Important Safety Warning

Turn off power at the circuit breaker before installation. Ceiling fan installation may require two people due to weight. If you're not comfortable with electrical work, hire a licensed electrician.

What You'll Need

Vornado ATOM 2S AE Smart Oscillating Fan
Smartphone with the Vornado app
Ladder
Screwdriver and wire strippers
Fan-rated electrical box (required - must support fan weight)
Wire nuts

Step 1: Turn Off Power

Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Use a voltage tester to confirm no power is present.

Step 2: Remove Old Fixture

Remove the existing light fixture or fan. If replacing a light, you may need to install a fan-rated electrical box.

Step 3: Install Mounting Bracket

Attach the Vornado ATOM 2S AE Smart Oscillating Fan mounting bracket to the electrical box. Ensure it's secure - it must support the full weight of the fan.

Step 4: Assemble the Fan

Follow the manufacturer's instructions to assemble the fan motor, blades, and light kit (if included). This is usually easier to do before mounting.

Step 5: Connect Wires

Connect the wires: black to black (or red for separate light control), white to white, and green to green/bare ground. Secure with wire nuts and wrap with electrical tape.

Step 6: Mount the Fan

Hang the fan motor on the mounting bracket. This is where a second person helps. Secure according to instructions.

Step 7: Install Blades and Light

Attach the fan blades and light kit. Balance the blades if the fan wobbles.

Step 8: Restore Power and Set Up

Turn the power back on. Download the Vornado app and add the fan. Configure speeds, light settings, and schedules.

Smart Home Integration

The Vornado ATOM 2S AE Smart Oscillating Fan works with Google Home, Amazon Alexa via WiFi. Control fan speed and lights with voice commands or automations.

Troubleshooting

Fan wobbles: Check blade balance and tighten all screws
Makes noise: Ensure all parts are secure and blades are balanced
Remote not working: Check batteries and re-pair with receiver
