Safety first: Treat the heating plate as hot long after switch-off. Unplug before moving or cleaning the press; do not defeat its interlocks or open mains-voltage and heater compartments. Keep fabric, cables and skin out of the moving platen.

01
E1 or E2 occurs after strong draft or unstable input
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Power off and cool, provide a stable correctly rated wall outlet, keep unobstructed ventilation without direct fan/AC blowing at platen, then try one supervised startup.
How to tell it is fixed: Error clears and heat rises to target normally.
02
Code returns on stable outlet during preheat
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Temperature sensing/heater control needs professional service with the first-generation module.
- Do not bypass a thermistor, defeat overtemperature protection or substitute a generic heat-press sensor.
How to tell it is fixed: Serviced unit holds target without E1/E2 through repeat preheat cycles.
