ENGLISHDo not use the tanning appliance and consult your doctor if unexpected effects such as itching occurwithin48hoursaftertherstsession. 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 eyesagainstoverexposure(alsoseesection‘UVandyourhealth’). 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 can apply a moisturising cream. Coloursmayfadeundertheinuenceofthesun.Thesameeffectmayoccurwhenyouusethis appliance.

Overexposuretoultravioletlight(naturalsunlightorarticiallightfromyourtanningappliance)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. It is therefore highly important: that you follow the instructions in chapter ‘Important’ and section ‘Tanning sessions: how often and how long?’; that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (see section ‘Tanning sessions:howoftenandhowlong?’); that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning; thatthetanningdistance(distancebetweentheUVlterandyourbody)isatleast60cm.

ENGLISH 5If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue with 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 a beautiful, even tan, turn your face and body to the left and right from time to time. This ensures that the sides of your face and body are equally exposed. If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream. Using the appliance

Guarantee restrictions The tanning lamp is not covered by the terms of the international guarantee. Troubleshooting If problems should arise with this appliance and you are unable to solve them with the information below, please contact the nearest Philips service centre or the Philips Customer Care Centre in your country. Problem Solution The appliance does not start Make sure the plug has been properly inserted into the wall socket. There may be a power failure. Check if the power supply works by connecting another appliance. The timer may not have been set. Set the timer to the appropriate tanning time. The lamp may still be too warm to restart. Let the lamp cool down for 3minutesbeforeyouswitchitonagain. Poor tanning results Perhaps you use an extension cord that 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 may have followed a tanning course that is not appropriate for your skin type. Check the table in section ‘Tanning sessions: how often and how long?’. Perhaps the distance between the lamp and your body is larger than prescribed. When you have used the lamp for a long time, its tanning capacity decreases. This effect only becomes noticeable after several years. To solve this problem, select a slightly longer tanning time or have the lamp replaced.
