Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Ballu heater:

• Cleaning: Ensure the heater is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or allow water to enter the unit.
• Storage: When not in use, especially during warmer seasons, cover the heater with the provided dust-proof storage cover to prevent dust accumulation. This helps avoid a 'dust smell' when reactivating the heater.
• Quiet Operation: The fanless design ensures quiet operation (0dB), eliminating the need for fan-related maintenance.
• Non-Drying Heat: The convection heating method provides gentle, consistent warmth without drying out the air.

Troubleshooting

If your heater is not functioning as expected, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Heater Not Turning On: If the heater does not turn on, it may be due to the overheat protection or tip-over protection being activated. Unplug the power cord, wait for 15 minutes to allow the unit to cool down, and then press the safety reset button (located on the back of the unit, if applicable) before plugging it back in.
• No Heat Output: Ensure the desired temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature. Check that the heater is plugged into a functioning 120V outlet.
• Inconsistent Heating: Verify that the room size setting in the app is correctly configured for your space. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the heat output.
• Remote Control Not Responding: Check and replace the AAA batteries in the remote control. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the heater.
• App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your heater is within range of your 2.4G WiFi network. Restart your router and the heater, then attempt to reconnect via the app.
