reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning the safe use of the
appliance and understand the hazards
involved.
· Children do not realise the possible risks of
handling electrical appliances. Children should
not play with the appliance.
· Cleaning and user maintenance should not be
made by children unless they are older than 8
years and supervised.
· The appliance should only be supplied with
230 volt alternating current.
· To prevent possible hazards, a defective
power cord should only be replaced by the
manufacturer, its customer service, or a
qualified technician.
· Do not cover the ventilation slits at the back of
the appliance during use.
· Always make sure the filter screen does not
show any damages! Tanning with a defective
filter screen could cause serious skin burns.
OKB 912 D 20
· For reasons of technical safety, do not use
water on the appliance nor immerse in water.
· Do not use the appliance near water (e.g. in
bath rooms, near showers or a pool).
· Do not use the appliance with a defective
timer.
· Do not use the appliance in a potentially
explosive area.
· Unplug the appliance after every use.
· Only store away after the appliance has
cooled down. (Cool down period appr. 15
minutes)
· Caution:
The lamp will not illuminate when it is hot. Let
the lamp cool down 4 to 5 minutes before
using it again.
· Certain materials that fade out in sunlight (e.g.
paintings) should also not be exposed to the
appliance’s UV radiation for a prolonged time.
· Non users, especially children, should not be
present when the appliance is in use.
· UV appliances should not be used by:
o persons younger than 18 years;
o persons that tend to get freckles;
o persons with natural red hair;
o persons with atypically discoloured skin
areas;
o persons with more than 16 moles (diameter
2 mm or bigger) on their whole body;
o persons with atypical moles (atypical moles
are described as asymmetric moles with a
diameter bigger than 5 mm, varying
pigmentation, and irregular boundaries);
o persons who suffer from sunburn;
o persons that do not tan at all or not without
getting sunburned when exposed to
sunlight;
21 OKB 912 - 290917
o persons easily getting a sunburn when
exposed to sunlight;
o persons having a history of repeated, serious
sunburns during childhood;
o persons suffering or having suffered from skin
cancer or having a predisposition towards
it;
o persons whose first-degree relatives have
been diagnosed with black skin cancer
(melanoma);
o persons under medical treatment for health
problems resulting from sensitivity to light;
o persons taking photosensitising medication.
· The exposure should not exceed the personal
minimum erythermal dose (MED), i.e. the
minimum UV dose causing perceptible
reddening of the skin. If an erythema (skin
redness) occurs hours after the treatment, no
further exposures should take place. Treatment
could be resumed after a week’ break,
starting from the beginning of the tanning
guidance.
· Consult a physician prior to further treatments if
unexpected effects, such as itching, occur
within 48h after the first exposure.
· Ultraviolet radiation of the sun or UV
appliances can cause irreversible damages to
skin or eyes. This biological effect depends on
the quality and quantity of the radiation as
well as the individual skin and eye sensibility.
· The skin can react with a sunburn to excessive
exposure. Repeated excessive UV exposure of
the sun or UV appliances can cause
premature skin aging as well as an enhanced
risk of skin cancer. These risks increase with
every UV exposure.
OKB 912 D 22
· The surface of the unprotected eye can
inflame, and excessive exposure can even
damage the retina under certain
circumstances. A cataract can build up after
several repeated exposures.
· Consult a physician prior to treatment when
suffering from individual sensibilities or allergic
reactions connected to UVA exposure.
23 OKB 912 - 290917
· You should always take the following safety
measures:
o always use the included safety goggles;
contact lenses or sunglasses are not an
equivalent substitute for the safety goggles;
o remove any cosmetic products and make
up prior to the treatment and do not use
any sunscreen or products that could
accelerate tanning;
o certain medical conditions or side effects
can be intensified under ultraviolet
radiation; when in doubt, consult a
physician;
o wait at least 48h between the first two
treatments;
o never sunbath and use the appliance on
the same day;
o comply with the recommendations
regarding exposure time, breaks, and
distance to the lamp;
o consult a physician if persistent swellings or
sores build up, or in case of a change of
pigmented moles;
o sensitive skin areas, such as scares, tattoos,
and genitals, should be protected from
exposure.
The UVA lamp will not illuminate when it is hot.
Let the lamp cool down 4 to 5 minutes before
using it again.
