Important

• 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).
• 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.
• Let the solarium cool down first (± 15 min.) before closing and storing it away.
• Move the solarium only when folded in (fig. 2).
• Keep the ventilation openings in the upper casing and in the lower casing clear of obstruction when using the solarium.
• 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.
• Do not exceed the advised session times or the maximum amount of "tanning hours". (See section "UV sessions: How often? And how long?")

• Do not select a shorter operational distance than the advised 65 cm (approx. 26").

• 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.

• If you have any symptoms of illness, if you take any medicines and/or apply cosmetics which increase skin sensitivity, you should not have a UV-session. Special care is also necessary in cases of pronounced individual sensitivity to ultraviolet. When in doubt, please consult your doctor.
• A solarium 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 ulcers, moles or persistent lumps develop on the skin.
• 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 well in advance of a UV session.
• Do not use sunscreen lotions or creams.
• Do not use suntan lotions or creams.
• If your skin should feel taut after the sun tanning session, you may apply a moisturizing cream.
• Never use the solarium if the UV filter is damaged, broken or removed, or if the timer has become faulty.
• The UV filter will become rather warm during the sun tanning session. Avoid touching it.
• Colours may fade under the influence of the sun. The same effect may occur when using the appliance.
• Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the natural sun.

The Sun UV C UV B UV A VISIBLE LIGHT INFRARED

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's radiance spectrum; each of the components having their own wave lengths.

The sun radiates electro-magnetic vibrations with different wave lengths.

The wave lengths of heat rays or "infrared" (IR) are longer than the wave lengths for visible light.

And the wave lengths of "ultraviolet" (UV), which tans our skin, are shorter than these.

Science has managed to reproduce these three kinds of solar radiation: heat (e.g. Infraphil), light (lamps) and UV (solariums, sun couches etc.)

UV-A, UV-B and UV-C

Ultraviolet (UV) is subdivided into UV-A (longest wave lengths), UV-B and UV-C (shortest wave lengths).

UV-C seldom reaches the earth as it is filtered out by the atmosphere.

UV-A and UV-B cause the tanning effect of the skin.

In fact there are two processes which produce tanning, and they are simultaneously effective:

• "Indirect tanning". Primarily UV-B stimulates the production of a substance called "melanin", which is necessary for tanning. The effect does not show until a couple of days after the sunbath.
• "Direct tanning". The UV-A and also a part of the visible light cause quicker browning without reddening or "getting sunburnt".

The solarium

This solarium emits predominantly UV-A, and also a very small amount of UV-B.

It possesses some important features which make tanning at home comfortable and convenient.

The unique type of sun lamp used in this solarium emits light, warmth and ultraviolet, just like the natural sun.

You can position this solarium so that using it really resembles lying in the sun: your whole body is tanned evenly, from head to toe.

For your convenience, but also to prevent unintended prolonged exposure (e.g. after falling asleep), a timer-controlled automatic switch-off operates after 60 minutes tanning.

As it is with the natural sun, it's wise not to have too much of a good thing! (See section "UV and your health".)

UV and your health

After an excessive exposure to ultraviolet (from the natural sun or from your solarium), the skin may develop sunburn.

Beside numerous other factors, such as excessive exposure to the natural sun, improper and excessive use of your solarium will increase the risk of skin and eye disease.

The nature, intensity and duration of the radiation on one hand, and the sensitivity of the individual on the other, are decisive on the degree in which these affects can occur.

The more the skin and eyes are exposed to UV, the more risk increases of diseases such as inflammation of the cornea and/or conjunctiva, damaging of the retina, cataract, premature aging of the skin and skin tumours.

Certain medicines and cosmetics increase the sensitivity to UV.

Therefore, it is of great importance

• that you follow the instructions in sections "Important" and "UV sessions: how often? And how long?";
• that you observe the advised operational distance of 65 cm (approx. 26");
• that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours per year (i.e. 21 hours or 1260 minutes);
• that you always wear the provided goggles while tanning.

UV sessions: how often? And how long?

You may have one UV session per day, over a period of five to ten days. Allow at least 48 hours between the first two sessions.

After such a course, you may rest the skin for a while. Approximately one month after a course your skin will have lost much of the tan. You might then decide to start a new course.

On the other hand, it is also possible to have one or two UV sessions per week after a course has elapsed in order to keep up the tan.

Whatever you may prefer, make sure that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours. For this solarium the maximum is 21 hours (= 1260 minutes) per year.

Example:

Imagine that you take a 10 day UV course, with a 8 minute session on the first day and 20 minutes' sessions on the nine following days.

The entire course then includes (1 × 8 minutes) + (9 × 20 minutes) = 188 minutes .

Over a year you may have six of these courses.

(As 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 minutes.)

Of course, this maximum amount of tanning hours is valid for each treated part or side of the body separately.

(E.g. for the front side of your body and for the back side.) From the table it will be seen that the first session of a course should have a duration of 8 minutes. This is not dependent upon individual skin sensitivity.

