Dear Customer,
With your purchase of a Dr. KERN ta i g system, you
have opted for a tech ically superior, high-performa ce
u it. Our productio staff has made every effort to e sure
the reliable, trouble-free operatio of your Dr. KERN
system.
There is also a great deal that you ca do to e ha ce
your satisfactio a d exte d the life of your ta i g system.
Please read the User's Guide carefully a d i stall the
equipme t i accorda ce with the i stallatio i structio s
e closed. Proper i stallatio is esse tial to flawless
ta i g system performa ce.
Please note!
The ta i g system is desig ed for a fixed co ectio
with separator to a 380-400 V 3NAC power outlet (or for
a CEE plug co ector). I the eve t of power cable
replaceme t, o ly type H05W-5 FG 1.52 cable may be
used.
The ta i g system must be i stalled i a dry room a d
kept free of exposure to spray or drop moisture. Maxi-
mum relative humidity a d room temperature should ot
exceed 70% a d 28°C, respectively. Higher room
temperatures ge erate higher temperatures o the be ch
surface a d u der the su hood.
Air i take slots a d hot air exhaust ve ts o the cooli g
fa s must ot be blocked or covered, as the system may
otherwise overheat.
I case of fa failure-which results i u usual heati g of
the ta i g applia ce-tur the equipme t off immediately.
Always disconnect the system from the power source
when performing work on the system (replacement of
tubes/bulbs and starters or cleaning operations).
Repairs to the ta i g system may be carried out o ly by
a locally certified electricia or by pla t customer service
perso el.
Whe i stalli g the ta i g system, please e sure that
the floor has sufficie t load-beari g capacity (mi . 4.5
KN/m2 ). If the capacity is lower, the i staller must fur ish
appropriate docume tatio .
The acrylic plates i the system have prove to be
i compatible with several cosmetics a d clea sers
curre tly o the market. Compatibility with our product
ECOCLEAN has bee tested, a d the use of these products
is safe for the equipme t. We assume o liability for
damage to the acrylic plates caused by chemical products
of other ma ufacturers.
Attention!
This unit has an exhaust air system which only works
properly with an sufficient incoming and outgoing air.
The warranty expires if the requirements will not be
fulfilled.
Interesting facts about tanning
The radiatio of the ta i g u its is of a optimal
compositio . The special lamps emit a particularly high
proportio of mild UV-A ta i g rays. This avoids su bur
while allowi g the ski to ta i the shortest possible
time.
Aside from the cosmetic effects, reaso able exposure to
ta i g rays ca promote overall physical well-bei g
a d may, i additio , have a favorable i flue ce o a
variety of ski disorders. Perso s with k ow health
disorders, however, should always co sult a physicia
prior to ta i g. The ta i g applia ce ca produce its
optimal ta i g effect o ly whe ormal preco ditio s
which are required for ta i g i su light are prese t.
The radiatio of the ta i g applia ce will have o
ta i g effect o perso s whose ski does ot ta i
su light.
General safety precautions
UV applia ces must ot be used by perso s who su bur
i su light without ta i g their ski (Ski type I), perso s
who show a te de cy to su bur , childre u der 16 years
of age, or by perso s who have suffered from ski ca cer
or who have a te de cy to do so.
The recomme datio s specific to the i dividual u it
regardi g the ta i g times a d radiatio i tervals must
be observed.
Do ot use the system if the time co trol u it is defective
or the filter glass is broke .
Ultraviolet exposure (radiatio ) from the su or from UV
applia ces ca lead to damage to the ski or eyes. The-
se biological effects depe d o the type a d qua tity of
exposure (radiatio ), as well as o the se sitivity of the
ski of the i dividual.
The ski may exhibit su bur after excessive ta i g.
Overly freque t repetitio of ultraviolet ta i g sessio s
with su light or UV applia ces may lead to premature
agi g of the ski as well as to a i creased risk of ski
tumors.
Without the use of protective eyewear, eyes ca become
i flamed o the surface, a d i certai cases excessive
exposure to UV light may damage the reti a. Ma y
repeated ta i g sessio s may lead to the formatio of
grey cataracts.
Special care must be take i cases of particular se sitivity
of some i dividuals to ultraviolet radiatio , as well as i
cases where certai medicatio s or cosmetics are bei g

Therefore, the followi g safety precautio s must be
observed:
Always use protective goggles.
Remove cosmetics in time for tanning and do not
use any type of sunscreen agent.
Do not tan when taking medication which increases
the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet radiation. If in
doubt, consult a physician.
Always leave a break of one day between tanning
sessions and do not have a sunbath on the same
day.
Follow recommendations concerning tanning times,
intervals and distances.
Visit your physician if the skin displays persistent
swelling, sores or pigmented moles.
After tanning
It is advisable to apply a moisturizi g lotio to the ski
after ta i g.
Tanning program
Usi g data which coordi ates ski types with the radiatio

Mo ification to coin box operation
For this procedure 2 perso s are eeded.
lIf the coi box is ot co ected yet, separate the
applia ce completely from power supply.
lDuri g o e perso keeps pushi g simulta eously the
up a d dow butto at the timer, the other perso is
co ecti g the applia ce to power supply agai .
lIf the coi box is already co ected, the applia ce
must ot be separated from the power supply.
I this case follow the i structio s below:
- o e perso keeps pushi g simulta eously the up

- the other perso starts ru i g the coi box by
throwi g i a coi
lKeep pushi g the up a d dow butto as lo g as 0

The applia ce ca be started a d stopped.
The up a d dow butto s are locked. The other butto s
keep their fu ctio .
Resetting to timer operation
The resetti g is o ly possible, if the coi box is separated
a d the wire jumper L1-Time is mou ted (see

Cleaning the sunshower an the
acrylic plates
Use a moist cloth to clea the su shower . The acrylic plates
should also be clea ed at regular i tervals. Use o ly sol-
ve t-free, o -caustic a d o -aromatic clea i g age ts.
To remove the acrylic plates, pull each plate forward from
its positio , grippi g the profile bars o the side (49) from
behi d as show i Fig. 30. Be d the plate (50) slightly
toward the i side. The press the plate dow a d out of
the mou ti g frame grooves o the sides. The plate ca
ow be clea ed o both sides.
Replacing UV tubes an starters
To replace tubes a d starters, first remove the acrylic
plates as described above.
The UV tubes i your ta i g system must be replaced
after a certai umber of operati g hours.
The effective service life of the UV low-pressure tubes is
about 500 hours. Please e sure that o ly origi al
replaceme t parts are used whe replaci g tubes a d
starters. Replaceme t parts ca be ordered from
customer service or your local dealer. Please i dicate
the system umber (see ID plate). This applies to orders
for all replaceme t parts.
UVA low-pressure tubes (53) are removed/i serted by
tur i g them 90! i their sockets (54) both above a d
below a d pulli g them forward. Whe i serti g ew
tubes, please e sure that the co tact pi s o the tubes
are fitted properly i to the sockets.
After clea i g, replace each plate i the followi g ma er:
Set the lower edge of the plate o the pi (51), grip the
side profile bars a d press the outer edge of the plate
(52) agai st o e edge of the mou ti g frame.
The be d the plate slightly toward the i side a d press
