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. ◗ The appliance must be connected to a circuit that is protected with a 16A standard fuse or an automatic fuse. ◗ Always unplug the appliance after use. ◗ Make sure the cord does not become trapped under one of the legs when you move the appliance. ◗ Make sure the vents to cool the tanning lamps in the canopy and in the couch remain open during use. ENGLISH5 ◗ Never use the appliance when the timer or an acrylic sheet is defective. ◗ Make sure children do not play with the appliance. ◗ Do not exceed the recommended tanning time and the maximum number of tanning hours (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'). ◗ 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 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 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. ◗ If the mains cord of this appliance is damaged, it must always be replaced by Philips or a service centre authorised by Philips in order to avoid hazardous situations. 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.

Duration of the tanning session in minutes 1st session rest of at least 48 hours 2nd session 3rd session 4th session 5th session 6th session 7th session 8th session 9th session 10th session 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 25-minute tanning session on the following nine days. ◗ The entire course will then last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 25 minutes) = 233 minutes.

This means you can take 5 of these courses a year, as 5 x 233 minutes = 1165 minutes. 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. Preparing for use ◗ It requires two people to assemble and move the appliance. ◗ During assembly the appliance becomes heavier and more difficult to move.We therefore advise you to assemble the 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 appliance. ◗ If the couch and/or canopy have to be placed on the floor, put them on the floor with the tube lamps facing downwards to avoid internal damage. Make sure you place them on a soft surface (e.g. a carpet or rug) to prevent damage to the housing (fig. 2). ENGLISH7 1 First assemble the legs of the frame by fastening the angle sections with the bolts and then fit the side panels, if applicable (fig. 3). ◗ NB: the holes in the side panels must be on the front side. 2 Place the couch on the legs carefully. Make sure the legs slide steadily into the appropriate openings in the couch (fig. 4). ◗ NB: the openings for assembling the canopy must be located at the back of the couch. 3 If necessary, you can move the couch slightly by sliding its legs across the floor or by carefully lifting it slightly off the floor together with another person. Make sure there is enough free space beside (at least 50 cm) and behind (at least 30 cm) the appliance. ◗ Never try to move the appliance in the manner shown in the picture.This could cause the frame to become detached from the couch (fig. 5). 4 Lift the canopy together with another person and position its connecting tubes over the connecting holes. Slide the tubes steadily into the connecting holes of the couch (fig. 6).

Be careful not to get your fingers stuck between the couch and the canopy.

Make sure the cord does not get stuck between the couch and the canopy. 5 Remove the protective foil from the acrylic sheets of the canopy and couch (fig. 7). 6 Plug the connecting cable into the socket in the couch (fig. 8). ◗ If you want to remove the connecting cable, follow the instructions shown in the picture (fig. 9). 7 Place the front panel and fasten it with the screws (fig. 10). The only purpose of the panel is to enhance the appearance of the appliance. 8 Insert the mains plug into the wall socket. Using the appliance 1 Switch the appliance on by setting the required tanning time on the timer (fig. 11).

For the correct tanning times, see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?' 2 Push the canopy backwards so that you can lie down on the couch.When you are lying on the couch, pull the canopy back into horizontal position (fig. 12).

NB: when the appliance has not been used for some time, the hinges of the canopy may squeak when you open or close the canopy for the first time. 3 Switch the body cooler on by means of the switch (fig. 13). ◗ Select the desired airflow: n or b (fig. 13). 4 HB589 only: if you like, you can also switch on the facial tanner (fig. 14). ◗ Select , for 75% of the full intensity or m for full intensity (fig. 14). 5 Don't forget to put on the protective goggles provided. 6 During the last minute of the session you will hear a beeping sound. Cleaning Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before you start cleaning it. Do not use abrasives or scourers. Never use liquids such as alcohol, methylated spirits, petrol or acetone to clean the acrylic sheet as this may cause irreparable damage. ENGLISH8 ◗ Clean the outside of the 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 Remove the mains plug from the wall socket. 2 Remove the end cover at the head of the canopy by undoing the screws (fig. 15). 3 First pull the acrylic sheet approx. 10 cm out of the appliance (1).Then undo the snap strip on the rear side of the canopy (2) (fig. 16). 4 Do the same with the snap strip on the front side of the canopy. 5 Remove the acrylic sheet (fig. 17). ◗ Now you can remove the tube lamps and the starters.
