WHOLE ROOM HEAT  
The AVH10 and AVH30 use Vornados signature Whole Room Heat circulation to deliver continuous, uniform heat to the entire room. Be  
comfortable in the room you’re in. Heat only the rooms that you are in and not the entire house.  
INTELLIGENT COMFORT  
A Vornado heater uses special airflow called Vortex Action to heat  
all the air in the room. The heater also senses how much heat and  
circulation is needed to maintain your ideal temperature and makes  
adjustments automatically. The air flows fast, warm and gentle to  
create a heating experience unlike any other.

STORAGE  
RESET HEATER  
During the off-season or after extended periods of non-use, you may  
choose to store your heater. To ensure long life of the product, it is  
recommended to store your heater by following these instructions:  
RESETTING YOUR VORNADO HEATER  
Your Vornado Heater has a multi-level safety shut off system designed  
to prevent overheating. Overheating may occur when the inlets or  
outlet are blocked. If this happens, the safety shut off system will cut  
power to the heater and you will need to manually reset the heater.  
Cleaning is recommended before storage.

2. Remove any obstructions.  
1.Unplug power cord and wrap  
around the Cord Storage on  
bottom of heater.  
3. Wait 5–10 minutes, allowing the heater to cool down.  
4. Plug in the power cord and place heater in desired position.  
2. Cover, or place back in retail  
carton if available. This will  
prevent the heater from accu-  
mulating dust overtime.  
5. Press the power button on. Your Vornado Heater should now func-  
tion normally and return to the last stored setting.  
3. Store heater in a cool and dry  
location.  
Note: If the safety shut off system  
repeatedly shuts off your heater or if it  
will not reset after following the above  
procedure, call Vornado Consumer  
Services Department toll-free at  
1-800-234-0604.
