Usage Features:
- Pre-Installation Planning: Requires a dedicated 220V AC NEMA 6-20R electrical outlet capable of providing 20 Amp service, installed by a professional electrician and earth grounded. Maximum ambient room temperature should be 80°F, and the sunbed should be placed no closer than 6" from any wall to ensure proper airflow. Proper assembly requires three people.
- Assembly: Involves attaching stand legs to the bench, securing hinge brackets, and installing gas springs to support the canopy. Detailed instructions with hardware inventory (Allen-head bolts, metal washers, bushings, nylon washers, Allen wrench, safety goggles, hinge brackets) are provided.
- Electrical Connections: Connect the canopy to the bench power cord, ensuring proper polarization and tightening the threaded locking ring. Plug the three-prong 220V AC power cord into the dedicated outlet.
- Tanning Guidelines:
- Skin should be free of cosmetics, tanning oils, or other body lotions not specifically made for tanning devices.
- Hair should be free of gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair products, or a shower cap/towel should be used.
- Always wear provided protective eyewear.
- Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days during their first week.
- Never tan more than once a day.
- Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes after approximately four weeks.
- Maintain appearance by tanning once or twice per week thereafter.
- Persons with a base tan may begin at advanced levels.
- New lamps emit approximately 10% more UV radiation during the first 50 hours; reduce tanning times by 10% during this period.
- Exposure Times: A detailed table provides recommended exposure times based on skin type (Sensitive, Light, Normal, Dark) and tanning level (Level 1/Week 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Subsequent Maximum). Maximum exposure time is 20 minutes.
- Parental Lock: Equipped with a key-operated parental lock switch to monitor usage. The key can be removed in both locked and unlocked positions.
- Face Tanner (24RSF models): Activated by a rocker switch. Requires a cooling period before lighting again.
- Cool Down Period: After the timer reaches 0, lamps turn off, and cooling fans run for approximately 3 minutes.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning After Use:
- Clean and disinfect the bench and canopy with a non-abrasive, non-ammonia disinfectant cleaner.
- Wipe lamps with a soft cloth to remove film buildup.
- Clean both sides of acrylic shields with a non-ammonia disinfectant cleaner.
- Thorough Periodic Cleaning:
- Performed when dust buildup is observed on lamps and reflectors, which reduces tanning effectiveness.
- Remove acrylic shields and lamps (as described in "Replacing Lamps").
- Clean the inside of the bench and canopy.
- Re-install lamps and acrylic shields.
- Mechanical Inspection (every 400-500 hours):
- Inspect fasteners for firmness, especially hinge bolts.
- Inspect gas springs for wear; replace if they fail to hold the canopy open.
- Inspect the timer (as per "Timer Maintenance").
- Inspect the AC power cord and connections.
- Inspect acrylics; replace if broken, cracked, or badly scratched.
- Replacing Lamps:
- Change lamps after approximately 800-1000 hours of use for maximum tanning effectiveness.
- Replace lamp starters whenever lamps are replaced.
- Removing Acrylic Shields: Pry up the hinged profiles along their length until they swing back, then slide the acrylic shield out.
- Replacing Lamps: Grasp a lamp at one end and in the middle, turn a quarter turn, and remove. Reinstall by inserting pins into slots and turning a quarter turn.
- Replacing SolarMax™ IFT Face Tanner Lamp (F Models): Support the face tanner assembly, unscrew retaining screws, and swing the glass casing downward. Remove the old lamp from spring contacts and install the new lamp using a clean cloth or paper towel. Close and secure the glass casing.
- Timer Maintenance:
- Annually, or when relamping, check timer operation and accuracy.
- Test 1: Set the timer to maximum, time how long lamps stay on. They should shut off within +/- 10% of the interval.
- Test 2: Set the timer to maximum, wait ten minutes, then turn the knob back to maximum. The electronic time limiting circuit should turn lamps off at approximately 10% beyond the maximum interval.
- Contact ETS Customer Service if the timer malfunctions or if difficulty is experienced with tests.
- Troubleshooting Guide: Provides solutions for common issues such as lamps failing to light, individual lamps failing, canopy not staying in position, and sunbed not staying lit.
