Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference.
Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.
Never use this appliance when the timer is defective.
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.
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination! Do not use the appliance in wet surroundings (e.g. in a bathroom or shower-room
or near a swimming pool).
If you have just been swimming or have just taken a shower, dry yourself thoroughly before using the appliance.
Make sure that children do not play with the appliance.
Make sure the vents in the back of the appliance remain open during use
Do not exceed the recommended tanning times and the maximum number of tanning hours (see the chapter 'Tanning sessions: How
often and how long?').
Do not choose a tanning distance of less than 10 cm.
Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day.Avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day.
Do not use this tanning appliance if you have a disease and/or if you use a medicine that increases the sensitivity of your skin. Consult
your doctor in case of doubt.
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.
Consult your doctor if persistent lumps or sores appear on the skin, or if there are changes in pigmented moles.
Always wear the protective goggles supplied while tanning to protect your eyes against overexposure (see also the section 'UV, tanning
and your health').
Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well in advance of a tanning session.
Do not use any sunscreens or suntan accelerators.
If your skin feels taut after the tanning session, you may apply a moisturising cream.
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.
Always unplug the appliance after use.
Let the appliance cool down for approx. 15 minutes before storing it.
Tanning and your health
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.
Table-top tanning appliance
With this table-top tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home. A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than
60 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see the section 'UV, tanning and your health').
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.
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.
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 in the chapters 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';
-
that the tanning distance (distance between the lamps and the body) is at least 10 cm.
-
that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (i.e. 30 hours or 1800 minutes);
-
that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.
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, always keep in mind that you
must not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours.
For this appliance the maximum is 30 tanning hours (=1800 minutes) a year.
