact Vornado Consumer Service for replacement and repair instructions. The product's attachment plug contains a safety device (fuse, AFCI, LCDI) that should not be removed; if the plug is damaged, the product should be discarded.
