long?').
◗
Never use the appliance when the control panel or an acrylic sheet is defective.
◗
Always wear the protective goggles provided with the appliance while tanning to protect your eyes against overexposure (also see the
chapter 'Tanning and your health').
◗
Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day.Avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day.
◗
Do not use the tanning appliance if you have a disease and/or use medication or cosmetics that increase the sensitivity of your skin. Be
extra careful if you are hypersensitive to UV light. Consult your doctor in case of doubt.
◗
Do not use the tanning appliance and consult your doctor if unexpected effects such as itching occur within 48 hours after the first
session.
◗
Consult your doctor if persistent lumps or sores appear on the skin, or if there are changes in pigmented moles.
◗
Do not use the tanning appliance if you get sunburnt without tanning when exposed to the sun, if you suffer from sunburn, if you suffer
(or have previously suffered) from skin cancer or are predisposed to skin cancer.
◗
If you have just been swimming or have just taken a shower, dry yourself thoroughly before using the appliance.

Tanning and your health
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light from a 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.
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:
B that you follow the instructions in the chapters 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';
B that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?');
B that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.
Tanning sessions: how often and how long?
Hb600/3200SX
◗
Take one tanning session a day for five to ten days.Wait at least 48 hours after the first session before taking the second session.After
this 5- to 10-day course, we advise you to stop tanning for a while.
B
Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan.You can then start a new course.
B
If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue taking 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.The maximum for this appliance is 16 hours (= 960 minutes) a year.
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with a 6-minute session on the first day and a 20-minute session on the nine following days.
◗
The entire course will then last (1 x 6 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 186 minutes.
B This means you can take 5 of these courses in a year, as 5 x 186 minutes = 930 minutes.
Table
As is shown in the table, 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.
