As a precaution remove the plug from thewall socket after use.• Let the face tanner cool down first (± 15 min.) beforestoring it away.• Keep the ventilation openings at the back clear ofobstruction when using the face tanner.• Do not exceed the advised session times or themaximum amount of "tanning hours". (See section"UV sessions: How often? And how long?")• Do not tan the face more often than once a day.Avoid intensive skin exposure to natural sunlight onthe same day as a UV session.• If you have any symptoms of illness, if you take anymedicines and/or apply cosmetics which increaseskin sensitivity, you should not have a UV-session. Special care is also necessary in cases ofpronounced individual sensitivity to ultraviolet.When in doubt, please consult your doctor.• A face tanner is not to be used by people who getsunburnt without tanning when exposed to the sun,by persons suffering from sunburn, by children, orby persons who suffer (or have previously suffered)from skin cancer or who are predisposed to skincancer.• Consult your doctor if ulcers, moles or persistentlumps develop on the skin.• Always wear the protective eye goggles whiletanning to protect your eyes against excessivedoses of ultraviolet, visible light and infrared. (Alsorefer to section "UV and your health".)• Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well inadvance 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 tanningsession, you may apply a moisturizing cream.• Never use the face tanner if the timer has becomefaulty. • Colours may fade under the influence of the sun. The same effect may occur when using theappliance.• Do not expect the face tanner to yield better resultsthan the natural sun.The sun is the source of energy on which all life on earthdepends.There are various kinds of solar energy: the sunlight enablesus to see, we feel the warmth of the sunshine on our skin, andunder the influence of the sun our skin is tanned.These three effects are due to three specific components ofthe sun radiance spectrum, each of the components havingtheir own wave lengths.The sun radiates electro-magnetic vibrations with widelydifferent wave lengths. The wave lengths of heat rays or"infrared" (IR) are longer than the wave lengths of 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 solarradiation: heat (e.g. Infraphil), light (lamps) and UV (solariums,sun couches etc.)UV-A, UV-B and UV-CUltraviolet (UV) is subdivided into UV-A (longer wave lengths),UV-B and UV-C (shorter wave lengths).UV-C seldom reaches the earth as it is filtered out by theatmosphere.UV-A and UV-B cause the tanning effect of the skin.In fact there are two processes which produce tanning, andthey are simultaneously effective: - "Indirect tanning". Primarily UV-B stimulates the production of a substance called "melanin", which isnecessary for tanning. The effect does not show until acouple of days after the sunbath. - "Direct tanning". The UV-A and also a part of the visible light cause quicker browning without reddening or "gettingsunburnt".

English The SunUV 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 face tanner the maximum is 30 hours (= 1800 minutes) per year. Example: Imagine that you take a 10 day UV course, with a 10 minute session on the first day and 25 minutes' sessions on the nine following days. The entire course then includes (1 x 10 minutes) + (9 x 25 minutes) = 235 minutes. Over a year you may have 7 of these courses. (As 7 x 235 minutes = 1645 minutes.) From the table it will be seen that the first session of a course should have a duration of 10 minutes. This is not dependent upon individual skin sensitivity. The face tanner This face tanner emits predominantly UV-A, and also a very small amount of UV-B. UV and your health After an excessive exposure to ultraviolet (from the natural sun or from your face tanner), the skin may develop sunburn. Beside numerous other factors, such as excessive exposure to the natural sun, improper and excessive use of your face tanner 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 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 select the advised operational distance of 10 cm (approx. 4"); - that you do not exceed the maximum amount of tanning hours per year (i.e. 30 hours or 1800 minutes); - that you always wear the provided goggles while tanning.

• 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.

• For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your face slightly during the session so that the sides of the face are better exposed to the tanning rays.

. 4822 690 80147 - not illustrated - ) How to use the face tanner - Insert the plug into a wall socket (220-240 V). - Refer to the table in these instructions for use and your personal memo (F) on the appliance or your own notes to determine the duration of the session. - Put on the supplied protective goggles (G). - Set the timer (C) to the session time. - Position yourself in front of the face tanner. The distance between your face and the tube lamps should be about 10 cm (= 4") fig. 2. - Once the set time has elapsed, the timer will switch off the appliance automatically. - Remove the plug from the wall socket after use. After the UV tanning session - Remove the plug from the wall socket. - On one of the session memos (F) you can note down how many sessions you have had. There are two such memos, for two users. Cleaning Always unplug the face tanner and let it cool down before cleaning.

• You can clean the outside of the face tanner 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. Replacing the tube lamps and/or starters In the course of time (in normal family use after some years) the efficiency of the tube lamps will gradually decrease. If this happens, you may increase the tanning session time or have the tube lamps (and if required the starters) replaced. Have the tube lamps and starters 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.
