Safety notes
Instructions pertaining to a risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury
1) Global Service Division – see page 3.
DANGER!
DANGER – High voltage!
You can be killed or injured by an electric shock!
Assembly and electrical connection must comply with na-
tional and local regulations.
– The device may only be assembled, installed, upgraded
or repaired by specially trained and instructed person-
nel.
WARNING!
WARNING – ultraviolet radiation!
Unprotected tanning may result in eye injury and eye dis-
eases.
The unprotected eye can become inflamed on the surface,
and in certain cases the retina can be damaged by exces-
sive radiation. Cataracts can form after frequently repeated
exposure to radiation.
– Inform users to close their eyes during tanning and use
the included protective goggles that block UV (Order
No. 845921)).
WARNING!
WARNING – ultraviolet radiation! Follow instructions!
Failure to use protective eyewear may result in severe
burns or other eye injury. If discomfort develops, discontin-
ue use and consult a physician.
– As with natural sunlight, overexposure can cause eye
and skin injury, sunburn, and allergic reactions.
– Repeated exposure may cause premature aging of the
skin and skin cancer.
– Medications or cosmetics applied to the skin, may in-
crease sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
– A person who does not tan in the sun most likely will not
tan from the use of this device. Persons with very sensi-
tive skins (skin type I) must not use the unit, as with this
skin type tanning is impossible without damaging the
skin (e.g. sunburn).
– A person having a history of skin problems should con-
sult a physician before use.
– Overexposure should be avoided.
– Children, the elderly, or fair skinned people who always
burn easily and either never tan or tan minimally should
not use this equipment.

Safety notes
WARNING!
WARNING – ultraviolet radiation!
Danger of long-term consequences.
– Nursing infants and small children through age 7 years
may not use this device.
– The following applies to minors under the age of
18 years: Only use tanning devices in agreement with a
parent or guardian, or after consulting a physician.
– While there is no immediate clinical evidence of UVA ex-
posure and its effects upon expectant mothers, it is
strongly advised that expectant mothers be discouraged
from using the tanning unit.
WARNING!
WARNING – risk of infection!
Infections can be transferred through skin contact.
All items/equipment components, with which the user can
come into contact during tanning, must be disinfected after
every tanning session:
• Protective goggles
• Headrest
• Acrylic sunbed
• Handles and control panel
Note:
Occasionally, persons using the tanning device will experi-
ence a slight reddening of the skin – usually in small patch-
es – after the second or third session. This redness is often
accompanied by an itching sensation. This may be nothing
more than a heat “rash” caused by heat from the lamps
within the device. It is generally very limited and caused by
constant contact of the skin with the acrylic surface. It
should go away within approximately 24 hours and should
not reappear. This rashing can be lessened or prevented by
applying moisturizer lotion to the affected area after the tan-
ning session is completed.
– Follow instructions.
– The time between two tanning sessions must be at least
24 hours.
– Increasing tanning also requires an extension of the ex-
posure time (= radiation time) or after a certain degree
of tanning has been achieved, a further intensification is
not possible. However, the radiation time may not be ex-
tended as desired within the scope of the permissible ra-
diation doses! Therefore, only a certain degree of final
tanning dependent on the skin type can be achieved
without endangering your health.
– Inform users about proper tanning – see page 19.

Maintenance and care
Product information
Acrylic glass panels
The acrylic glass panels for the tanning devices are produced of acrylic
glass developed especially for this application. The acrylics used are
characterized by a particularly high UV permeability and resistance, as
well as an easy-care, hygienic surface that is gentle to the skin.
The acrylic glass panels are formed to their shapes for the specific devic-
es in a technically complex production process. Despite state-of-the-art
production know-how, the presence of minor spots, air bubbles or
streaks in the acrylic panels is unavoidable. In addition, microfine hairline
cracks can occur on the bed surface during operation.
These occurrences are material-dependent and are unavoidable in pro-
cessing, however have no significant effect on the utility value and can
therefore not be recognized as defects.
Maintenance and care
Maintenance and care play a major role in deciding whether the device
meets the requirements placed on it in a satisfactory manner. The com-
pliance with the specified maintenance intervals and the careful conduct-
ing of the maintenance and care work are therefore absolutely necessary
– see Page 30.
CAUTION!
Cosmetics or sun screen products must be removed prior to
tanning as they can cause damage (e.g. cracks on the sur-
face) when used continuously.
DANGER!
Extreme danger! High voltage!
During maintenance work there is a risk of touching live
parts and receiving a fatal electric shock.
– Disconnect device from power supply before opening –
also see Page 29.
– Do not reach behind covers and do not open the device
with the device switched on.
– Refit any safety devices (e.g. switches) after the work
has been completed.
CAUTION!
Only use genuine spare parts of the same type!
The use of other parts voids the conformity!
Any liability is excluded in case of damage or injury proven
to be the result of the use of non-genuine spare parts.

