The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared light to provide a comfortable warmth. A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than 30 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see chapter 'Tanning and your health'). Important Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance. If the plug has not been inserted properly into the wall socket, it may become hot. Make sure you insert the plug properly into the wall socket. If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. The appliance must be connected to a circuit that is protected with a 16A standard fuse or automatic fuse. Always unplug the appliance after use. Water and electricity are a dangerous combination! Do not use this appliance in wet surroundings (e.g. in the bathroom or near a shower or swimming pool). If you have just been swimming or have just taken a shower, dry yourself thoroughly before using the appliance. Let the appliance cool down after use for approx. 15 minutes before folding it back into transport position and storing it. Make sure the vents in the lamp units and in the base remain open during use. The appliance has been fitted with an automatic protection against overheating. If the appliance is insufficiently cooled (e.g. because the vents are covered), the appliance will switch off automatically. Once the cause of overheating has been removed and the appliance has cooled down, the appliance can be switched on again. The UV filters become very hot when using the appliance. Do not touch them. The appliance contains hinging parts, so be careful not to get your fingers stuck between these parts. Never use the appliance when a UV filter is damaged, broken or missing. Never use the appliance when the remote control is defective. Make sure children do not play with the appliance. Do not exceed the recommended session time and the maximum number of tanning hours (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'). Do not take a tanning session if you have a disease and/or if you use a medication or cosmetics that increase the sensitivity of your skin. Be extra careful if you are hypersensitive to UV light or infrared light. Consult your doctor in case of doubt. Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day.Avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day. Consult your doctor if persistent lumps or sores appear on the skin, or if there are changes in pigmented moles. The appliance is not to be used by people who get sunburnt without tanning when exposed to the sun, by persons suffering from sunburn, by children, or by persons who suffer (or have previously suffered) from skin cancer or who are predisposed to skin cancer. Always wear the protective goggles provided with the appliance while tanning to protect your eyes from excessive doses of visible light, UV light and infrared light (also see the chapter 'Tanning and your health'). Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well in advance of a tanning session. Do not use any quick-tan lotions or creams meant to speed up the tanning process. Do not use sun creams or lotions meant to protect your skin against sunburn. If your skin should feel taut after the tanning session, you may apply a moisturising cream. To acquire an even tan you should lie directly below the lamp units. Do not choose a tanning distance of less than 65 cm. Only move the appliance when it is in transport position. Make sure that the two parts of the appliance have been properly fastened before you move it. Do not attempt to lift the appliance on your own. Colours may fade under the influence of the sun.The same effect may occur when using this appliance. Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the natural sun. Tanning and your health The sun, UV and tanning The sun The sun supplies various types of energy.Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunrays provides the heat in which we like to bask. UV, tanning and your health Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process will take some time.The first effect will only become visible after a few sessions (see chapter 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'). Overexposure to UV light (natural sunlight or artificial light from your tanning appliance) can cause sunburn. Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a tanning appliance may increase the risk of skin and eye problems.The degree to which these effects occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the exposure on the one hand and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other hand. The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature skin ageing and the development of skin tumours will be. Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin. Therefore it is highly important: B that you follow the instructions in chapters 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'. B that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filters and the body) is 65 cm. B that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (i.e. 20 hours or 1200 minutes). B that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning. ENGLISH 5 Tanning sessions: how often and how long? Do not take more than one tanning session per day, over a period of five to ten days. Allow an interval of at least 48 hours between the first and the second session. After this 5- to 10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a rest for a while. Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan.You can then start a new course. If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue taking one or two tanning sessions a week. Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you continue tanning on a lower frequency, do remember that you must not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours. For this appliance the maximum is 20 tanning hours (=1200 minutes) a year. This maximum also holds if you use the appliance for the tanning of parts of your body (function º and ªº). Example Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with an 8-minute session on the first day and a 20-minute session on the nine following days. The entire course will then last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes. This means you can take 6 of these courses in a year, as 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 minutes. Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate part or side of the body that is tanned (e.g. the back or front of the body). As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 8 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin. B B If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. because your skin feels taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the length of the sessions by e.g. 5 minutes. For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so that the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning light. For persons with very sensitive skin For persons with normal sensitive skin For persons with less sensitive skin Duration of the tanning session for each separate part of the body 1st session rest of at least 48 hours 2nd session 3rd session 4th session 5th session 6th session 7th session 8th session 9th session 10th session 8 minutes 8 minutes 8 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 20-25 minutes 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* *) or longer, depending on your skin sensitivity. If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream. B Note: If you are only tanning a part of your body, you can also use the tanning schedules mentioned in the table above, together with the information in the chapter 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?' Preparing for use The appliance can be easily moved and stored in transport position (fig. 2). If you want to give your face an extra tan (types HB953, HB952 and HB951 only) or if you only want to tan a part of your body (i.e. just the legs or the upper half of your body; types HB953 and HB952 only), make sure you place the appliance at the correct side of the bed (fig. 3). 1 Open the appliance by pulling the catches on both sides of the base out as indicated by the arrow (fig. 4). The upper part of the appliance is now unlocked. 2 The upper part comes slightly up (by itself or with a little help) (fig. 5). 3 Grab the handle with both hands and put one foot against the appliance to prevent it from sliding away.Tilt the upper part by pulling the handle and tracing an arc with it (fig. 6). Do not tilt the upper part too far. 4 Pull the upper part up and towards you at the same time (fig. 7). This requires some effort. 5 Move both lamp units sideways as far as possible, until they are in line with each other (fig. 8). 6 The distance between the UV filters and your body must be 65 cm.The distance between the UV filters and the surface on which you are lying down (e.g. a bed) must be 85 cm (fig. 9). 7 Support the upper part of the stand when you set or adjust the height of the appliance (fig. 10). Loosen knob 'A' by turning it anti-clockwise (two or three turns). 6 ENGLISH 8 Put your hand under the horizontal part of the stand and extend the stand to the required height (fig. 11). 9 Firmly fasten knob 'A' again and release the stand (fig. 12). You can determine whether the appliance has been set to the required height by pulling out the measuring tape (fig. 13). The measuring tape will automatically rewind if you move the red tab sideways (fig. 14). The appliance is now ready for use.

B B B Note: During start-up the tanning lamps may produce a humming sound.This sound will stop as soon as the lamps are burning properly. Note:The tanning lamps will start to emit a visibly stronger light after about 60 seconds, which means they are now burning at full power. From this moment onwards you can switch the facial tanner on or off. Note: If the lamps fail to go on after about 20 seconds, switch the appliance off (), let the lamps cool down for 3 minutes, set the tanning time an ...