Duration of the UV session (for each separately treated part of the body) in minutes:	1st session	rest of at least 48 hrs.	2nd session	3rd session	4th session	5th session	6th session	7th session	8th session	9th session	10th session
-for persons with very sensitive skin:	8		10	10	10	10	10	10	10	10	10
-for persons with normally sensitive skin:	8		20-25	20-25	20-25	20-25	20-25	20-25	20-25	20-25	20-25
-for persons with less sensitive skin:	8		30*)	30*)	30*)	30*)	30*)	30*)	30*)	30*)	30*)
*) or longer, dependent upon skin sensitivity

- 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 say 5 minutes per side of the body.

• To get a beautiful all-over tan it is suggested that you turn slightly during the session so that the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning rays.

• Use the table in these instructions for use and your personal notes.
• Put on the supplied protective goggles.
• Set the timer to the session time required (fig. 13).
• Position yourself under the solarium.
• Once the set time has elapsed, the timer will switch off the solarium automatically.

Note: the timer can be set up to a maximum of 60 minutes. If you wish to treat both sides of your body directly after each other it is advised to reset the timer just before the set time has elapsed.

Doing so, you avoid a waiting period of at least three minutes (which would otherwise be necessary before the lamps can be started again).

After the UV tanning session

• On one of the session memos you can note down how many sessions you have had. There are two such memos, for two users.
• Let the solarium cool down for 15 minutes before folding it up and storing it away.

Make your solarium transportable:

- Wind the mains cord and store it in the storage compartment (B). Be careful that it does not get stuck when the upper casing is folded downwards.

Cleaning

Always unplug the solarium and let it cool down before cleaning.

• You can clean the outside of the solarium with a damp cloth. Make sure that no water runs into the appliance. Do not use abrasives or scourers, or liquids such as petrol or acetone.
• You may clean the UV filter glass with white spirit sprinkled on a soft cloth.

Replacing the sun lamps and/or UV filter

In the course of time (in normal family use after some years) the efficiency of the sun lamps will gradually decrease. If this happens, you may increase the tanning session time or have the sun-lamps replaced.

22 0075000

The hours counter Ⓣ indicates the total amount of operation hours. In general, it is advisable to replace the lamps after 750 hours (fig. 22).

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

Have the sun lamps and UV filter replaced only by authorized service personnel: only these have the required skill and dispose of the original replacement parts.

The lamps of solariums contain substances which may pollute the environment.

When discarding lamps, please ensure that they are separated from the normal household refuse and that they are disposed of at an officially assigned place.

This product is manufactured to comply with the radio interference requirements of the Council Directives 87/308 and 87/310/EEC.

For U.K. only:

Fitting a different plug

This appliance is fitted with a BS 1363 13 Amp. plug. Should you need to replace the plug, connect the wires as follows:

Green/yellow wire to the Earth terminal ( ± ) of the new plug. Brown wire to the Live (L) terminal of the new plug. Blue wire to the Neutral (N) terminal of the new plug.

Always fit the same value of fuse as that originally supplied with your appliance.

Only use BS 1362 approved fuses. As a guide only: Appliances under 700 W can have a 3 Amp. fuse (red) and all others should have a 13 Amp. fuse (brown).

When disposing of an old plug (particularly the moulded type which has been cut from the mains cord) always remove the fuse as the plug could be dangerous if ever inserted in a live socket.

Information & service

If you need information or if you have a problem, please visit the Philips Web site at www.philips.com or contact the Philips Customer Care Centre in your country (you will find its phone number in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). If there is no Customer Care Centre in your country, turn to your local Philips dealer or contact the Service Department of Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care BV.

Solarium does not operate as required?

If the solarium should not operate as required, this may be due to a defect. In this case do not hesitate to apply to your dealer or to a Philips Service Centre.

However, it is also possible that the appliance has not been installed according to the instructions or is used incorrectly. If this is the case, you will be able to solve the problem immediately.

You may check the following section before contacting your dealer or Philips Service Centre.

Problem

• Solarium does not switch on.

Possible cause

- Appliance is not positioned correctly for use.

- Mains plug is not in wall socket.

- No mains power. (Please check with other appliance.)

- The lamps are still too warm to restart. (Allow the lamps to cool down for approx. 3 minutes.)

- Ventilation was insufficient and the automatic thermal safety device has switched the appliance off. Remove the cause of overheating (e.g. take towel away from ventilation opening) and wait for 10 minutes before switching on again.

- The power fuse switches the mains power off when switching on or while using the solarium.

- Check the fuse to which the solarium has been connected. The proper type for your solarium is a 13 A or 16 A normal fuse or a slow reacting automatic fuse.

- The browning is not according to your expectations.

- You followed a course which is not the most appropriate for your skin type.

- The operational distance is larger than indicated.

- After using for a long time the UV production of the lamps decreases. (With normal use this will not be noticeable for years.) You may compensate for this effect by selecting longer treatment times or have the sun lamps replaced.

- You use an extension cord which is too long and/or does not allow the required power levels. In general, we advise not to use an extension cord. Please apply to your dealer.
