Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flat iron not heating up. | Not plugged in correctly, power outlet issue, or internal malfunction. | Ensure it is fully plugged in. Try a different outlet. If still not working, contact customer support. |
| Hair snagging or pulling. | Hair not properly detangled, plates not fully closed, or product residue on plates. | Ensure hair is fully detangled. Clean the plates. Ensure hair section is thin enough to fit between plates without forcing. |
| Hair not straightening effectively. | Temperature setting too low, hair sections too large, or iron not gliding smoothly. | Increase temperature setting. Use smaller hair sections. Ensure plates are clean and gliding freely. |
| Automatic shut-off activates too quickly. | This is a safety feature (60-minute auto shut-off). | This is normal operation. If it shuts off much sooner than 60 minutes, contact customer support. |
