Introduction

The sun

C

◗ The sun supplies various types of energy.Visible light enables us to

see, ultraviolet (UV) gives us a tan and infrared (IR) in sunrays

provides the heat in which we like to bask.

The tanning appliance

With this tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home.The

tanning lamps emit visible light, heat and ultraviolet, giving you the

impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight.The special UV filter only

passes the radiation that is required to get a tan.

The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared to provide a comfortable

warmth.

A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than 30 minutes.

Just as with natural sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see

chapter 'UV, tanning and your health'.

Important

◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to the

mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.

◗ If the plug has not been inserted properly into the wall socket, it

may become hot. Make sure you insert the plug properly into the

wall socket.

◗ The appliance must be connected to a circuit that is protected

with a 16A standard fuse or an automatic fuse.

◗ Always unplug the appliance after use.

◗ 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.

◗ Let the appliance cool down after use for approx. 15 minutes

before folding it back into transport position and storing it.

◗ Make sure the vents in the lamp units and in the base remain open

during use.

◗ The appliance has been fitted with an automatic protection against

overheating. If the appliance is insufficiently cooled (e.g. because

the vents are covered), the appliance will switch off automatically.

Once the cause of overheating has been removed and the

appliance has cooled down, the appliance can be switched on again.

ENGLISH6

◗ The UV filters become very hot when using the appliance. Do not

touch them.

◗ The appliance contains hinging parts, so be careful not to get your

fingers stuck between these parts.

◗ Never use the appliance when a UV filter is damaged, broken or

missing.

◗ Make sure children do not play with the appliance.

◗ Do not exceed the recommended session time and the maximum

number of tanning hours (see 'UV tanning sessions: how often and

how long?').

◗ Do not take a tanning session if you have a disease and/or if you

use a medication or cosmetics that increase the sensitivity of your

skin. Be extra careful if you are hypersensitive to UV or IR. Consult

your doctor in case of doubt.

◗ Do not tan a particular part of your body more than once a day.

Avoid excessive exposure to natural sunlight on the same day.

◗ Consult your doctor if ulcers, moles or persistent lumps develop

on the skin.

◗ The appliance is not to be used by people who get sunburnt

without tanning when exposed to the sun, by persons suffering

from sunburn, by children, or by persons who suffer (or have

previously suffered) from skin cancer or who are predisposed to

skin cancer.

◗ Always wear the protective goggles provided with the appliance

while tanning to protect your eyes from excessive doses of visible

light, UV and IR (also see the chapter 'UV, tanning and your

health').

◗ Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well in advance of a

tanning session.

◗ Do not use any quick-tan lotions or creams meant to speed up the

tanning process.

◗ Do not use suncreams or lotions meant to protect your skin

against sunburn.

◗ If your skin should feel taut after the tanning session, you may

apply a moisturising cream.

◗ To acquire an even tan you should lie directly below the lamp

units.

◗ Do not choose a tanning distance of less than 65 cm.

◗ Only move the appliance when it is in transport position. Make

sure that the two parts of the appliance have been properly

fastened before you move it. Do not attempt to lift the appliance

on your own.

◗ Colours may fade under the influence of the sun.The same effect

may occur when using this appliance.

◗ Do not expect the appliance to yield better results than the

natural sun.

ENGLISH 7

UV, tanning and your health

Just as with natural sunlight, the tanning process will take some time.

The first effect will only become visible after a few sessions (see

chapter 'UV tanning sessions: how often and how long?').

Overexposure to ultraviolet (natural sunlight or artificial light from your

tanning appliance) can cause sunburn.

Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight,

incorrect and excessive use of a tanning appliance may increase the risk

of skin and eye problems.The degree to which these effects occur is

determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the radiation on

the one hand and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other

hand.

The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV, the higher the risk

of keratitis, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature skin

ageing and the development of skin tumours will be. Some medications

and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.

Therefore it is highly important:

B

that you follow the instructions in chapters 'Important' and 'UV tanning

sessions: how often and how long?'.

