This document describes the BaByliss Conical Wand C454U, a hair styling appliance designed for creating curls. It provides comprehensive safety instructions, operational guidelines, and maintenance advice to ensure safe and effective use.
The BaByliss Conical Wand C454U is a hair styling tool primarily used for curling hair. It features a conical barrel that heats up to various temperatures, allowing users to create different types of curls. The appliance is designed for consumer use, offering a range of heat settings to suit different hair types, from delicate to thick. Its core function is to apply controlled heat to sections of hair, shaping them into curls that hold once cooled. The device incorporates an automatic shut-off feature for safety, turning off after 60 minutes of continuous operation. A heat protective glove is provided to safeguard the user's hand during the styling process, particularly when wrapping hair around the hot barrel.
The Conical Wand C454U is designed with several features to enhance its usability and safety during operation.
Activation and Temperature Control: The appliance incorporates a delayed activation control system. Upon turning the appliance on by pressing and holding the power button for 1-2 seconds, the digital display will flash, indicating that it is heating up. Users can adjust the temperature settings immediately after activation using the '+/-' button. However, after 5 seconds of being on, the temperature buttons automatically lock to prevent accidental changes during styling. To adjust the heat settings after this lock, the user must hold down the '+/-' button for 1-2 seconds to deactivate the lock mode. Once the desired temperature is reached, the digital display will stop flashing and remain solid in colour. To turn off the appliance while in lock mode, the power button must be held down until the appliance switches off.
Heat Settings: The Conical Wand offers 6 temperature settings: 160°C, 170°C, 180°C, 190°C, 200°C, and 210°C. Users are advised to select a heat setting appropriate for their hair type. Lower heat settings are recommended for delicate, fine, bleached, or coloured hair, while higher settings are suitable for thicker hair. It is suggested to perform a test on initial use to determine the correct temperature for a specific hair type, starting with the lowest setting and gradually increasing it until the desired result is achieved.
Styling Process: Before styling, ensure hair is dry and combed to remove tangles, then divide it into sections. The universal heat glove should be worn on the hand used to wrap hair around the barrel. To curl, take a section of hair, starting 2 inches from the scalp, and place the appliance next to it with the end pointing towards the shoulder. Wind the hair around the barrel, starting from the top part closest to the handle and continuing down the length until all hair is wrapped. Hold the end of the hair in place for 5-8 seconds, depending on hair type, then unwind or release the section and pull the appliance away. Allow the curl to cool before further styling. This process should be repeated for each section of hair. After use, press and hold the power button for 1-2 seconds to switch off and unplug the appliance, then allow it to cool before storing.
Safety Features: The appliance includes several safety measures. It is crucial to keep the Conical Wand out of reach of children, both during and after use, and while it is cooling. Extra care should be taken if used on or near children, and it is not suitable for very young children. The appliance gets extremely hot, so users should only hold the handle and avoid touching the hot surfaces. Direct contact of the hot surface with skin, particularly the eyes, ears, face, and neck, should be avoided.
Automatic Shut-Off: For added safety, the appliance features an automatic shut-off function. If left switched on continuously for more than 60 minutes, it will automatically turn off. If continued use is desired after this period, the user simply needs to press and hold the power button for 1-2 seconds to reactivate it.
Heat Mat: A heat mat is provided for use during and after styling. This mat helps protect heat-sensitive surfaces from the hot appliance. However, even with the mat, users should avoid placing the hot appliance on any heat-sensitive surface. After use, the appliance should be immediately wrapped in the heat mat and allowed to cool completely, remaining out of reach of children as it will stay hot for several minutes.
Heat Protective Glove: A universal heat protective glove is supplied to offer temporary protection to the hand when wrapping hair around the hot barrel. It is important to note that this glove provides initial contact protection only, and prolonged contact with the hot surface will still cause discomfort.
Environmental Considerations: For users outside the UK, if the appliance is used in a bathroom, it must be unplugged after use due to the danger posed by the proximity of water, even when switched off. For additional protection in such cases, the installation of a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying the bathroom is advisable. The appliance must not be used near bathtubs, showers, basins, or other vessels containing water, nor should it be immersed in water or other liquids.
Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep the BaByliss Conical Wand C454U in optimal condition and ensure its longevity.
General Care: Users should always inspect the appliance for any noticeable signs of damage before each use. If the appliance is damaged or has been dropped, discontinue use immediately and contact the Conair Customer Care Line. No repair should be attempted by the consumer. Similarly, if the lead is damaged, discontinue use immediately; it must be replaced by the manufacturer, and the appliance should be returned to the Customer Care Centre.
Storage: After use, allow the appliance to cool completely before storing it away. Do not coil the lead tightly around the appliance, as this can cause damage. Instead, coil the lead loosely by the side of the appliance. The appliance should not be used at a stretch from the power point.
Cleaning: Always unplug the appliance when not in use or before cleaning. Children should not perform cleaning and maintenance without supervision.
Accessories: Only use accessories recommended by BaByliss with this appliance.

Instead, it should be handed to an appropriate collection point for the recycling of Electrical and Electronic equipment. Correct disposal helps prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health that could arise from inappropriate waste handling. For more detailed information on recycling, users should contact their local council office or household waste disposal service.
