Introduction

Full-body tanner

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 the light that is required to get a tan.

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

Type HB977 only: besides a tanning session, you can take a relax session by just switching on the special infrared lamps.

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

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 plug has not been inserted properly into the wall socket, it may become hot. Make sure you insert the plug properly into the wall socket.
  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.
• The appliance must be connected to a circuit that is protected with a 16A (10A for Switzerland and Scandinavian countries) standard fuse or an automatic fuse.

- Always unplug the appliance after use.

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.

Let the appliance cool down after use for approx. 15 minutes before folding it back into transport position and storing it.

• Make sure the vents in the centre and side lamp units and in the base remain open during use.

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. Once the cause of overheating has been removed and the appliance has cooled down, the appliance can be switched on again.

- The UV filters become very hot when you use the appliance. Do not touch them.

The appliance contains hinging parts, so be careful not to get your fingers stuck between the parts.

- The rubber parts fitted onto the appliance may give off a slight smell the first times you use the appliance. This is not an assembly fault. This smell will disappear after a few sessions.

- Never use the appliance when a UV filter is damaged, broken or missing.

- Never use the appliance when the remote control is defective.

- Make sure children do not play with the appliance.

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

Do not take a tanning and/or relax session if you have a disease and/or if you use a 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.

- Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day. Avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day.

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

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 from excessive doses of visible light, UV light and IR light (also see section '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 should feel taut after the tanning session, you may apply a moisturising cream.

- To acquire an even tan you should lie directly below the lamp units.

- Do not choose a tanning distance of less than 65 cm.

- Only move the appliance when it is in transport position. Make sure that the two parts of the appliance have been properly fastened before you move it. Do not attempt to lift the appliance on your own.

Colours may fade under the influence of the sun. The same effect may occur when you use this appliance.

- Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the natural sun.

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 sunlight 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 in chapters 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';
• that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filters 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);
• 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.

This maximum also holds if you use the appliance for tanning of parts of your body (function ✦ and € ✦).

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 and 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. because your skin feels taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the length 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 your body are better exposed to the tanning light.
▶ If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream.
If you tan just a part of your body, you can also use the table above together with the information in 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'.
If you use function or function , we advise you to extend the tanning sessions by approximately 5 minutes. This does not apply to the first tanning session, which must not last longer than 7 minutes.

Duration of the tanning 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

*) or longer, depending on your skin sensitivity.

Relaxation and your health (HB977 only)

Warmth has a relaxing effect. Think of what a hot bath or lazing in the sunshine does to you. You can enjoy the same relaxing effect by switching on the infrared lamps.

Bear in mind the following when you have a relax session:

• Avoid getting too hot. Increase the distance between yourself and the lamps, if necessary.
• If your head gets too hot, cover it or move your body so that less heat is emitted towards your head.
• Close your eyes during a relax session.
• Do not let the relax session last too long (see section 'Relax sessions: how often and how long?').

Relax sessions: how often and how long?

Type HB977 only

If you do not want to get up right away after the tanning session, you can switch on the infrared lamps for a relax session, during which the infrared lamps keep you warm.
- You can also take a relax session without a tanning session. You can do this several times a day (e.g. 30 minutes in the morning and in the evening).

Preparing for use

• The appliance can be easily moved and stored in transport position (fig. 2).
  If you want to give your face an extra tan or if you only want to tan a part of your body (i.e. just the legs or the upper half of your body), make sure you place the appliance at the correct side of the bed (fig. 3).

To open the appliance, move the lock slides in the direction of the arrow (fig. 4).

The upper part of the appliance is now unlocked.

2 The upper part comes slightly up (by itself or with a little help) (fig. 5).
3 Grab the handle with both hands and put one foot against the appliance to prevent it from sliding away. Tilt the upper part by pulling the handle and tracing an arc with it (fig. 6).

Do not tilt the upper part too far.

