Introduction
The face tanner
With this face tanner you can suntan at home. A timer ensures that
each session does not last longer than 60 minutes. Just as with natural
sunlight, overexposure must be avoided (see the chapter 'Tanning and
your health').
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.
Water and electricity are a dangerous combination! Do not use
the appliance in wet surroundings (e.g. in a bathroom or shower-
room or near a swimming pool).
If you have just been swimming or have just taken a shower, dry
yourself thoroughly before using the appliance.
Make sure that children cannot play with the appliance. Remove
the plug from the wall socket after use as a precaution.
Let the face tanner cool down (approx. 15 min.) before storing it.
Make sure the vents in the back of the appliance remain open
during use.
Do not exceed the recommended tanning times and the maximum
number of tanning hours (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and
how long?').
Do not tan your face more than once a day.Avoid excessive skin
exposure to natural sunlight on the day on which you have a
tanning session.
Do not use the face tanner if you have any symptoms of an illness,
if you are taking medicines and/or are using cosmetics which
increase the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet light. Special care
is also required in case of a pronounced sensitivity to ultraviolet
light.When in doubt, consult your doctor.
The appliance is not to be used by persons who burn easily but do
not tan when exposed to the sun, by persons who have a sunburn,
by children, or by persons who suffer (or have previously suffered)
from skin cancer or who are predisposed to skin cancer.
Consult your doctor if ulcers, moles or persistent lumps develop
on the skin.
Always wear the protective goggles supplied while tanning to
protect your eyes against overexposure (also see the chapter
'Tanning and your health').
Remove creams, lipstick and other cosmetics well in advance of a
tanning session.
Do not use any sunscreens.
Do not use any suntan accelerators.
If your skin feels taut after the tanning session, you may apply a
moisturising cream.
