Important Usage Notes:
- The time between the first two tanning sessions must be at least 48 hours. No additional sunbath should be taken on the same day.
- Increased tanning requires an extension of exposure time, but there's a limit to the degree of tanning achievable without health risks.
- Make-up and sun screen products should be removed before tanning to prevent skin damage and allergic reactions.
- Certain medications can increase skin sensitivity to UV light; consult a physician if in doubt.
- Contact lens wearers should use special protective goggles.
- Protective goggles (Order No. 84592-..) must be used to protect eyes from UV radiation.
- The device must not be used by individuals with very sensitive skin (skin type I), acute sunburn, skin cancer, or those at increased risk of skin cancer.
- Consult a physician if unexpected effects like itching occur within 48 hours of the first session, or if stubborn swelling, sores, or pigmented moles form on the skin.
- The device must not be used if a filter panel is missing or damaged, or if the timer is defective.