Cleaning
Cleaning
Acrylic glass surfaces Plastic surfaces
For cleaning the other plastic surfaces, it is best to use warm water and
a leather cloth. Never use aggressive cleaning agents containing alcohol
or essential oils. These may lead, in the long run, to damage not covered
by the warranty.
During cleaning, a slight discoloration of the leather cloth by the rubber
seals must be expected for production-related reasons.
CAUTION!
Do not rub with a dry cloth – danger of scratching!
Use the specially developed Antifect®fast disinfecting
cleaner for quick and correct hygienic cleaning of acrylic
glass surfaces.
Other cleaning agents such as concentrated disinfectants
or solvents (e.g. Lysoform, ethyl alcohol or other liquids
containing alcohol) must never be used for cleaning.
Failure to observe this voids all warranty claims.
Note:
Prevent damage to plastic surfaces. Remove rings, watch-
es, bracelets etc. before the start of cleaning work.

General tanning
instructions
General tanning instructions
Who can get a tan?
Anyone who also gets a tan in natural sunlight. Persons with sensitive
skin even tan more pleasantly and with fewer worries, as the radiation
dosage can be exactly defined with sunbeds.
Certain drugs – particularly those that produce photosensitivity – may
cause individuals under the influence of this type drug to experience ad-
verse effects and those people should avoid exposure to UV sources of
all kinds. Doctors will advice people taking these drugs to possible ad-
verse effects.
The speed and intensity with which someone tans are dependent on the
skin type and the individual melanin quantity in the skin. No two individual
skin tones are the same. A tan to one person may be different to another
and treatment length may vary.
What is Melanin?
The brownish pigment produced by special cells in the base layer of your
skin determines the individual's tan. As the skin is exposed to the ultravi-
olet light, the melanin is activated and combines with protein cells that
rise to the skin's surface, thus producing a tan. The amount of melanin in
your body determines how quickly and dark you tan. The more melanin
produced and exposure time an individual has, the faster and deeper the
individual will tan.
Which tanning times are recommended?
Although there is virtually no reason to worry about sunburn with the UV
tanning method, some consideration should initially be given to individual
skin sensitivity.
Once you have a tan, 1 to 2 tanning sessions per week are usually suffi-
cient to maintain it.
Should you use sun screen?
No! It is recommended to not use sun screens, oils or lotions intended for
outdoor use. Cosmetic sun screens with a sun protection factor (SPF)
are intended to filter out the sun's aggressive rays. However, the light of
our sunbeds only contains extremely small quantities of comparable
rays, making this kind of protection unnecessary. On the contrary, the
Note:
The tan produced by the tanning unit is a deep, rich “Cos-
metic” tan. However, regardless of how dark an individual
may tan on his system, it will not provide adequate protec-
tion against overexposure to natural sunlight or UVB tan-
ning systems.
DANGER!
Danger of skin injuries and skin diseases!
Although UVA radiation is relatively harmless compared to
natural sunlight, excessive tanning times can lead to the
skin becoming red and to burns.
– Comply with the recommended tanning times,

skin should be thoroughly cleaned and dried before each sunbath. Many
facial makeups have oil bases and should be removed prior to a session.
Adequate ventilation of the room or booth housing the tanning device is
required for proper and comfortable operation. Your tanning device will
perform best at the ambient temperature of 75 °F to 90 °F.
It is recommended that, following a tanning session, a skin moisturizer be
applied. This promotes a smoother, more even looking tan.
