Tanning and your health

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.

Table-top tanning appliance

With this table-top tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home.A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than

60 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see the section 'UV, tanning and your health').

UV, tanning 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.

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.

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.

It is therefore highly important:

- that you follow the instructions in the chapters 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';

- that the tanning distance (distance between the lamps and the body) is at least 10 cm.

- that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (i.e. 30 hours or 1800 minutes);

- that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.

Tanning sessions: how often and how long?

◗ Do not take more than one tanning session per day, over a period of five to ten days.

◗ Allow an interval of at least 48 hours between the first and 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 30 tanning hours (=1800 minutes) a year.

Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with a 10-minute session on the first day and a 25-minute session on the nine following days.

The entire course will then last (1 x 10 minutes) + (9 x 25 minutes) = 235 minutes.

This means you can take 7 of these courses in a year, as 7 x 235 minutes = 1645 minutes.

As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 10 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.

B 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.

B For a beautiful, even tan, turn your face and body to the left and right from time to time during the session so that the sides of the face and body

are equally exposed.

1 Place the appliance on a solid, flat and stable surface.

2 Fully unwind the mains cord.

3 Put the plug in the wall socket.

4 Consult the table (see the chapter 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?') to determine the appropriate duration of the session.

5 Put on the protective goggles provided.

6 Position yourself in front of the appliance.

◗ During tanning, the distance between the lamps and the part of the body to be tanned must be at least 10 cm (fig.2).

7 Always unplug the appliance after use.

8 Keep track of the number of sessions you have had by means of the memory knobs.

The appliance has four memory knobs for four persons.

You can set a new time before the set time has elapsed if you want a longer tanning session or if you want to tan more parts of your body

successively.The appliance does not need to cool down first.

The light emitted by the tanning lamps will become less bright in time.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 replacing the tanning lamps.

required for this job and the original spare parts for the appliance.
