Note:
The tan produced by the tanning unit is a deep, rich
“Cosmetic” tan. However, regardless of how dark an individ-
ual may tan on his system, it will not provide adequate protec-
tion against overexposure to natural sunlight or UVB tanning
systems.
Which tanning times are recommended?
Although there is virtually no reason to worry about sunburn with the UV
tanning method, some consideration should initially be given to individual
skin sensitivity.
Once you have a tan, 1 to 2 tanning sessions per week are usually suffi-
cient to maintain it.
Should you use sun screen?
No! It is recommended to not use sun screens, oils or lotions intended for
outdoor use. Cosmetic sun screens with a sun protection factor (SPF)
are intended to filter out the sun's aggressive rays. However, the light of
our sunbeds only contains extremely small quantities of comparable
rays, making this kind of protection unnecessary. On the contrary, the
skin should be thoroughly cleaned and dried before each sunbath. Many
facial makeups have oil bases and should be removed prior to a session.
Adequate ventilation of the room or booth housing the tanning device is
required for proper and comfortable operation. Your tanning device will
perform best at the ambient temperature of 75 °F to 90 °F.
It is recommended that, following a tanning session, a skin moisturizer be
applied. This promotes a smoother, more even looking tan.

Danger of skin injuries and skin diseases!
DANGER!

to natural sunlight, excessive tanning times can lead to
the skin becoming red and to burns.