4 Pull the upper part up and towards you at the same time (fig. 7).
This requires some effort.
5 Move both lamp units sideways as far as possible, until they are in line with each other (fig. 8).
6 The distance between the UV filters and your body must be 65 cm. The distance between the UV filters and the surface on which you are lying down (e.g. a bed) must be 85 cm (fig. 9).
7 Support the upper part of the stand when you set or adjust the height of the appliance (fig. 10).

Loosen the height adjustment knob (A) by turning it anticlockwise (two or three turns).

8 Put your hand under the horizontal part of the stand and extend the stand to the required height (fig. 11).
9 Firmly fasten the height adjustment knob (A) by turning it clockwise and release the stand (fig. 12).

• You can determine whether the appliance has been set to the required height by pulling out the measuring tape (fig. 13).
• The measuring tape will automatically rewind if you move the red tab sideways (fig. 14).
  10 Turn the centre lamp unit 90° until you hear a click (fig. 15).

Note: the centre lamp unit can only be turned in the direction of the arrow!

The appliance can only be switched on if both the side lamp units and the centre lamp unit have been fully extended and have been put in the right position. This applies to tanning sessions as well as to relax sessions.

- Right position (fig. 16).

The appliance is now ready for use.

Using the appliance

I Fully unwind the mains cord.
2 Put the plug in the wall socket.

The remote control will show all the functions that need to be adjusted by the user. The tanning or relax session time is shown as 00 (fig. 17).

▶ Only HB977 shows symbol ⋯(relax session).

Adjusting functions:

1 Use the ◀▶ buttons to switch from function to function (fig. 18).

The underlined symbol shows the function you are programming.

2 Selecting tanning, extra tanning or relaxing

Choose symbol ☺ if you want to tan your whole body.

Choose symbol ⚙ and ℰ if you want to tan your whole body and give your face an extra tan.

Choose ✦if you want to tan just a part of your body (HB971 only).

Choose symbols £ and ✦ if you want to tan just a part of your body and give your face an extra tan (HB971 only).

Choose ∥ if you prefer a relax session (warmth) for the whole body (HB977 only).

Note: In these directions for use, functions ✉ ∈ are used in the pictures as examples of what may be shown on the display.

Setting the time for a tanning or relax session

1 Set the time of the tanning or relax session by pushing the + button to put the time forward or by pushing the - button to put the time backward (fig. 19).

Keep the button pressed to adjust the time more quickly.

2 Lie down directly under the lamp units of the appliance to ensure that the sides of your body are also tanned properly.

3 Put on the protective goggles provided.

4 Switch on the tanning lamps or the infrared lamps by pressing the start button ① (fig. 20).

▶ Note: during start-up the tanning lamps may produce a humming sound. This sound will stop as soon as the lamps are burning properly.
Note: the tanning lamps will start to emit a visibly stronger light after approx. 60 seconds, which means they are now burning at full power. From this moment onwards you can switch the facial tanner on or off.
▶ Note: if the lamps fail to go on after about 20 seconds, switch the appliance off (①), let the lamps cool down for 3 minutes, set the tanning time and switch the appliance back on again (②).

A blinking signal will appear; the set time is shown on the display (25 minutes in this case) (fig. 21).

The countdown of the set tanning or relax session time will now start.

- You can switch the facial tanner ( ★ , € ) on or off during the session without having to switch off the whole appliance. (This also holds for the extra face tan in combination with ★ ) (fig. 22).

The chosen symbols stay visible in the display, but the other symbols do not.

• During the last minute of the session you will hear a beeping sound (fig. 23).
  During this minute, you can press the pause/repeat button ☑ to repeat the set time (fig. 24).
• The display shows the set time and starts to count down. The beeping stops.

- It is also possible to set a new time.

By doing this, you can avoid the 3-minute waiting time which is necessary to allow the tanning lamps to cool down after they have been switched off.

