| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Iron does not heat up or displays an error message. | No power, faulty outlet, internal malfunction. | Check power connection and outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Iron heats slowly. | Normal warm-up time, power fluctuation. | Allow adequate time for the iron to reach the set temperature. Ensure a stable power supply. |
| Temperature is inconsistent. | Incorrect temperature setting for material, external factors. | Verify the temperature setting is appropriate for your material. Ensure consistent contact with the material. |
