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 takes some time. The first effect only becomes visible after a few sessions (see section '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 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: how often and how long?');
- that you always wear the goggles provided while you are tanning.
tanning sessions: how often and how long?
Do not take more than one tanning session a day, over a period of 5 to 10 days. Wait at least 48 hours after the first session before you
,
take the second session. After this 5 to 10-day course, we advise you to stop tanning for a while.
Note:Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan. You can then start a new course.
Note:If 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 this appliance, the maximum is 17 hours (= 1020 minutes) a year.
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day course, with an 6-minute tanning session on the first day and a 20-minute tanning session on the following nine days.
The entire course then lasts (1 x 6 minutes) + (9 x 0 minutes) = 186 minutes.
,
Note:In one year you can take 5 of these courses, as 5 x 186 minutes = 930 minutes.
table
As the table shows, the first session of a tanning course should always last 6 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.

preparing for use

Always assemble and move the appliance together with another person.
During assembly, the appliance becomes heavier and more difficult to move. We therefore advise you to assemble the appliance at the
,
place where you are going to use it.
Make sure there is enough free space beside (at least 50cm) and behind (at least 0cm) the appliance.
,
If you have to place the couch and/or canopy on the floor, make sure the tube lamps face 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. )
1 First assemble the legs of the frame by fastening the angle sections with the bolts and then fit the side panels. (Fig. 3)
Note:the holes in the side panels must be on the front side.
 Place the couch onto the legs carefully. Make sure the legs slide steadily into the appropriate openings in the couch. (Fig. )
Note:Before you put the couch on the legs, decide how you want the canopy to open. The side of the couch with the connecting holes is the side on
which the canopy hinges.