This waiting time does not apply to the infrared lamps (type HB977 only).

3 Set a new time by pushing the + and - buttons. Then push the start button ① (fig. 25).

The beeping stops and the time that has just been set starts counting down.

- When you do not repeat the time or set a new time during the last minute of the session, the countdown continues and the appliance will automatically switch off as soon as the set time has passed.

Interrupting the tanning or relax session

You can interrupt the tanning session by pushing the pause/repeat button (fig. 26).

The lamps will be switched off, P appears on the display together with the remaining time. The remaining time will blink for 3 minutes. During this time the lamps cool down. When the blinking has stopped, you can switch the appliance back on again by pushing the button. The remaining time will now be counted down.

2 You can interrupt the relax session by pushing the pause/repeat 📋 button.

The lamps will be switched off, P appears on the display together with the remaining time (not blinking). You can switch the appliance immediately back on again by pushing the button. The waiting time does not apply in the case of the infrared lamps. The remaining time will be counted down.

Changing the tanning or relax time during a session.

When you are tanning, you can change the set time by pushing the ① button. The lamps will be switched off. Then set a new time by pushing the + and - buttons. Wait until the set time has stopped blinking (this will take 3 minutes because the lamps have to cool down first) and push the ① button again.

- When relaxing (☑), you can change the set time by pushing the ① button. The lamps will be switched off. You can set a new time and switch the appliance back on immediately by pushing the ① button. The waiting time does not apply in case of the infrared lamps (the newly set time does not blink on the display).

Make sure the right lamps are switched on:

(HB977, HB971) Tanning: 4 lamps (one in every lamp unit) or 1 lamp (in the side lamp unit). The lamps emit a bluish light (fig. 27).
(HB977 only) Relaxing: 2 lamps (one in every side lamp unit). The lamps emit red light (fig. 28).

Cooling

The appliance is cooled by means of fans to prevent materials and parts from becoming too hot. The tanning lamps won't go on if they are too hot (see for instance 'Interrupting the tanning or relax session').

After you have switched off the tanning lamps or infrared lamps, the fans will continue to work for three more minutes.

This is convenient, because it enables you to use the tanning lamps again only 3 minutes after switching them off (the infrared lamps do not require a cooling-down period before they can be switched on again!)

If you have switched the tanning appliance off by removing the plug from the wall socket, the fans won't provide cooling for three more minutes, of course. Therefore, if another person wishes to use the appliance for a tanning session right away, this person must first allow the tanning appliance to cool down.
HB977 only: If you want to use the appliance for a tanning session immediately after having used it for a relax session ( ### ), you should also let the appliance cool down for three minutes. As a result of the relax session, the tanning lamps will have become hot and will need to cool down before they can be switched on.

Cleaning

1 Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before you start cleaning it.
2 Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

Do not let any water run into the appliance.

3 Do not use scouring pads.

Never use abrasive liquids like scouring agents, petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.

- You can clean the outside of the UV filters with a soft cloth sprinkled with some methylated spirits.

Storage

1 Let the appliance cool down for 15 minutes before you put it in transport position and store it.
In the meantime, you can wind up the cord and put it in the base of the appliance together with the remote control.
2 Make sure the cord and remote control are stored properly, as they might otherwise get stuck between parts of the appliance when you put the appliance in transport position (fig. 29).
3 Turn the centre lamp unit 90° to put it in a line with the side lamp units (fig. 30).
4 Firmly hold the upper part of the stand with one hand and loosen the height adjustment knob (A) by turning it anticlockwise (fig. 31).
5 Slide in the stand (fig. 32).
6 Firmly fasten the height adjustment knob (A) by turning it clockwise (fig. 33).
7 Turn the two side lamp units towards each other (fig. 34).
8 Grab the handle with both hands, put one foot against the appliance to prevent it from sliding away and tilt the upper part with the stand backward (fig. 35).

