Care and Maintenance

Cleaning After Use

Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s bench and canopy after each
use. Use a non-abrasive disinfectant cleaner that 

does not contain

ammonia or ammonia derivatives

. Ammonia may damage the acrylic

shield. Spray the acrylic lightly with disinfectant and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth. Wipe the canopy grill with a soft cloth slightly damp-
ened with disinfectant, then wipe dry.

Thorough Periodic Cleaning

The cooling fans draw air through the bed and will cause a dust
buildup on the lamps and reflectors. When a dust buildup is observed,
it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the bench and canopy.

1

Remove the acrylic shield, metal grill and lamps.

2

With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp.

3

Clean both sides of the acrylic shield and grill with a non-ammo-
nia disinfectant cleaner.

4

Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.

5

Re-install the lamps, acrylic shield and grill.

Mechanical Inspection

Inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours of use.

• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place.

Pay particular attention to the hinge bolts.

• Inspect gas springs for signs of wear. Replace gas springs that will

not hold the canopy in the full open position when raised.

• Inspect the AC power cord and its connections.
• Inspect the acrylic. Replace if broken, cracked or badly scratched.

Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shield (bench)

The acrylic shield in the bench and metal grill in the canopy are
secured in place by hinged profiles which run the length of the bed,
both front and back. Simply pry up on the inside edge of the profile
until it releases its latching action (see figure below). Continue to pry
up the profile across its entire length until it swings back freely. Repeat
for the other profile. The long edges of the acrylic shield are now
exposed. Standing in front of the sunbed, grasp the long exposed edge
of the acrylic and carefully slide it toward you until it is removed.

Removing/Replacing Canopy Grill

Follow the above directions for opening the hinged profiles. As you
pry the hinged profile open the canopy grill should start to drop out
on its own. If you need to, slide the grill toward the head or foot end
of the sunbed and it will drop out easily.

After changing the lamps, replace the bench acrylic shield and canopy
grill by reversing the above directions. Close the hinged profile by
pushing it back into place until it snaps tight.

PROFILE

CAUTION

Be careful. The edges of the
acrylic shield may be sharp.

Start pulling from the

middle of the profile!

Using Your Sunbed

Before using your sunbed, please note the following:

• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, tanning oils, or other body

lotions prior to tanning except for those specifically made for use
with tanning devices. However, do not remove natural body oils by
bathing or showering immediately before tanning.

• Keep treated hair from contacting sunbed surfaces. Many hair prod-

ucts can damage the sunbed acrylic. Wear a shower cap or towel if
you use gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair products.

• Your sunbed is designed for individual use. Always wear the safety

goggles supplied with your sunbed or another approved pair of gog-
gles, as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Regular sunglasses do not
provide adequate protection from ultraviolet light.

Exposure Times

Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure times as shown in the
table below. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days
during their first week of tanning. Never tan more than once a day.
Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes
after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter
to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin
at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.
