Ordinary heaters provide only localized heat. Heat immediately rises
to the ceiling, resulting in cold and hot spots in the room. Vornado’s

Please visually inspect all internal and external components before connecting to electric current. If any damage is found,
DO NOT USE THIS UNIT and contact Vornado Air LLC at 1-800-234-0604.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
injury to persons, including the following:
Read all instructions before using this heater.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening
as this may cause an electric shock or fire, or damage the heater.
This heater is hot when in use. To avoid burns, do not let bare skin touch hot
surfaces. Use handles when moving this heater. Keep combustible materials, such
as furniture, pillows, bedding, papers, clothes, and curtains at least 3 feet (0.9 m)
from the front of the heater and keep them away from the sides and rear.
To prevent a possible fire, do not block air intakes or exhaust in any manner. Do
not use on soft surfaces, like a bed, where openings may become blocked.
A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in areas where
gasoline, paint, or flammable liquids are used or stored.
Extreme caution is necessary when any heater is used by or near children or
invalids and whenever the heater is left operating and unattended.
Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not recommended
by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Always unplug heater when not in use.
Do not operate any heater with a damaged cord or plug or after the heater
malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Discard heater, or
return to authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle. Never use with an
extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/power strip). Operate this heater
only in its upright position. Do not operate this heater on an elevated surface such
as a shelf or desktop. Use only while placed on the floor.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not operate this product with any electronic speed-control device on the
same circuit.
This heater is not intended for use in bathrooms, laundry areas and similar indoor
locations. Never locate heater where it may fall into a bathtub or other water
container.
Do not use heater to dry human or animal hair/fur or articles of clothing.
Do not run cord under carpeting. Do not cover cord with throw rugs, runners, or
similar coverings. Do not route cord under furniture or appliances. Arrange cord
away from traffic area and where it will not be tripped over.
This heater is equipped with a thermal safety shut-off system, designed to turn
off the heater when an internal overheating condition is detected (see How To
Use “RESETTING YOUR VORNADO HEATER,” to determine how to check and
reset the heater).
To disconnect heater, turn controls to off, then remove plug from outlet.
Connect to properly grounded outlets only.
This heater operates with an infrared remote control. Interference between this
remote and other remote-control-operated electrical appliances in your home is
possible.

HOw TO uSE
Using your Vornado Heater is easy. Just follow these simple steps.
1. Position your heater so the vortex beam of warm air is directed
across the room unobstructed. Position it in a location that
is representative of the room temperature. Avoid areas of
temperature extremes such as cold drafts and heat registers.
Please refer to IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS at the beginning of
this owner’s guide.
This product is equipped with a 3-prong plug, with a grounding pin as a
safety feature. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended
to connect to properly grounded outlets only. This plug will fit into a
grounded outlet only one way. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety purpose of the grounding plug.
2. Plug into a standard grounded wall outlet.
3. Press the POWER button.
4. Select the mode you wish to use (Low, High or Fan Only.)
This product must be grounded. If the product malfunctions, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for the electric current to reduce the risk
of electric shock. The 3-prong plug must be inserted into a grounded outlet
that has been properly installed in accordance with all electric codes and
ordinances. If you are in doubt as to whether or not an outlet is properly
grounded, contact a qualified electrician.
5. Set thermostat to desired temperature using the up and
down arrows.
caRE & MainTEnancE
This heater is for use on 120 volts. The cord has a plug as shown at A in
Figure 65.1. An adapter as shown at C is available for connecting three-
blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The green grounding
lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground
such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should not be used if
a three slot grounded receptacle is available.
Your heater has no user serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the
unit – it will void your warranty. If service is required, return your
heater to Vornado (see Warranty section).
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
Because your heater moves a substantial amount of air, it will require
regular cleaning. Be sure to unplug the unit prior to any
cleaning activity.
Use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment to clean any
accumulated dust on the front grill and the side air inlets.
During the off-season or extended periods of non-use, store your
heater. Unplug the unit and bundle the cord. Save the plastic bag
the heater was shipped in so you can cover the unit and minimize
settling dust.

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, a foreign object prevents the blade from turning,
or the appliance tips over. If this happens, the safety shut-off system
will cut power to the heat element and you will need to manually reset
the heater.

OpERaTing TipS
aDVancED SafETy fEaTuRES
TIGHT GRILL SPIRALS
Resists curious fingers.
To properly carry the heater, place one hand on the
back opening and use your other hand to hold from
the front (see picture).
In smaller areas, you might prefer to set the unit in
LOW mode. A vortex beam of air will gently keep the
air circulating in the room for even, uniform heating.
COOL TOUCH CASE
Safe to touch, even on high heat setting.
In larger spaces, you might prefer to set the unit in HIGH mode. A
vortex beam of air will gently keep the air circulating in the room for
even, uniform heating.
To use the TVH 500 as a personal fan, set the mode to FAN position.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY SHUT OFF SYSTEM
If airflow becomes blocked, power to the heating
element is shut off to prevent overheating.
The TVH 500, like any other 1500-watt electric heater, draws up
to 12.5 amps of electric current. If using your TVH 500 on HIGH
setting causes your home circuit breaker or fuse to trip, we offer the
following suggestions:
TIP-OVER PROTECTION
If tipped over, power to the heating element and fan
motor is reduced to prevent overheating.
Try turning off other electrical appliances that run on the same circuit
as your heater.
Run your heater in LOW mode.
Have your electrician add an additional circuit to your home’s
electrical system.
IDEAL 120°F EXIT AIR TEMPERATURE
Warm enough to heat an entire room.
When the room temperature is higher than the set temperature it is
normal and correct to have little to no heat coming out of the TVH500.
When the unit is first turned on there is a slight delay before heat will
start to be produced.
GROUNDED HEAVY-DUTY POWER CORD
Adds durability and a more secure wall connection.
ALWAYS USE COMMON SENSE WHEN USING THIS AND/OR
ANY ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE.
