Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future reference.

Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.

If the mains cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

If the wall socket used to power the appliance has poor connections, the plug of the appliance will become hot. Make sure you plug the appliance into a properly connected wall socket.

The appliance must be connected to a circuit that is protected with a 16A standard fuse (in the UK 13A fuse for HB567) or a slow-blow automatic fuse.

HB568 only: The facial tanner 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. Once the cause of overheating has been removed and the facial tanner has cooled down, it will switch on again automatically.

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.

Make sure children do not play with the appliance.

Make sure the mains cord does not get trapped under one of the legs when you move the appliance.

Make sure the vents in the canopy and in the couch remain open during use.

Do not exceed the recommended tanning time and the maximum number of tanning hours (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?').

Do not select a shorter tanning distance than the advised distance of 20 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 or IR light. Consult your doctor in case of doubt.

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.

Consult your doctor if persistent lumps or sores appear on the skin, or if there are changes in pigmented moles.

Always wear the protective goggles provided with the appliance while tanning to protect your eyes from excessive doses of visible light, UV light or IR light (also see the chapter '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.

Never use this appliance when the timer or the control panel (HB568 only) is defective or when an acrylic sheet or the UV filter of the facial tanner (HB568 only) is damaged, broken or missing.

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.

HB568 only:

• Keep scent granules out of the reach of children.
• These granules are not edible.
• In case of eye contact, flush immediately with plenty of water.
  Do not use the scent cartridge if you are allergic to scent. Consult your doctor in case of doubt.

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.

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 you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (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 20 hours (= 1200 minutes) a year.

Example

Suppose you are taking a 10-day course, consisting of a 8-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 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes.

This means you can take 6 of these courses a year, as 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 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 and front of the body).

Table

As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 8 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 sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.

Duration of the UV session for each separate part of the body	For persons with very sensitive skin	For persons with normal sensitive skin	For persons with less sensitive skin
1st session	8 minutes	8 minutes	8 minutes
rest of at least 48 hours	rest of at least 48 hours	rest of at least 48 hours	rest of at least 48 hours
2nd session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
3rd session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
4th session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
5th session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
6th session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
7th session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
8th session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
9th session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*
10th session	10 minutes	20-25 minutes	30 minutes*

^* ) or longer, depending on your skin sensitivity.

Preparing for use

For optimum comfort, use the appliance at an ambient temperature of approximately 18°C.

Couch

It requires two people to assemble and move the tanning appliance.
During assembly the tanning appliance becomes heavier and more difficult to move. We therefore advise you to assemble the tanning appliance at the place where it will be used. Make sure there is enough free space beside (at least 50 cm) and behind (at least 30 cm) the tanning appliance.
2 Put the couch on the floor with the lamps pointing downwards (fig. 2).
3 Push the legs firmly into the appropriate holes (fig. 3).
Make sure the legs are mounted in the correct position, so that the socket is at the back.
4 Do not attempt to lift or tilt the couch by its legs! (fig. 4).
5 HB567 and HB568: Fasten the angle profile to the legs of the frame (fig. 5).
6 HB567 and HB568: Fasten the side panels to the legs of the frame (fig. 6).
7 HB567 and HB568: Push the front panel firmly against the frame until it curves (fig. 7).
8 HB567 and HB568: Fasten the front panel by means of nuts (fig. 8).
9 Lift the couch and turn it carefully onto its legs (fig. 9).

Canopy

1 Ask someone else to help you and put the canopy onto a table with the lamps pointing downwards (fig. 10).
2 Assemble the two gas springs (fig. 11).
3 Turn the square tubes of the canopy to vertical position and lift the canopy from the table (fig. 12).
4 Slide the square tubes of the canopy into the square tubes of the couch (fig. 13).
5 Lie down on the couch (fig. 14).

The distance between your body and the canopy should be approx. 20 cm.

6 If necessary, pull up the canopy a little and use a higher mounting hole to fasten the tubes of the canopy in the tubes of the couch (fig. 15).
7 The distance between the mounting holes is 4 cm (fig. 16).

If the appliance is going to be used by more than one person, fasten the tubes at the highest mounting hole required to fit all persons.

8 HB567 and HB568: Fasten the back panel to the tubes of the canopy (fig. 17).
The only purpose of the panels is to enhance the appearance of the appliance.
9 Only move the tanning appliance by carefully sliding its legs across the floor or by carefully lifting it slightly off the floor together with another person (fig. 18).
10 Remove the plastic foils from the acrylic sheets of the canopy and the couch (fig. 19).
11 Push the plug of the canopy in the socket of the couch (click!) (fig. 20).
12 The plug can be disconnected by means of a screwdriver in the manner shown in the picture (fig. 21).
13 Insert the mains plug into a wall socket (fig. 22).

3 Lie down on the couch (fig. 25).

Make sure your face is under the facial tanner when you lie down on the couch.

4 When you are lying on the couch, pull the canopy into a horizontal position (fig. 26).

5 When the set tanning time has elapsed, the lamps will be automatically switched off.

After the facial tanner has been switched off, you have to wait 3 minutes before you can switch the facial tanner back on. During this cool-down period the symbols near the ⚙/⌘ button will blink.

You can switch the facial tanner on or off during the session by pressing the € button (fig. 29).

