Introduction
Professional Line tanning appliance with integrated facial tanning unit
This Philips Professional Line tanning appliance provides professional tanning results and reliable performance at outstanding value for money.
The special frosted acrylic sheets merge the light given off by each of the tubes without compromising an effective tanning process, immersing
users in a soft sea of light rather than surrounding them with a battery of naked tubes.The design of the couch and the canopy gives users
increased freedom of movement while ensuring optimal side tanning.
It comes with a control panel with special menus that give you full control of the appliance and all its features and functions.With this control
panel you can determine which settings the user can adjust and to what extent.The appliance has a 40-minute timer (HB604/6000SX has a
24-minute timer) to prevent overexposure.

Tanning and your health

◗
As owner of this tanning appliance, you should give your customers the following information.
For your convenience we have also included this information in a separate section that can be cut out of this manual and can be made available to
B
customers.
Overexposure to ultraviolet light (natural sunlight or artificial light from a tanning appliance) can cause sunburn.
Besides many other factors, such as overexposure to natural sunlight, incorrect and excessive use of a tanning appliance may increase the risk of
skin and eye problems.The degree to which these effects occur is determined by the nature, intensity and duration of the exposure on the one
hand and the sensitivity of the person involved on the other hand.
The more the skin and the eyes are exposed to UV light, the higher the risk of keratitis, conjunctivitis, damage to the retina, cataracts, premature
skin ageing and the development of skin tumours will be. Some medications and cosmetics increase the sensitivity of the skin.
Therefore it is highly important:
that you follow the instructions in the chapters 'Important' and 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?';
B
that you do not exceed the maximum number of tanning hours per year (see 'Tanning sessions: how often and how long?');
B
that you always wear the goggles provided while tanning.