B

that the tanning distance (distance between the UV filters and the body)

is 65 cm.

B

that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year

(i.e. 20 hours or 1200 minutes).

B

that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.

UV tanning sessions: how often and how long?

◗ Do not take more than one tanning session per day, over a period

of five to ten days.

◗ Allow an interval of at least 48 hours between the first and the

second session.

◗ After this 5- to 10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a

rest for a while.

◗ Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost

much of its tan.You can then start a new course.

◗ If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course,

but continue taking one or two tanning sessions a week.

◗ Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you

continue tanning on a lower frequency, do remember that you

must not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours.

◗ For this appliance the maximum is 20 tanning hours (=1200

minutes) a year.

This maximum also holds if you use the appliance for the tanning of

parts of your body (function º and ªº).

ENGLISH8

Example

Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with a 8-minute session on

the first day and a 20-minute session on the nine following days.

The entire course will then last (1 x 8 minutes) + (9 x 20 minutes) =

188 minutes.

This means you can take 6 of these courses in a year, as 6 x 188

minutes = 1128 minutes.

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).

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.

B

If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. because your skin

feels taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the

length of the sessions by e.g. 5 minutes.

B

For a beautiful all-over tan, turn your body slightly during the session so

that the sides of your body are better exposed to the tanning rays.

*) or longer, depending on your skin sensitivity.

If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising

cream.

REMARK

If you are only tanning a part of your body, you can also use the tanning

schedules mentioned in the table above, together with the information

in section 'UV tanning sessions: how often and how long?'

this time the lamps cool down.When the blinking has stopped, you can

switch the appliance back on again by pushing the § button.The

remaining time will now be counted down.

Changing the tanning time during a session

1 When you are tanning, you can change the set time by pushing

the ∞ button.The lamps will be switched off.Then set a new

time by pushing the ¢£buttons.Wait until the set time has

stopped blinking (this will take 3 minutes because the lamps

have to cool down first) and push the ∞ button again.

ENGLISH14

After the tanning session

C

1 Keep track of the number of sessions you have had by means

of the memory knobs (type HB953 only).The appliance has

two memory knobs: one for each person.

Cooling

The appliance is cooled by means of fans to prevent materials and

parts from becoming too hot.The tanning lamps won't go on if they

are too hot (see for instance "Interrupting the tanning session").

◗ After you have switched off the tanning lamps, the fans will

continue to work for three more minutes.

This is convenient, because it enables you to use the tanning lamps

again only 3 minutes after switching them off.

B

If you have switched the tanning appliance off by removing the plug from

the wall socket, the fans won't provide cooling for three more minutes, of

course.

B

If you have switched the tanning appliance off by removing the plug from

the wall socket and another person wishes to use the appliance for a

tanning session right away, the newly set time won't blink on the display.

This means that the next person will have to keep track of the three-

minute cooling-down period himself.

Cleaning

1 Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down before you

start cleaning it.

2 Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.

Do not let any water run into the appliance.

ENGLISH16

C

7 Grab the handle with both hands, put one foot against the

appliance to prevent it from sliding away and tilt the upper part

with the stand backward.

The automatic unlocking system will only work if you tilt the upper

part with the stand backward far enough. However, you should be

careful not to tilt it backward too far because you might lose your

balance if you do.

C

8 Push the upper part down.

C

9 Lower it slowly onto the base.

C

10 Fasten the lamp units to the base by pushing both catches in

the direction of the arrow.

Replacement

The light emitted by the tanning lamps will become less bright in time

(i.e. after a few years in case of normal use). When this happens, you

will notice a decrease in the tanning capacity of the appliance.You can

solve this problem by setting a slightly longer tanning time or by having

the tanning lamps replaced.

◗ Type HB953 only:The remote control of the appliance includes a

counter that registers the number of operating hours.

ENGLISH 17

C

1 Choose function •. Set the time to 00 and hold down the

pause/repeat § button to display the number of operating

hours.

