Philips Suncare HB823, Manual

Page: 4 / 68

Introduction
Foldable tanning appliance
With this tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home.The tanning lamps emit visible light, heat and ultraviolet light, giving you the
impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight.The special UV filter only passes UV light that is required to get a tan.
The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared light to provide a comfortable warmth.
A timer ensures that each tanning session does not last longer. Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see chapter 'Tanning
and your health').
