tanning instructions
Note
1
The various skin types can tolerate exposure to sun and the duration of
tanning sessions to different extents. Use the skin type table and the re-
spective tanning program as guidelines.
Once you have reached your fi nal tan, further tanning can only be achieved
by considerably exceeding the recommended tanning times. This is to be
avoided at all costs!!
2
UV radiation emitted by the sun or UV appliances may cause damage to
skin or eyes. These biological effects depend upon the quality and quantity
of the radiation as well as the skin and eye sensitivity of the individual.
3
The skin may develop sunburn after an excessive exposure. Excessively
repeated exposure to UV radiation from the sun or UV appliances may lead
to premature ageing of the skin as well as increased risk of the develop-
ment of skin cancer.
4
The unprotected eye may develop surface in
fl
ammation, or in some cases,
e.g. after a cataract operation, damage may occur to the retina after exces-
sive exposure. Cataracts may form after many repeated exposures.
5
Special care is required in case of pronounced individual sensitivity to UV
radiation and in cases where certain medicines or cosmetics are used.
6
It is not to be taken as a general fact that exposure to UV radiation in tan-
ning systems reduces the risk of suffering sunburn in any individual case.
7
The unit must not be operated if the timer or
fi
lter pane(s) are defective.
8
The following safety precautions must be taken
— Always use the goggles provided.
— Remove any cosmetics well in advance of exposure and do not use any
type of sunscreen.
— Do not undergo exposure when taking medicines which increase sensiti-
vity to UV radiation. If in doubt, take medical advice.
— Allow at least 48 hours between the fi rst two exposures; do not sunbathe
and use the tanning system on the same day.
— Follow the recommendations concerning exposure durations and inter-
vals
— Seek medical advice if persistent lumps or sores develop, or if pigmented
moles change in appearance.
