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).
Example
Suppose you take a 10-day tanning course, with an 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 or 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 light.
*) or longer, depending on your skin sensitivity.
If your skin feels slightly taut after tanning, you can apply a moisturising cream.

Note: 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 the chapter 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?'
Preparing for use
◗ The appliance can be easily moved and stored in transport position (fig. 2).
◗ If you want to give your face an extra tan (types HB953, HB952 and HB951 only) or if you only want to tan a part of your body (i.e. just
the legs or the upper half of your body; types HB953 and HB952 only), make sure you place the appliance at the correct side of the bed
(fig. 3).
1 Open the appliance by pulling the catches on both sides of the base out as indicated by the arrow (fig. 4).
The upper part of the appliance is now unlocked.
2 The upper part comes slightly up (by itself or with a little help) (fig. 5).
3 Grab the handle with both hands and put one foot against the appliance to prevent it from sliding away.Tilt the upper part by pulling the
handle and tracing an arc with it (fig. 6).
Do not tilt the upper part too far.
4 Pull the upper part up and towards you at the same time (fig. 7).
This requires some effort.
5 Move both lamp units sideways as far as possible, until they are in line with each other (fig. 8).
6 The distance between the UV filters and your body must be 65 cm.The distance between the UV filters and the surface on which you
are lying down (e.g. a bed) must be 85 cm (fig. 9).
