9.1 General tanning instructions
1 Different skin types react differently to sun and tanning times. Follow the skin type table
and the individual tanning program (see p. 56 ff.).
Once you have reached your nal tanning result, further tanning can only be achieved by
considerably exceeding the recommended tanning times. This has to be avoided at all
costs!!
2 UV radiation from the sun or from UV apparatuses may cause damages to skin or eyes.
These biological effects depend upon the quality and quantity of the radiation as well as
on the skin and eye sensitivity of the individual customer.
3 Sunburn can be a reaction of the skin after excessive radiation. Excessively repeated
exposures to UV radiation from the sun or from UV apparatuses may lead to premature
ageing of the skin and increase the risk of getting skin cancer.
4 Unprotected eyes may become in"amed on their surface or in some cases, e.g. after a
cataract operation, the retina can be damaged after an excessive UV exposure. Cataracts
may develop after many repeated exposures.
5 Special care is necessary in cases of pronounced individual sensitivity to UV radiation
and in cases where certain medicines or cosmetics are applied.
6 It cannot be said in any case that the use of a sunbed reduces the risk of getting
sunburn.
7 The apparatus must not be operated when the timer or the lter panes are defective.
8 The following safety precautions have to be taken: Safety precautions
• Always use the goggles provided.
• Remove any cosmetics before the tanning session and do not use any
sunscreens.
• Refrain from tanning when taking medicine which increases the sensitivity to
ultra-violet radiation. If in doubt, ask your doctor for advice.
• Allow a period of at least 48 hours between the rst two tanning sessions; do not
sunbathe and use the apparatus on the same day.
• Follow the recommendations concerning tanning times and tanning intervals
(see 56 ff).
• See a doctor when your skin produces persistent swellings or sore points, or
when pigmented moles change their appearance.
9 The following groups of people are not allowed to use the apparatus:
• children
• people with pace-makers
• people who get sunburn without tanning when exposing themselves to the sun
• people suffering from sunburn
• people who suffer or have suffered from skin cancer or who are predisposed
towards it
