Dear Customer,
With your purchase of a Dr. KERN tanning system, you
have opted for a technically superior, high-performance
unit. Our production staff has made every effort to ensure
the reliable, trouble-free operation of your Dr. KERN
system.
There is also a great deal that you can do to enhance
your satisfaction and extend the life of your tanning system.
Please read the User's Guide carefully and install the
equipment in accordance with the installation instructions
enclosed. Proper installation is essential to flawless
tanning system performance.
Please note!
The tanning system is designed for a fixed connection
with separator to a 380-400 V 3NAC power outlet (or for
a CEE plug connector). In the event of power cable
replacement, only type H05W-5 FG 1.5
2
cable may be
used.
The tanning system must be installed in a dry room and
kept free of exposure to spray or drop moisture. Maxi-
mum relative humidity and room temperature should not
exceed 70% and 28°C, respectively. Higher room
temperatures generate higher temperatures on the bench
surface and under the sun hood.
Air intake slots and hot air exhaust vents on the cooling
fans must not be blocked or covered, as the system may
otherwise overheat.
In case of fan failure-which results in unusual heating of
the tanning appliance-turn the equipment 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 tanning system may be carried out only by
a locally certified electrician or by plant customer service
personnel.
When installing the tanning system, please ensure that
the floor has sufficient load-bearing capacity (min. 4.5
KN/m
2
). If the capacity is lower, the installer must furnish
appropriate documentation.
The acrylic plates in the system have proven to be
incompatible with several cosmetics and cleansers
currently on the market. Compatibility with our product
ECOCLEAN has been tested, and the use of these products
is safe for the equipment. We assume no liability for
damage to the acrylic plates caused by chemical products
of other manufacturers.
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 radiation of the tanning units is of an optimal
composition. The special lamps emit a particularly high
proportion of mild UV-A tanning rays. This avoids sunburn
while allowing the skin to tan in the shortest possible
time.
Aside from the cosmetic effects, reasonable exposure to
tanning rays can promote overall physical well-being
and may, in addition, have a favorable influence on a
variety of skin disorders. Persons with known health
disorders, however, should always consult a physician
prior to tanning. The tanning appliance can produce its
optimal tanning effect only when normal preconditions
which are required for tanning in sunlight are present.
The radiation of the tanning appliance will have no
tanning effect on persons whose skin does not tan in
sunlight.
General safety precautions
UV appliances must not be used by persons who sunburn
in sunlight without tanning their skin (Skin type I), persons
who show a tendency to sunburn, children under 16 years
of age, or by persons who have suffered from skin cancer
or who have a tendency to do so.
The recommendations specific to the individual unit
regarding the tanning times and radiation intervals must
be observed.
Do not use the system if the time control unit is defective
or the filter glass is broken.
Ultraviolet exposure (radiation) from the sun or from UV
appliances can lead to damage to the skin or eyes. The-
se biological effects depend on the type and quantity of
exposure (radiation), as well as on the sensitivity of the
skin of the individual.
The skin may exhibit sunburn after excessive tanning.
Overly frequent repetition of ultraviolet tanning sessions
with sunlight or UV appliances may lead to premature
aging of the skin as well as to an increased risk of skin
tumors.
Without the use of protective eyewear, eyes can become
inflamed on the surface, and in certain cases excessive
exposure to UV light may damage the retina. Many
repeated tanning sessions may lead to the formation of
grey cataracts.
Special care must be taken in cases of particular sensitivity
of some individuals to ultraviolet radiation, as well as in
cases where certain medications or cosmetics are being