Press the ⚙/⌘ button to switch between full intensity and half intensity (fig. 29).

During the tanning session, you can switch the body cooling on for extra comfort by pressing the ✿ button (fig. 29).

Natural fragrances (HB568 only)

During tanning or relaxing you can enjoy your favourite fragrance. You can choose from three different fragrances.

The scent granules have been specially developed for use in this appliance. Do not use other granules.

Filling the cartridge

Remove the cap of the cartridge by pulling while applying pressure in the small pressing points (fig. 30).

2 Open the sachet at the small opening at the top.

3 Fill the cartridge with the content of one whole package of scent granules.

4 Close the cartridge by putting the cap back onto it. You will hear a click.

Placing or removing the cartridge

Place the cartridge in the holder. It only fits in one way and locks in place with a click (fig. 31).

To remove the cartridge, place your thumb and index finger on the sides of the cartridge. Remove the cartridge from the holder by pressing on the disc (fig. 32).

Setting the fragrance level

I You can set the fragrance level by turning the cartridge (fig. 33).

Turn the cartridge in the direction of the large flower symbol to increase the fragrance level and turn it in the opposite direction to reduce the fragrance level.

2 When you store the appliance or do not want it to emit a fragrance, turn the cartridge away from the large flower symbol as far as it goes (fig. 34).

The holes will no longer be visible.

3 Replace the granules when the cartridge no longer emits any fragrance. Replacement packages with 3 sachets of scent granules are available under type number HB080.

Please bear in mind that the fragrance level depends on a number of factors, such as the following:

- Habituation may cause fragrances to be perceived less or not at all, but this is normal.

- When you lie on your belly, the fragrance will be less noticeable than when you are lying on your back.

- Airflows in the room where you use the appliance may also affect the fragrance level.

- Your personal condition may also influence the degree in which you perceive the fragrance.

Stereo Active Speakers (HB567 and HB568 only)

During tanning you can listen to your own favourite music by connecting your own audio player (e.g. CD/MP3 or radio) to the appliance.

To connect your own audio player to the appliance, use the cable with 2 jack plugs supplied with the appliance.

Insert one jack plug into the AUX socket on the right side of the speaker.

2 Insert the other jack plug into the headphone socket of your audio player (e.g. CD, MP3 or radio).

▶ You can adjust the volume on your own audio player.

- Do not set the volume extremely high, as this could cause irreparable damage to the speakers.

- In fact, we advise you to set the volume lower than you are accustomed to, because the space between couch and canopy works as an acoustic box and amplifies sound.

Cleaning

Always unplug the tanning 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.

Never use liquids such as alcohol, methylated spirits, petrol or acetone to clean the acrylic sheets as this may cause irreparable damage.

- Clean the outside of the tanning appliance with a damp cloth. Do not let any water run into the appliance.

Replacement

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 and/or starters replaced by a service centre authorised by Philips. They have the knowledge and skills required for this job and the original spare parts for your tanning appliance.
If you really insist on replacing the tube lamps and/or starters yourself, you should proceed as follows:

1 First remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

2 Loosen the screws and remove the two end caps (fig. 35).

3 Pull the acrylic sheet completely out of the appliance (fig. 36).

The lamps and starters are now accessible.

NB: you can now also clean the inside of the acrylic sheet, if you wish.

4 Turn the lamps slightly to the left or to the right to unlock them.

5 Remove the lamps from the lamp holders.

6 Remove the starters by turning them slightly to the left and pulling them out.

7 Insert new lamps and/or starters by following the above instructions in reverse order and direction.

8 Slide the acrylic sheet back into the groove.

HB568 only: The lamp of the facial tanner may only be replaced by a service centre authorised by Philips.

Do not forget to fasten the end caps by means of the screws.

HB568 only: The appliance has a counter that records the operating hours of the tanning lamps.

Set the time to 00 and press the start button ① for at least 2 seconds. After the beep the operating hours appear on the display. Multiply the figure displayed by a factor of 10 to get the actual total number of operating hours. For example: if the display reads 34, the total number of operating hours is 340.

The operating hours will disappear from the display as soon as the Ⓞbutton is released.

To reset the hour counter, press the start button ①, wait until the operating hours appear on the display, press the start button ① and the ✗ button simultaneously and wait until the operating hours disappear from the display (00 becomes visible).

We advise you to have the tanning lamps replaced after 750 operating hours.

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 an authorised Philips service centre.

Problem	Possible causes/solutions
The appliance does not start.	The plug has not been properly inserted into the wall socket.
	There may be a power failure. Check if the power supply works by connecting another appliance.
	You have not set the time.
The facial tanner does not start.	Perhaps you forgot to switch the facial tanner on.
	The lamp of the facial tanner (HB568 only) is still too hot to go on. Allow the lamp to cool down for approx. 3 minutes.
The fuse cuts off the power when the appliance is switched on or during use.	Check the fuse of the circuit to which the tanning appliance has been connected.The correct fuse type is a 16A standard fuse (in the UK a 13A fuse for HB567) or a slow-blow automatic fuse.
Poor tanning result.	You are using an extension cord which is too long or does not have the correct current rating. 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?'.
	The distance between your body and the canopy is larger than 20 cm.
	When the lamps have been used for a long time, 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.

Not enough fragrance.
