Using Your Sunbed
Before using your sunbed, please note the following important pre-
cautions.
• Your skin should be free of cosmetics, tanning oils, or other body
lotions prior to tanning except for those specifically made for use
with tanning devices. However, do not remove natural body oils by
bathing or showering immediately before tanning.
• Your hair should be free of gels, mousses, sprays, or other hair prod-
ucts prior to tanning. These products can cause damage to the
sunbed acrylic. As an alternative, a shower cap or towel can be
worn to keep treated hair away from the sunbed surfaces.
Exposure Times
Follow the guidelines for skin type and exposure times as shown in the
table on reverse. Untanned persons should not tan on consecutive days
during their first week of tanning. Never tan more than once a day.
Tanning normally appears after the first few sessions and maximizes
after approximately four weeks. Tan once or twice per week thereafter
to maintain appearance. Persons already having a base tan may begin
at advanced levels corresponding to the extent of their base tan.
Operation
Your sunbed is designed for individual use. Always wear the safety
goggles supplied with your sunbed or another approved pair of gog-
gles, as defined under 21 CFR 1040.20. Regular sunglasses do not
provide adequate protection from ultraviolet light.
This sunbed is equipped with a control key lock, allowing you to mon-
itor usage by children and/or others. To activate, insert the key into the
lock and turn, horizontal to lock and vertical to unlock (illustration
shown unlocked). You may remove the key in either position.
1 Set the timer to the desired number of minutes
(after first determining the proper time period
from the table on reverse). The lamps will turn on
as soon as you turn the dial past the “0” position.
2 Lift the canopy, lie down on the bench (face up),
and lower the canopy toward your body. For best
results, position the canopy as close as possible
to your body.
3 When the timer reaches 0, the lamps automati-
cally turn off and cooling fans will run for
approximately 5 minutes.
Care and Maintenance
Cleaning After Use
Clean and disinfect your tanning bed’s bench and canopy after each
use. Use a non-abrasive disinfectant cleaner that does not contain
ammonia or ammonia derivatives. Ammonia may damage the acrylic
shields. Spray the acrylic lightly with disinfectant and wipe dry with a
clean soft cloth.
Thorough Periodic Cleaning
The cooling fans draw air through the bed and will cause a dust
buildup on the lamps and reflectors. When a dust buildup is observed,
it is necessary to thoroughly clean the inside of the bench and canopy.
1 Remove the acrylic shields and lamps.
2 With a soft cloth, wipe the entire length of each lamp.
3 Clean both sides of the acrylic shields with a non-ammonia dis-
infectant cleaner.
4 Wipe the reflectors with a clean damp cloth.
5 Re-install the lamps and acrylic shields.
Mechanical Inspection
Inspect the unit’s mechanical integrity every 400-500 hours of use.
• Inspect the unit’s fasteners verifying that all are firmly in place.
Pay particular attention to the hinge bolts.
• Inspect gas springs for signs of wear. Replace gas springs that will
not hold the canopy in the full open position when raised.
• Inspect the timer as indicated in this manual under Timer
Maintenance.
• Inspect the AC power cord and its connections.
• Inspect acrylics. Replace if broken, cracked or badly scratched.
Replacing Lamps
To be assured of maximum tanning effectiveness, change lamps after
approximately 800-1000 hours of use. Tanning will continue after this
time but at a slower rate. To ensure trouble-free operation of your
sunbed, replace the lamp starters whenever the lamps are replaced.
We recommend using the lamps specified in the Safety Information.
Use of uncertified lamps is a violation of Federal regulations and will
void your warranty.
Removing/Replacing Acrylic Shields
The acrylic shields are secured in place by hinged profiles which run
the length of the bed, both front and back. Simply pry up on the inside
edge of the profile until it releases its latching action (see figure
below). Continue to pry up the profile across its entire length until it
swings back freely. Repeat for the other profile. The long edges of the
acrylic shield are now exposed. Standing in front of the sunbed, grasp
the long exposed edge of the acrylic and carefully slide it toward you
until it is removed.
After changing the lamps, replace the acrylic shields by reversing the
above directions. Close the hinged profile by pushing it back into
place until it snaps tight.
PROFILE
CAUTION
Be careful. The edges of the
acrylic shield may be sharp.
Start pulling from the
middle of the profile!
Removing/Replacing Lamps
1. Grasp a lamp at one end and at the middle, then turn the lamp a
quarter turn. The lamp may then be gently removed from its holder.
2. To reinstall lamp, insert pins on the ends of the lamp into the slots
on top of the lamp holder and turn the lamp a quarter turn.