The maximum number of hours the counter can display is 999. After it

has reached this number, it will continue to count up from 000.

2 When you release the pause/repeat button, the number of

operating hours disappears from the display

C

◗ On the packaging of the tanning lamps there is a symbol indicating

that the lamps should be replaced after 750 burning hours.The

appliance will tell you that you need to replace the tanning lamps

by showing an L on the display of your remote control.

C

◗ After 750 burning hours, an L will appear on the left-hand side of

the display.This means that the tanning power of the appliance has

decreased so much that replacement of the tanning lamps is

advisable.

Of course, you can choose to postpone replacement for a while by

setting a longer tanning time.

C

3 To remove the L from the display, press the pause/repeat §

button, with time indication 00 and function symbol• on the

display. Hold down the pause/repeat button and press first the

¢ button and then the £ button and the L will disappear from

the display.

The UV filters protect against undesired radiation. It is therefore

important to have a damaged or broken filter replaced right away.

Have the tanning lamps (Philips HPA flexpower 400-600), the UV filters

and the mains cord replaced by an authorised Philips Service Centre

Only they have the knowledge and skills required for this job and the

original spare parts for the appliance.

Environment

The lamps of the appliance contain substances that can be harmful to

the environment.When you discard the lamps, make sure they are not

thrown away with the normal household waste but are handed in at an

official collection point.

Information & service

If you need service or information or if you have a problem, please visit

the Philips Web site at www.philips.com or contact the Philips

Customer Care Centre in your country (you will find its phone number

in the worldwide guarantee leaflet). If there is no Customer Care Centre

in your country, turn to your local Philips dealer or contact the Service

Department of Philips Domestic Appliances and Personal Care BV.

Troubleshooting guide

If the appliance does not work properly, this may be due to a defect. In

that case we advise you to contact your dealer or a Philips Service

Centre.

The appliance may also fail to work properly because it has not been

installed or is not used in accordance with the instructions. In that case

you are able to solve the problem yourself by following the

troubleshooting tips below. Read the instructions below to check

whether you can solve the problem yourself before contacting your

dealer or the Philips Service Centre.

ENGLISH 19

Possible cause

The plug has not been (properly) inserted into the wall socket.

There is a power failure. Check by means of an other appliance.

The lamps are still too hot to go on. Let them cool down for 3 minutes first.

The appliance was not sufficiently cooled and the overheating protection

switched the appliance off automatically. Remove the cause of overheating

(e.g. remove a towel that is blocking one or more vents).Wait for 10 minutes

and switch the appliance back on.

The two lamp units have not been put in the right position (see 'Preparing

for use').

Check the fuse of the circuit to which the tanning appliance is connected.The

correct fuse type is a 16A standard fuse or an automatic fuse.The fuse may

also blow because you have connected too many appliances to the same

circuit.

You are using an extension cord that is too long and/or does not have the

correct rating (16A). Consult your dealer. Our general advice is not to use an

extension cord.

You are not following the tanning schedule suitable for your skin type.

The distance between the lamps and the surface you lie on is larger than

prescribed.

When the lamps have been used for a long time, the UV emitted will

decrease.This effect only becomes noticeable after several years.You can

solve this problem by selecting a longer tanning time or by having the lamps

replaced. After 750 operating hours an L will appear on the display (type

HB953 only) telling you that it is advisable to have the lamps replaced.

You have not pushed the upper part of the appliance backward far enough.

Make sure you first push the upper part backward before pushing it down

(see 'Storing').

The appliance fails to unlock automatically. In that case you first have to press

unlocking button (B), after which you can fold the appliance back into its

transport position in the manner indicated in the chapter 'Storing'. If the

appliance fails to unlock several times, contact your dealer or a Philips Service

Centre.

Problem

The appliance does not start

The fuse cuts off the power when you

switch on the tanning appliance or

during use.

Poor tanning capacity

The appliance cannot be put back into

transport position.
