28” or 40” heights make this model perfect for outof- the-way placement behind furniture and office furnishings. The extension tube must be used to achieve the 40” height. To shorten the height of the circulator, remove the extension tube. (See the Adjustable Height assembly instructions in the shipping carton.)

How To Use
When To Use – Saves Energy Year-Round
Summer: Use your Air Circulator with your home’s air conditioning system to create brisk, comforting air movement. This breeze will eliminate stagnant air and remove body heat to make you feel cooler.
With Vornado Air Circulators, you can save money on energy bills by raising your thermostat several degrees and still maintaining the same comfort level.
Spring & Fall: Your Air Circulator can make the indoors as fresh and pleasant as the outdoors. Place the Air Circulator near an open window, sliding door or French door to take full advantage of mild temperatures and seasonal breezes.
Winter: Position your Air Circulator in a place with unobstructed upward air movement. Run it only as fast as necessary to lower the heated air from the ceiling – but not fast enough to create a draft. Or, use your Air Circulator with other available heat sources (furnace vents, wood stoves or baseboard heaters) to circulate their warmth, taking full advantage of all available heat in the room. Do not point the Air Circulator at open flames.
Getting Started
- Position your Air Circulator so the beam of air has an unobstructed path from one side of the room to the other.
- Set speed to medium and allow a few minutes for an airflow pattern to be established. (Different airflow patterns can be established by changing the location, angle and speed of the Air Circulator.)
- Adjust the speed accordingly until a desired comfort level is achieved. You will quickly determine the precise amount of circulation required to maintain your personal comfort in a given room for the prevailing temperature and humidity conditions. Once you discover the added comfort of air circulation, you will use your Vornado Air Circulator season after season.

Models 510, 530, 610, 630, 723, 733, 743, 783, 735, 745, 795 • Remove the screw (only necessary on model 530). Depress one of the grill clips (A) by placing your thumb against the outside surface of the clip and pressing downward towards the motor, applying slight pressure forward. A flathead screwdriver can also be used if the clips are difficult to release. Usually by releasing one clip, the grill can be removed. If the grill cannot be removed, repeat the process on remaining clips. Replace by lining up the clips with the holes and firmly snapping the grill back into place. Replace the screw (model 530 only).
Models 533, 633, 753 • Remove the 3 screws located in between the ribs of the inlet grill at roughly 10, 2, and 6 o’clock positions. Screw locations are indicated by an arrow on the side of air inlet (B). Do Not remove the 2 screws on the pivot arms. Place the circulator facing you. Position your hands at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions, lift up and back on the outer grill to release the grill clips (C). If necessary repeat the process against the remaining two clips at the 5 and 7 o’clock positions. Replace by lining up the clips with the holes and firmly snapping the grill back into place. Replace all the screws.
Model 133 • Remove the 4 screws located at the back at the outer most edge of the inlet grill at roughly 2, 5, 7 and 11 o’clock positions, releasing the grill. To reattach – position the grill so the logo in the center of the grill is straight and replace screws.
Model 160 • Remove the 4 screws located in between the ribs of the inlet grill at roughly 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions, releasing the grill. To reattach – position grill so the logo in the center of the grill is straight and replace screws.
Model 360 • The grill on your model will be able to be removed in one of two ways. Check the back of your unit to see how many screws your unit has and follow the appropriate instructions.
Instruction A • Feel for bumps on back of product, close to inlets, that help to locate screws at roughly 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions. Remove the 4 screws located at these positions, releasing the grill. To reattach – position grill so the logo in the center of the grill is straight and replace screws.
Instruction B • Remove the 2 screws located in between the ribs of the inlet grill at roughly 9 and 3 o’clock positions, releasing the grill. To reattach – position grill so the logo in the center of the grill is straight and replace the 2 screws.
Model 660 • The grill on your model will be able to be removed in one of two ways. Check the back of unit and follow Instructions A if you do not have buttons along the side. Follow Instructions B if you do have buttons along the side of unit.
Instruction A • Remove the 3 screws as indicated. Replace by lining up the holes and replacing all 3 screws securely into place.
Instructions B • Remove screw on the bottom of head of unit on the left side of the chrome glide bar. Depress the 3 buttons (D) to release the grill. Replace by lining up the buttons with the holes and firmly snapping the grill back into place. Replace the screw.
Models V102, 270 • Remove the screw located at the 6 o’clock position. Rotate the grill counter-clockwise to unlock and then lift off. To reinstall the grill, position the grill with the logo slightly turned to the left and rotate clockwise. Replace the screw.
Models 573, 673, 679 • Remove the 8 screws around the perimeter of the frame and lift off. To reinstall the grill, line up screw holes and replace screws.
Blade Removal
It is possible to remove the blade should something accidentally get wrapped around the motor shaft. First, remove the nut from the shaft (only necessary on V102, 133, 270, 573, 533, 633, 673, 679, 743 and 753 models.) Turn the nut clockwise to loosen. Pull the blade straight out from the shaft. When replacing, the blade can only go on the shaft one way. Be certain the flat side of the shaft aligns directly with the corresponding flat side on the blade’s socket. Push the blade all the way on the shaft until it bottoms out. Do not use a hammer as this could result in bearing damage. Reinstall nut on applicable models.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Because your Air Circulator moves a substantial amount of air, it will need regular cleaning. To avoid risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons, unplug the unit before any cleaning activity.
The motor is permanently lubricated and requires no oiling.
To clean motor cap and inlet ribs: Use a common household vacuum. Do not use water to clean these parts of the Air Circulator.
To clean grill: Remove grill (See GRILL REMOVAL instructions) and dust or wash with a mild dishwashing soap. Do not place grill in the dishwasher. The excessive heat can distort the plastic.
To clean blade: Wipe with a damp cloth. If your Air Circulator is used in a greasy environment, such as a kitchen, mild soap or a common household cleaner may be necessary. Do not use solvents.
To clean base: Wipe with a damp cloth.