The automatic unlocking system will only work if you tilt the upper part with the stand backward far enough. However, you should be careful not to tilt it backward too far because you might lose your balance if you do.

9 Push the upper part down (fig. 36).
10 Lower it slowly onto the base (fig. 37).
Fasten the lamp units to the base by pushing both lock slides in the direction of the arrow (fig. 38).

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.

The remote control of the appliance includes a counter that registers the number of operating hours.
1 Choose function ⚙. Set the time to 00 and hold down the pause/repeat ⏻ button to display the number of operating hours (fig. 39). The maximum number of hours the counter can display is 999. After it has reached this number, it will continue to count up from 000.
2 When you release the pause/repeat button, the number of operating hours disappears from the display.

After 750 burning hours, an L will appear on the left-hand side of the display. This means that the tanning power of the appliance has decreased so much that replacement of the tanning lamps is advisable (fig. 40).
Of course, you can choose to postpone replacement for a while by setting a longer tanning time.
3 To remove the L from the display, press the pause/repeat button, with time indication 00 and function symbol on the display. Hold down the pause/repeat button and press first the + button and then the - button and the L will disappear from the display (fig. 41).

For type HB977 only: Have the infrared lamps replaced when they stop functioning.

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

Have the tanning lamps (Philips HPA flexpower 400-600), infrared lamps (IRK 15020R or 4222 062 95600) and UV filters replaced by an authorised Philips service centre. Only they have the knowledge and skills required for this job and the original spare parts for the appliance.

Environment

The lamps of the appliance contain substances that can be harmful to the environment. When you discard the lamps, make sure they are not thrown away with the normal household waste but are handed in at an official collection point.

- Do not throw the appliance away with the normal household waste at the end of its life, but hand it in at an official collection point for recycling. By doing this you will help to preserve the environment (fig. 42).

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not work properly, this may be due to a defect. In that case we advise you to contact your dealer or a Philips service centre.

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

Problem	Possible cause
The appliance does not start	The plug has not been (properly) inserted into the wall socket.
	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 back on.
	The two side lamp units and the centre lamp unit have not been put in the right position (see 'Preparing for use').
The fuse cuts off the power when you switch on the tanning appliance or during use.	Check the fuse of the circuit to which the tanning appliance is connected.The correct fuse type is a 16A (or 10A for Switzerland and Scandinavian countries) standard fuse or an automatic fuse.The fuse may also blow because you have connected too many appliances to the same circuit.
Poor tanning result	You are using an extension cord that is too long or does not have the correct 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.
	The distance between the UV filters and the surface you lie on is larger than prescribed.
	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 longer tanning time or by having the lamps replaced.After 750 operating hours an L will appear on the display telling you that it is advisable to have the lamps replaced.
The appliance cannot be put back into transport position.	You have not pushed the upper part of the appliance backward far enough. Make sure you first push the upper part backward before pushing it down (see 'Storage').
	The appliance fails to unlock automatically. In that case you first have to press unlocking button (B), after which you can fold the appliance back into transport position in the manner indicated in chapter 'Storage'. If the appliance fails to unlock several times, contact your dealer or a Philips service centre.

Error codes

The display of the remote control may show error codes. Below we will explain what you should do if an error code appears on the display.

Note: E01 appears in the display for 5 seconds and at the same time you hear a beeping sound.

Note: E02 and codes with a higher number remain visible on the display. If these codes appear, the appliance has a serious problem and must not be used any longer.

Error code	Solution
E01	Check whether the two side lamps units and the centre lamp unit are in the right position (see 'The appliance does not start' in 'Troubleshooting')
	Check whether the vents are open (see 'The appliance does not start' in 'Troubleshooting').
	Check the UV filters (the special glass panes that cover the lamps). If these filters are broken, damaged or missing, stop using the appliance and contact your dealer or a Philips service centre.
E02 and codes with a higher number	Contact your local dealer or a Philips service centre.
