The SteamPod 3 is a professional hair styler designed for straightening and styling hair using steam technology. It is a collaboration between L'Oréal Professionnel and Rowenta Salon.

Function Description:

The SteamPod 3 is a professional steam styler that uses a continuous flow of steam to straighten and style hair. It is designed to be used with demineralized water, which is stored in a removable tank. The device features temperature settings suitable for various hair types, and its design includes a removable comb and floating plates to facilitate efficient styling. The steam output and temperature are controlled to ensure optimal results while minimizing damage to the hair. The styler is suitable for both general public and professional use.

Important Technical Specifications:

Temperature Settings: The device offers three temperature levels: 180°C, 200°C, and 210°C. The 210°C setting is recommended for natural, thick, strong, uncolored, or unhighlighted hair.
Water Type: Requires commercially available demineralized water. Using water with additives (starch, perfume, aromatic substances, softener, etc.) or from heating/cooling systems or condensation sources (e.g., clothes driers, refrigerators, air conditioners, rainwater) is not recommended as it can lead to scaling and poor performance, which is not covered by the warranty.
Sound Pressure Level: The A-weighted sound pressure level is below 70 dB(A).
Rated Power: Based on a typical usage cycle of 10 seconds open plates and 10 seconds closed plates.
Safety Features:
- Equipped with a residual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual operating current not exceeding 30mA, which is recommended for electrical circuit supplying the bathroom.
- Automatic shut-off if not in use for a certain period (not explicitly stated but implied by "power safe mode").
- Designed for use by children aged 8 years and above, and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning safe use and understand the hazards involved. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be performed by children without supervision.
Model Information: Model LP72, manufactured by Groupe SEB, 38780 Pont Eveque – France.

Usage Features:

Preparation:
- Ensure the hair is completely dry before use.
- Fill the removable water tank with demineralized water. To do this, press the two buttons at the bottom of the tank, lift it up, then lift the tab and fill to the maximum level using the provided bottle. Reinsert the tank by placing the front first, then pressing the back until it snaps into place.
Operation:
- Turn on the appliance using the ON/OFF button.
- Adjust the temperature using the temperature adjustment button to suit your hair type. The selected temperature will flash until the device reaches the desired heat.
- When styling, ensure the steam outlets and comb are pointing towards the ends of the hair.
- Pass the styler slowly through small sections of hair.
- Using SteamPod cosmetics (not included) is recommended for optimal results.
Troubleshooting:
- Hair not properly straightened: Check if the appliance was used the right way round (steam outlets and comb pointing to hair ends), if the styler was passed slowly enough, if SteamPod cosmetics were used, if hair was completely dry, and if the correct temperature was selected.
- No visible steam: In humid environments, steam may not be visible but is still effective. If no steam is produced, check if the tank is correctly filled and snapped into place, and if the appliance has reached its set temperature.
- Appliance not heating up: Check if the appliance is in power safe mode.
- All lights flashing: If all temperature lights flash simultaneously, take the appliance to an Approved Service Center.
- Top plate not fixed: This is normal; the appliance has a movable plate for more efficient straightening.
- Water leakage/issues water from steam outlets: Unplug immediately and take to an Approved Service Center.
- Steam stops intermittently: This is normal; the appliance is designed to regulate steam with a controlled flow.
