• In the following cases the number 00 will appear on the
display:
- After you have put the plug in the wall socket;
- At the end of a tanning session
- After a power failure.
In all these cases, the tanning lamps are out.
- When you put the plug in the wall socket, pilot light e will go

backward (fig. 21). Keep the button pressed in to adjust the time
more quickly.

• A blinking signal d will appear; the set time is shown on display
g (25 minutes in this case) (fig. 23). The countdown of the set
tanning time will now start.
• You can interrupt the tanning session by pressing pause button
fi (fig. 24). The tanning lamps will be switched off. You can
switch them back on again by pressing start button
I (fig. 25).
The remaining tanning time will appear on the display.
• You can shorten the set tanning time by first pressing the start
button
I (fig. 26). The tanning lamps are switched off. Set the
new tanning time by means of button a and press start button
I.
- Type HB 579 only: The HPA lamp of the facial tanner will not
come on immediately, but will start to burn after approx. 3
minutes.
- During the last minute of the session you will hear an audible
signal f (fig. 27). During this minute, the pause function does
not work.
• As soon as the set tanning time has elapsed, the solarium will
switch off automatically.
Cleaning
• Always unplug the solarium and let it cool down before
you start cleaning it.
• You can clean the outside of the solarium with a damp cloth. Be
careful not to let any water run into the appliance.
• Do not use any scouring agents or scouring pads.
• Never use abrasive liquids like alcohol, methylated
spirits, petrol or acetone to clean the acrylic sheets: this
could cause irreparable damage.
Replacing lamps and/or starters
After some time (after a few years in case of normal use) the light
emitted by the tanning lamps will become less bright. When this
happens, you will notice a decrease in the tanning capacity of the
solarium. You can overcome this problem by setting a slightly longer
tanning time or by replacing the lamps or by having them replaced.
• You can have the tube lamps and/or starters replaced by an
authorised Philips Service Centre. They have the knowledge and
skills required for this job and the original spare parts for your
solarium.
• If you want to replace the tube lamps and/or starters yourself,
you should proceed as follows:
- Unplug the appliance.
- Remove the decorative caps and undo the screws of the end
cover at the head of the couch and remove them (fig. 28).
- Pull the acrylic sheet approx. 10 cm out of the appliance.
- Undo the snap strip on the rear side of the couch, starting at the
head (figs. 29 and 31).
- Do the same with the snap strip on the front side of the couch.
- Remove the acrylic sheet (fig. 31).
Now you can replace the tube lamps and starters.
• NB: You can now also clean the acrylic sheet, if you wish.
- To remove the lamps, turn them to the left or to the right so
that you can lift them out of their holders.
- The lamps and/or starters of the canopy can in principle be
replaced in the same way. In the canopy the starters are located
behind the lamps at the head of the canopy. To replace the
starters, you will first have to remove the tube lamps.
- Starters can be removed by turning them to the left.
- New lamps and starters and the acrylic sheet are assembled in
reverse direction and order.
- Do not forget to fasten the end cover with screws again.
Type HB 578 only: Replacing a lamp of the facial tanner
• If you want to replace a lamp of the facial tanner (type HB 578
only), proceed as follows:
- Remove the acrylic sheet as indicated above.
- Remove the tube lamps on either side of the facial tanner lamp
that is to be replaced.
- Pull the lamp downwards and forwards at the sime time to
remove it from its holder (fig. 32).
- New lamps and starters and the acrylic sheet are assembled in
reverse direction and order. Do not forget to fasten the end
cover with screws again.
Type HB 579 only: Replacing the lamp of the facial tanner
• The HPA lamp of the facial tanner may only be replaced by
authorised Philips service personnel.
The environment
The lamps of solariums contain substances that can be harmful to
the environment. When you discard the lamps, make sure they are
not thrown away with the normal household waste but are handed
in at an official collection point.
