Thorough Periodic Cleaning
The cooling fans draw air through the bed and will cause a dust build-
up 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-ammonia
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 se-
cured 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 direc-
tions. Close the hinged profile by
pushing it back into place until it
snaps tight.
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. Tan
-
ning 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.
Skin Type:
I Sensitive Skin (Burns easily and severely and does not tan.)
II Light Skin
(Burns easily and severely and tans minimally.)
III Normal Skin (Burns moderately and tans average.)
IV Dark Skin
(Burns minimally, tans easily and above average.)

Operation
1
Set the timer to the desired number of min-
utes (after first determining the proper time
period from the table above). The lamps
will turn on as soon as you turn the dial
from the “0” position.
2
Lift the canopy, lie down on the bench
(face up), lower the canopy as close to your
body as possible.
3
When the timer reaches “0” the lamps automatically turn off. If you
want to stop your session before time expires, turn the dial back to
“0”.
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.
PROFILE
Start pulling from the
middle of the profile!
Replacing Lamps
To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps after
approximately 500-700 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this
time but at a slower rate. We recommend using the lamps specified on
page 1. Use of uncertified lamps is a violation of Federal regulations
and may void your warranty.
1
Grasp a lamp at one end and at the middle, then turn the lamp a
quarter turn. The lamp may then be gently removed from its holder.
2
To reinstall lamp, insert pins on the ends of the lamp into the slots
on top of the lamp holder and turn the lamp a quarter turn.
CAUTION
Be careful. The edges of the
acrylic shield may be sharp.
