Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not properly plugged in or power outlet issue. | Ensure the plug is fully inserted into a working electrical outlet. Check the power supply. |
| Hair gets tangled in the curling chamber. | Hair section too large or not properly combed. | Use smaller, well-combed sections of hair (max 1 inch wide). Ensure hair is dry and free of tangles. The intelligent feedback system with auto stop helps prevent tangles. |
| Curls are not holding. | Incorrect temperature or timer setting for hair type. | Adjust heat and timer settings. Finer hair may require lower heat and shorter times, while thicker hair may need higher heat and longer times. Ensure hair is completely dry. |
