© 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).
e 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.
e Let the solarium cool down first (+ 15 min.) before
closing and storing it away.
® Move the solarium only when folded in (fig. 28).
© Keep the ventilation openings in the upper casing
and in the stand clear of obstruction when using
the solarium.
e 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.
The 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
cea (IR) are longer than the wave lengths of visible
ight.
And the wave lengths of “ultraviolet” (UV), which tans our

maximum amount of ’tanning hours”. (See section
“UV sessions: How often? And how long?”)
e Observe the advised operational distance of
1.00 m (approx. 40”).
¢ 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. :
e if you have any symptoms of illness and/or if you
take any medicines which increase skin sensitivity,
you should not have a UV-session.
When in doubt, please consult your doctor.
e Consult your doctor if ulcers, moles or persistent
lumps develop on the skin.
e 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
before a UV session.
® Do not use suntan lotions or creams.

during the sun tanning session. Avoid touching it.
