Never use the face tanner if the timer is defective.
Colours may fade under the influence of the sun.The same effect
may occur when using the appliance.
Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than natural
sunlight.
If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must always be
replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips in
order to avoid hazardous situations.
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 sunlight
provides the heat in which we like to bask.
UV 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
'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?').
Overexposure to ultraviolet 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.
It is therefore highly important:
- that you follow the instructions given in the chapters 'Important' and
'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';
- that the tanning distance (the distance between the appliance and
your face) is 10 cm;
- that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per
year (i.e. 25 hours or 1500 minutes);
- that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.
