The tanning appliance With this tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home.The tanning lamps emit visible light, heat and ultraviolet, giving you the impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight.The special UV filter only passes the radiation that is required to get a tan. The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared to provide a comfortable warmth. Type HB975 only: besides a tanning session, you can take a relax session by just switching on the special infrared lamps. A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than 30 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see chapters 'UV, tanning and your health' and 'IR, relaxation 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 wall socket used to power the appliance has poor connections, the plug of the appliance will become hot. Make sure you plug the appliance into a properly connected wall socket. The appliance must be connected to a circuit that is protected with a 16A standard fuse or a slow-blow 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 centre and side 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 switched off automatically. Once the cause of overheating has been removed and the appliance has cooled down, the appliance can be switch on again. The UV filters become very hot when using the appliance. Do not touch them. ENGLISH 7 The appliance contains hinging parts, so be careful not to get your fingers stuck between the parts. The rubber parts fitted onto the appliance may give off a slight smell the first times you use the appliance.This is not an assembly fault.This smell will disappear after a few sessions. 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 or the maximum number of tanning hours (see "UV tanning sessions: how often and how long?"). Do not take a tanning and/or relax 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 or IR. 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 ulcers, moles or persistent lumps develop on the skin. 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 and IR (also see the chapter "UV, 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 suncreams 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. 8 ENGLISH 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 "UV tanning sessions: how often and how long?"). Overexposure to ultraviolet (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 radiation 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, 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 "UV 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. 19 hours or 1140 minutes); B that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning. IR, relaxation and your health (HB975 only) Warmth has a relaxing effect.Think of what a hot bath or lazing in the sunshine does to you.You can enjoy the same relaxing effect by switching on the infrared lamps. Bear in mind the following when you have a relax session: - Avoid getting too hot. Increase the distance between yourself and the lamps, if necessary. - If your head gets too hot, cover it or move your body so that less heat is radiated towards your head. - Close your eyes during a relax session. - Do not let the relax session last too long (see chapter 'Relax sessions: how often and how long?'). UV 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 sessions. After this 5- to 10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a rest for a while. ENGLISH 9 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 19 tanning hours (=1140 minutes) a year. These maximum hours a year also count 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 a 7-minute session on the first day and a 20-minute session on the nine following days. The entire course will then last (1 x 7 minutes) + (9x 20 minutes) = 187minutes. This means you can take 6 of these courses in a year, as 6 x 187 minutes = 1122 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 and front of the body). As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 7 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 rays. For persons with very sensitive skin 7 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes 10 minutes For persons with normal sensitive skin 7 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 For persons with less sensitive skin 7 minutes 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* 30 minutes* Duration of the UV 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 *) or longer, depending on your skin sensitivity. 10 ENGLISH If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream. REMARK If you tan just a part of your body, you can also use the table above together with the information about tanning sessions 'how often and how long'. If you use function º or function ªº, we advise you to extend the tanning sessions by approximately 5 minutes.This does not apply to the first tanning session, which must not last longer than 7 minutes. Relax sessions: how often and how long? Type HB975 only If you do not want to get up right away after the tanning session, you can switch on the infrared lamps for a relax session, during which the infrared lamps keep you warm. You can also take a relax session without a tanning session.You can do this several times a day (e.g. 30 minutes in the morning and in the evening). Preparing for use C The appliance can be easily moved and stored in transport position. C FACIAL If you want to give your face an extra tan (HB971 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), make sure you place the appliance at the correct side of the bed.
