EL IGH T R E D (IR ) IN FR A ULTRAVIOL ET (UV) VIS IBL The solarium With this solarium 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 comfortable warmth. Type HB875 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 section '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 used wall socket has poor connections, the plug of the solarium will become hot.Therefore only use 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! 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. 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 in 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 switch off automatically. Once the cause of overheating has been removed and the appliance has cooled down, the appliance will switch on automatically again. The UV filters become very hot when using the appliance. Do not touch them. The appliance contains moving parts, so be careful not to get your fingers stuck between the parts. Never use the appliance when a UV filter is damaged, broken or missing. Never use the appliance when the timer switch is defective. Take care that children cannot play with the appliance. Do not exceed the advised session times or the maximum amount or "tanning hours" (see "Tanning sessions: How often? 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. ENGLISH 7 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 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 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 feels 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 the appliance. Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the natural sun. 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 section "UV tanning sessions: how often, how long?"). Overexposure to ultraviolet (natural sunlight or artificial light from your solarium) can cause sunburn. Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a solarium 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 keratisis, 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 sections "Important" and "UV tanningsessions: 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 amount of tanning hours per year (i.e. 21 hours or 1260 minutes); B that you always wear the provided goggles while tanning. 8 ENGLISH IR, relaxation and your health (HB875 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 section 'Relax sessions: how often and how long?'). UV tanning sessions: how often and how long? You may have one tanning session per day, over a period of five to ten days. Allow at least 48 hours between the first two sessions. After this 5 to 10 day course, you may rest the skin for a while. Approx. one month after a course your skin will have lost much of the tan. You might than decide to start a new course. On the other hand, it is also possible to have one or two tanning sessions per week after a course has elapsed in order to keep up the tan. Whatever you may prefer, make sure that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours. For this appliance the maximum is 21 hours (=1260 minutes) per year. Example Imagine that you take a 10 day tanning course, with a 8 minute session on the first day and a 20 minutes session on the nine following days. The entire course then includes (1 x 8 minutes) + (9x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes. Over a year you may have 6 of these courses (as 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 of the body). From the table it will be seen that the first session of a course should always have a duration of 8 minutes.This is not dependent upon individual skin sensitivity. B B If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. if the skin gets taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce 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.

Relax sessions: how often and how long? Type HB875 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).
