How to Use

Fill the tank - Press the two release buttons, lift out the tank, open the tab, and fill to MAX with demineralized water only. Refit the front first, then press the back until it clicks.
Power on and set temperature - Plug in, switch ON, and choose 180° C, 200° C, or 210° C. Wait until the selected temperature stops flashing before styling.
Prep hair - Work on hair that is 100 percent dry and fully detangled. Hold with the arrows facing down and the comb leading; glide slowly from root to tip; 1-2 passes are usually enough.
Cord care - Keep the cord straight and untwisted. Unplug after use and let the tool cool before storing.

Pro Tip: For neat sections and fewer passes, pair SteamPod with XanitaliaPro combs, clips and heat-resistant styling tools — use a fine-tooth comb for precision passes and a tail comb for clean partings.
