Therefore, do not use the appliance in wet surroundings (e.g. in the bathroom or shower, or near a swimming pool). · If you have just been swimming or have just taken a shower, dry yourself thoroughly before using the appliance. · Remove the plug from the wall socket after use. · Take care that children cannot play with the solarium. · Let the solarium cool down first (± 15 min.) before closing and storing it away. · Move the solarium only when folded in (fig. 2). · Keep the ventilation openings in the upper casings and in the stand clear of obstruction when using the solarium. · This solarium is fitted with an automatic thermal safety device. In case of insufficient cooling (e.g. when the ventilation apertures are blocked) the safety device will automatically switch off the solarium. Once the cause of the overheating has been removed and the solarium has cooled down sufficiently, the appliance will switch on again automatically. · Do not exceed the advised session times or the maximum amount of "tanning hours". (See section "UV sessions: How often? And how long?") · Do not select a shorter operational distance than the advised 75 cm (approx. 29.5"). · Do not treat each part or side of the body more often than once a day. Avoid intensive skin exposure to natural sunlight on the same day as a UV session. · If you have any symptoms of illness, if you take any medicines and/or apply cosmetics which increase skin sensitivity, you should not have a UV-session. Special care is also necessary in cases of pronounced individual sensitivity to ultraviolet. When in doubt, please consult your doctor. · A solarium 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 ulcers, moles or persistent lumps develop on the skin. · Always wear the protective eye goggles while tanning to protect your eyes against excessive doses of ultraviolet, visible light and infrared. (Also refer to section "UV and your health".) · Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well in advance of a UV session. · Do not use sunscreen lotions or creams. · Do not use suntan lotions or creams. · If your skin should feel taut after the sun tanning session, you may apply a moisturizing cream. · Never use the solarium if a UV filter is damaged, broken or removed, or if the timer has become faulty. · The UV filters will become rather warm during the sun tanning session. Avoid touching them. · 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 the natural sun. The Sun UV C UV B UV A VIS IBL IG EL HT E AR D IN FR The sun is the source of energy on which all life on earth depends. There are various kinds of solar energy: the sunlight enables us to see, we feel the warmth of the sunshine on our skin, and under the influence of the sun our skin is tanned. These three effects are due to three specific components of the sun radiance spectrum, each of the components having their own wave lengths. The sun radiates electro-magnetic vibrations with widely different wave lengths. The wave lengths of heat rays or "infrared" (IR) are longer than the wave lengths of visible light. And the wave lengths of "ultraviolet" (UV), which tans our skin, are shorter than these. 4 Science has managed to reproduce these three kinds of solar radiation: heat (e.g. Infraphil), light (lamps) and UV (solariums, sun couches etc.) UV-A, UV-B and UV-C Ultraviolet (UV) is subdivided into UV-A (longer wave lengths), UV-B and UV-C (shorter wave lengths). UV-C seldom reaches the earth as it is filtered out by the atmosphere. UV-A and UV-B cause the tanning effect of the skin. In fact there are two processes which produce tanning, and they are simultaneously effective: - "Indirect tanning". Primarily UV-B stimulates the production of a substance called "melanin", which is necessary for tanning. The effect does not show until a couple of days after the sunbath. - "Direct tanning". The UV-A and also a part of the visible light cause quicker browning without reddening or "getting sunburnt". The solarium This solarium emits predominantly UV-A, and also a very small amount of UV-B. It possesses some important features which make tanning at home comfortable and convenient. The unique type of sun lamp used in this solarium emits light, warmth and ultraviolet, just like the natural sun. You can position this solarium so that using it really resembles lying in the sun: your whole body is tanned evenly, from head to toe. For your convenience, but also to prevent unintended prolonged exposure (e.g. after falling asleep), timer-controlled automatic switch-off after 30 minutes tanning is incorporated. As it is with the natural sun, it's wise not to have too much of the good thing! (See section "UV and your health".) UV sessions: how often? And how long? UV and your health After an excessive exposure to ultraviolet (from the natural sun or from your solarium), the skin may develop sunburn. Beside numerous other factors, such as excessive exposure to the natural sun, improper and excessive use of your solarium will increase the risk of skin and eye disease. The nature, intensity and duration of the radiation on one hand, and the sensitivity of the individual on the other, are decisive on the degree in which these affects can occur. The more skin and eyes are exposed to UV, the more risk increases of diseases such as inflammation of the cornea and/or conjunctiva, damaging of the retina, cataract, premature aging of the skin and skin tumours. Certain medicines and cosmetics increase the sensitivity to UV. Therefore, it is of great importance - that you follow the instructions in sections "Important" and "UV sessions: how often? And how long?"; - that you select the advised operational distance of 75 cm (approx. 29.5"); - that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours per year (i.e. 21 hours or 1260 minutes); - that you always wear the provided goggles while tanning. Example: Suppose you are taking a 10-day course, consisting of an 8minute tanning session on the first day and 20-minute tanning sessions the subsequent nine days. The total course will last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes. You could take 6 of these courses a year (because 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 minutes). Of course the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each part or side of the body that is tanned separately (e.g. the back and front side of the body). As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course always lasts 8 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin. Take one tanning session a day for 5 to 10 days. Wait at least 48 hours after the first session before taking the second session. After this 5 to 10-day course you can take a break from tanning. One month after the tanning course, your skin will have lost most of its tan again. You can then start a new tanning course. If you want to retain your tan, do not stop tanning after the course but continue taking one or two tanning sessions a week. Regardless of the tanning method you choose, always make sure you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours, which is 21 hours (= 1260 minutes) a year for this solarium.

The solarium will then be in the position depicted in the illustration (fig. 4). 4 Operational distance (UV filters - body) = 75 cm (approx. 29.5") It is advisable to make the solarium ready for use and adjust the height where you actually want to use the appliance. Position the folded-out solarium against e.g. your bed. The operational distance (i.e. the space between the UV filters and your body) should be 75 cm (approx. 29.5"). Distance UV filters - bed = 95 cm (approx. 37.4"). In most cases it will be easier to set the distance between the solarium and the bed. For the volume of your body you may include an average of 20 cm (8"). Consequently you set the height in such manner that the space between the UV filters and the bed is 95 cm (approx. 37.4"). Note: hold the upper part of the stand firmly while setting or changing the height adjustment. 5 6 - Pull the stand Dand the upper part of the solarium upwards. Use handgrip F(fig. 5, 6). 6 · Set the section switches 12 9 - Pull the distance meter H out of the appliance until the required height (e.g. 90 cm or 36.5"). 13 - Loosen locking screw G (one or two turns anticlockwise). - If you wish to treat the entire body, set both section switches Q to position I (fig. 9). 10 14 - Slide out and adjust the stand till the required height. 15 - Screw in locking screw G firmly (turn clockwise). - If you wish to treat a section of the body (upper part or legs), set only the corresponding section switch to position I. - Ensure that the other switch is in position O (fig. 10,11). 11 16 - Moving the lever in the direction of the arrow will make the meter roll up inside the appliance.
