Important
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save them for future
reference.
●Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the mains voltage in your
home before you connect the appliance.
●If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or service agent or
a similarly qualied person in order to avoid a hazard.
●Water and electricity are a dangerous combination! Do not use this appliance in wet
surroundings (e.g. in the bathroom or near a shower or swimming pool).
●If you have just been swimming or have just taken a shower, dry yourself thoroughly before
using the appliance.
●Make sure children do not play with the appliance.
●Always unplug the appliance after use.
●Let the appliance cool down for approx. 15 minutes before storing it.
●Make sure the vents in the back of the appliance and in the handgrip remain open during
use.
●Do not exceed the recommended tanning times and the maximum number of tanning
hours (see section ‘Tanning sessions: how often and how long?’).
●Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day. Avoid excessive exposure
to natural sunlight on the same day.
●Colours may fade under the inuence of the sun. The same eect may occur when using
this appliance.
●Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than natural sunlight.
Take the following precautions:
●Protect your eyes during tanning using the UV goggles provided. Contact lenses and sun
glasses are not a substitute for the goggles. The unprotected eye may develop surface
inammation. After excessive exposure in some cases damage may occur to the retina.
Many repeated exposures to the unprotected eye can lead to cataracts.
●Remove cosmetics well in advance of exposure. Do not use any sunscreens or products
that accelerate tanning.
●In case of pronounced sensitivity or allergic reaction to ultraviolet radiation, it is
recommended to take medical advice before starting exposure.
ENGLISH

●Do not sunbathe and use the appliance on the same day. The skin does not make any
distinction between UV-rays from the sun or from a tanning appliance.
●Protect sensitive skin parts such as scars, tattoos and genitals from exposure.
●If persistent lumps or sores appear on the skin or if there are changes in pigmented moles,
seek medical advice before resuming tanning.
●Never use the appliance when the UV lter is damaged, broken or missing or when the
timer is defective.
●Make sure that non-users, especially children, are not present when the appliance is being
operated.
●Do not choose a tanning distance of less than 65cm.
A tanning appliance is not to be used by:
●Persons with reduced sensory and/or mental capacity.
●Persons lacking knowledge of or experience with tanning appliances, with the exception of
individuals who are being supervised or have received instructions regarding the use of
the tanning appliance by a person who assumes responsibility for their safety.
●Persons younger than 18.
●Persons who tend to freckle.
●Persons having abnormal discolored patches on skin.
●Persons having more than 16 moles (2 mm or more) on the body.
●Persons having atypical moles (dened as asymmetrical moles larger than 5 mm in
diameter with variable pigmentation and irregular borders; in case of doubt, seek medical
advice).
●Persons with a natural red hair color.
●Persons whose skin is already sunburned.
●Persons not able to tan at all or not able to tan without burning when exposed to the sun.
●Persons that burn easily when exposed to the sun.
●Persons having a history of frequent severe sunburn during childhood.
●Persons (previously) suering from skin cancer or predisposed skin cancer.
●Persons having a rst-degree relative with a history of melanoma.
●Persons under a doctor’s care for diseases that involve photosensitivity and/or receiving
photosensitizing medications.

Tanning and your health
The sun, UV and tanning
The sun
The sun supplies various types of energy. Visible light enables us to see, ultraviolet (UV) light
gives us a tan and the infrared (IR) light in sunlight provides the heat in which we like to bask.
UV and your health
In moderation UV radiation can have a positive eect on the skin and overall health. Therefore,
it is important to follow the recommendations concerning exposure durations, exposure
intervals and distances from the lamp.
UV-radiation can cause skin or eye damage that may be irreversible. These biological eects
depend upon the quality and quantity of the radiation as well as the skin sensitivity of the
individual.
The skin may develop sunburn after overexposure. Excessively repeated exposures to
ultraviolet radiation from the sun or tanning appliances may lead to premature ageing of the
skin as well as increased risk of development of skin tumors. These risks increase with
increasing cumulative UV exposure. Exposure at an early age increases the risk of skin damage
later in life.
Certain medical conditions or side eects of certain medicines may be aggravated by UV
exposure. In case of doubt, seek medical advice
Tanning sessions: how often and how long?
Safe tanning means, among other things: allowing your skin to get used to the UV radiation. A
tanning program usually consists of a course of ten exposures. You can determine the duration
of each exposure by referring to the column for your skin type in the table below.
You do not necessarily have to follow this table when sunbathing, it acts as a guide. However,
do monitor the way your skin reacts as this is the real indicator. Limit the exposure time to
avoid getting a sunburn (skin erythema). If erythema appears hours after any exposure, it is
advised to cease tanning for one week and restart the exposures from the beginning of the
exposure table.
Instead of following a program, you could also opt to use a tanning appliance every now and
then to maintain your tan. It is important, though, that you do not exceed the maximum
recommended number of sessions per year.
●For this appliance, the maximum is 20 tanning hours (=1200 minutes) a year.
Of course, the maximum number of tanning hours applies to each separate part or side of the
body that is tanned (e.g. the back and front of the body).
Note: Allow at least 48 hours between the rst and second exposure. If unexpected side eects, such
as itching, occur within these 48 hours, medical advise should be sought before continuing with the
next session.
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with an 8-minute session on the rst day and a
20-minute session on the nine following days.
The entire course then lasts (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) = 188 minutes.
In one year you can take 6 of these courses, as 6 x 188 minutes = 1128 minutes.
Table
As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 8 minutes,
irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin. If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g.
ENGLISH6

if the skin gets taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the length of the
sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.
Note:For a beautiful, even tan, turn your face to the left and right from time to time during the
session so that the sides of the face are better exposed to the tanning light.
Note:If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream.

6 Check the distance between your body and the tanning appliance.
- During tanning, the distance between the UV lter and the part of the body to be tanned
must be at least 65cm. (Fig. 2)
- Use the measuring tape to check the distance.
7 Switch on the appliance by setting the timer to the required tanning time (Fig. 3).
Note: For the correct tanning times, see section ‘Tanning sessions: how often and how long?’

information below, please contact the nearest Hapro dealer.
Problem Solution
The appliance does
not start
Make sure the plug has been properly inserted into the wall socket.
There may be a power failure. Check if the power supply works by
connecting another appliance.
The timer may not have been set. Set the timer to the appropriate
tanning time.
The lamp may still be too warm to restart. Let the lamp cool down
for 3 minutes before you switch it on again.
Poor tanning results Perhaps you use an extension cord that is too long or does not have
the correct current rating. Consult your dealer. Our general advice is
not to use an extension cord.
You may have followed a tanning course that is not appropriate for
your skin type. Check the table in section ‘Tanning sessions: how
often and how long?’.
Perhaps the distance between the lamp and your body is larger
than prescribed.
When you have used the lamp for a long time, its tanning capacity
decreases. This eect only becomes noticeable after several years.
To solve this problem, select a slightly longer tanning time or have
the lamp replaced.
