WHOLE ROOM VS. ZONE HEAT  
For the first time, you now have the choice between Whole Room Warmth OR a Personalized Zone Heat with the Vornado Dual Zone Infrared  
Heater. The IR400 has the ability to use Vornados signature  
Whole Room Heat circulation to deliver continuous, uniform heat to the entire  
room, or switch to a Personal Zone Heat for extra-warm heat just for you.  
WHOLE ROOM  
PERSONAL ZONE HEAT  
The Zone setting on your IR400 focuses  
heat in the space directly around the  
heater. This allows your personal space  
to become immediately warm without  
evenly heating the entire room.  
OR  
IR400 uses a special airflow called  
Whole Room Heat Circulation  
to heat all the air in the room. The  
air flows fast, warm and gentle to  
create a heating experience unlike  
any other and allows you to heat the  
room you’re in, not the whole house.
