• Before connecting the appliance to the mains

socket, check if the voltage indicated on the rating

plate corresponds with the mains voltage in your

home.

• 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.

• Take care that children cannot play with the

solarium. As a precaution remove the plug from the

wall socket after use.

• 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 70 cm (approx. 27.5").

• 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 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.

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.
