This document provides the owner's guide for the Vornado VMH300 Whole Room Heater, emphasizing important safety instructions, operational features, maintenance, and warranty information. The Vornado VMH300 is designed to efficiently heat and circulate air in indoor living spaces, ensuring comfort and warmth.
The Vornado VMH300 is a whole room heater that utilizes Vornado's signature Vortex Action to circulate warm air throughout an entire room. This ensures that heat is evenly distributed, eliminating cold spots and providing consistent comfort. The heater is intended for floor use only and is not suitable for commercial or industrial applications, or in damp locations such as bathrooms or laundry areas. It operates on 120-volt electrical outlets and is equipped with a three-prong, grounded plug for safe use.
The heater offers two heat modes: High Heat (1500 watts) and Low Heat (750 watts), allowing users to select the appropriate heating level for their needs. A thermostat control enables precise temperature management; users can set the thermostat to the highest setting to quickly warm a room, then slowly turn it counterclockwise until the heat cycles off when the desired comfort level is reached. A red power indicator light illuminates to show when the heater is on.
The VMH300 is designed with user convenience and safety in mind. It features a metal construction that is fire-resistant and remains cool to the touch, enhancing safety during operation. An integrated handle on the top of the heater makes it easy to lift and carry the unit.
For safety, the heater incorporates several automatic shut-off systems. The Automatic Safety Shut-Off System activates if airflow becomes blocked, preventing overheating. Additionally, the Automatic Tip-Over Protection system cuts power to the heater if it tips over, restoring power once the heater is placed back in an upright position. These features ensure safe operation and provide peace of mind.
The power cord is a grounded heavy-duty type, adding durability and a secure wall connection. A convenient power cord storage tray on the back of the heater allows users to safely store excess cord, keeping the area tidy and reducing tripping hazards. The design also includes a finger-friendly grill that resists curious fingers, making it safer for households with children or pets.
To use the heater, first, check for any visible damage. If damage is found, contact Vornado customer service. Position the heater so that airflow is not obstructed. Unwrap the power cord from the storage tray and plug it into a standard grounded wall outlet. Select the desired heat mode using the control dial, then adjust the thermostat to achieve the preferred room temperature.
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of the Vornado VMH300 heater. Due to its air-moving capabilities, the heater will accumulate dust and debris over time. It is recommended to clean the outside of the heater weekly.
Before cleaning, always unplug the heater. Use a brush attachment on a household vacuum cleaner to remove accumulated dust from the Front Outlet Grill. Similarly, vacuum the Inlet Filter on the back of the heater; note that this filter is not removable. After vacuuming, wipe down the entire heater with a soft, dry cloth.
Periodically, it is beneficial to blow out the heater with pressurized air. This helps to keep the heat element and motor clear of dust, hair, and debris that can build up inside the unit, which can cause unwanted odors. It's important not to modify the product with any aftermarket accessories.
The heater is equipped with a thermal cutout safety feature that automatically shuts off if overheating is detected. If the heater stops working due to overheating, it needs to be reset. To reset the heater:
For storage during the off-season or extended periods of non-use, follow these steps:
Disposal of packaging materials should be done in an environmentally responsible manner. The Vornado VMH300 is designed, engineered, and supported in the USA, reflecting a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
