Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on. | No power supply. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. |
| Drying is ineffective. | Hoses not properly inserted; incorrect mode/timer selected; blocked air vents. | Ensure hoses are deep inside shoes. Select appropriate mode and longer drying time. Check and clear any obstructions from air vents. |
| Unusual smell during operation. | Initial use smell; ozone generation. | A slight smell may occur during initial uses. The ozonation mode produces ozone, which has a distinct smell. Ensure adequate ventilation. If the smell is strong or burning, discontinue use and contact support. |
