Introduction

Foldable tanning appliance

With this tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home. The tanning lamps emit visible light, heat and ultraviolet light, giving you the impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight. The special UV filter only passes UV light that is required to get a tan.

The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared light to provide a comfortable warmth.

A timer ensures that each tanning session does not last longer than 30 minutes (HB828) or 60 minutes (HB826). Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see chapter 'Tanning and your health').

Important

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination! Do not use this appliance in wet surroundings (e.g. in the bathroom or near a shower or swimming pool).
If you have just been swimming or have just taken a shower, dry yourself thoroughly before using the appliance.
▶ Always unplug the appliance after use.
Never use the appliance when the UV filter is damaged, broken or missing or when the timer is defective.
The UV filter becomes hot during the tanning session. Do not touch it.
Make sure children do not play with the appliance.

Let the appliance cool down for approx. 15 minutes after use before folding it back into transport position and storing it.
▶ Only move the tanning appliance when it is folded in.
Make sure the vents in the lamp unit and in the base remain open during use. Keep your hair away from the air inlet of the lamp unit.
The appliance has been fitted with an automatic protection against overheating. If the appliance is insufficiently cooled (e.g. because the vents are covered), the appliance will switch off automatically.
HB826: once the cause of overheating has been removed and the appliance has cooled down, the appliance will switch on automatically again.
HB828: once the cause of overheating has been removed and the appliance has cooled down, a new session time has to be set to switch the appliance on again.
Do not exceed the recommended tanning time and the maximum number of tanning hours (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?').
▶ Do not choose a tanning distance of less than 65 cm.
Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day. Avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day.
Do not use the tanning appliance if you have a disease and/or use medication or cosmetics that increase the sensitivity of your skin. Be extra careful if you are hypersensitive to UV light. Consult your doctor in case of doubt.
Consult your doctor if ulcers, moles or persistent lumps develop on the skin.
The appliance 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.
Always wear the protective goggles provided with the appliance while tanning to protect your eyes against overexposure (also see 'Tanning and your health').
Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well in advance of a tanning session.
▶ Do not use any sunscreens or suntan accelerators.
If your skin feels taut after the tanning session, you may apply a moisturising cream.
Colours may fade under the influence of the sun. The same effect may occur when using this appliance.
Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the natural sun.
This product has been manufactured to comply with the radio interference requirements laid down in directives 87/308 and 87/310/EEC.

Tanning and your health

The sun, UV and tanning

The sun

The sun supplies various types of energy. Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunrays provides the heat in which we like to bask.

UV and your health

Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process will take some time. The first effect will only become visible after a few sessions (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?').

Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light from your tanning appliance) can cause sunburn.

Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a tanning appliance may increase the risk of skin and eye problems. The degree to which these effects occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the exposure on the one hand and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other hand.

ENGLISH6

The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature skin ageing and the development of skin tumours will be. Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.

▶ Therefore it is highly important:

• that you follow the instructions given in 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';
• that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filter and the body) is 65 cm;
• that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year: i.e. 19 hours or 1140 minutes (also see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?');
• that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.

Tanning sessions: how often and how long?

Take one tanning session a day for five to ten days. Wait at least 48 hours after the first session before taking the second session. After this 5 to 10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a rest for a while.

▶ Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan. You can then start a new course.
If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue taking one or two tanning sessions a week.

Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you continue tanning on a lower frequency, always keep in mind that you must not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours. For this appliance the maximum is 19 tanning hours (= 1140 minutes) a year.

Example

Suppose you are taking a 10-day course, consisting of a 7-minute tanning session on the first day and a 20-minute tanning session on the following nine days.

The entire course will then last (1 x 7 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 187 minutes.

This means you can take 6 of these courses a year, as 6 x 187 minutes = 1122 minutes.
Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate part or side of the body that is tanned (e.g. the back or front of the body).

Table

As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 7 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.

If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. if the skin gets taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the duration of the sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.

For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so that the sides of you body are better exposed to the tanning light.

If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream.

Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before you start cleaning it.

Never use scouring pads and abrasive liquids such as scouring agents, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.

• Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
  ▶ Do not let any water run into the appliance.
• You can clean the UV filter with a soft cloth sprinkled with some methylated spirits.

Replacement

The UV filter protects against exposure to undesired UV light. It is therefore important to have a damaged or broken filter replaced right away.

The light emitted by the tanning lamps will become less bright in time (i.e. after a few years in case of normal use). When this happens, you will notice a decrease in the tanning capacity of the appliance. You can solve this problem by setting a slightly longer tanning time or by having the tanning lamps replaced.

Have the tanning lamps, the UV filter and the cord replaced by a service centre authorised by Philips. Only they have the knowledge and skills required for this job and the original spare parts for your tanning appliance.

Environment

The lamps of the appliance contain substances that can be harmful to the environment. When you discard the lamps, do not throw them away with the normal household waste but hand them in at an official collection point.

Troubleshooting

If the appliance has not been installed or is not used in accordance with the instructions, it may fail to work properly. In that case you will be able to solve the problem yourself by following the troubleshooting tips below.

If the problem is not mentioned in the list, the appliance may not work properly because it has a defect. In that case we advise you to contact your dealer or a Philips service centre.

Problem	Possible causes
The appliance does not start.	The plug has not been properly inserted into the wall socket.
	The appliance has not been folded out properly.
	Perhaps there is a power failure. Check by means of another appliance.
	The lamps are still too hot to go on. Let them cool down for 3 minutes first.
	The appliance was not sufficiently cooled and the overheating protection switched the appliance off automatically. Remove the cause of overheating (e.g. remove a towel that is blocking one or more vents).Wait for 10 minutes and switch the appliance on again (HB828), or continue the session when the lamps come on again (HB826).
The fuse cuts off the mains power when the appliance is switched on or during use.	Check the fuse of the circuit to which the tanning appliance is connected.The correct fuse is a 16A standard fuse or an automatic fuse.The fuse may also blow because you have connected too many appliances to the same circuit.
Poor tanning results.	You are using an extension cord that is too long or does not have the correct current rating (16A). Consult your dealer. Our general advice is not to use an extension cord.
	You are not following the tanning schedule suitable for your skin type. Check the table in 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'
	When the lamps have been used for a long time, the intensity of the UV light emitted will decrease.This effect only becomes noticeable after several years.You can solve this problem by selecting a slightly longer tanning time or by replacing the lamps.
	The distance between the body and the UV filter is larger than 65 cm.
