Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in correctly or power outlet issue. | Ensure the plug is fully inserted into a working electrical outlet. Check the circuit breaker. |
| Appliance is not heating up. | Temperature setting is too low or internal fault. | Increase the temperature setting. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Hair is not straightening effectively. | Hair is too wet, sections are too large, or temperature is too low. | Ensure hair is completely dry. Use smaller sections of hair. Increase the temperature setting if suitable for your hair type. |
