The solarium does not work properly?
If your solarium does not work properly, this may be due to a defect. In that case we advise you to contact your dealer or a Philips
Service Centre.
The solarium may also fail to work properly because it has not been installed or is not used in accordance with the instructions. In that
case you are able to solve the problem yourself by following the troubleshooting tips below. Read the instructions below to check
whether you can solve the problem yourself before contacting your dealer or the Philips Service Centre.
Problem
• Solarium does not start.
• The fuse cuts off the power when you
switch on the solarium or during use.
• Poor tanning capacity.
• The solarium cannot be placed back in the
transport position.
Possible cause
• Plug has not been (properly) inserted into the wall socket.
• There is a power failure. Check by means of another appliance.
• The lamps are still too hot to go on. Let them cool down for 3 minutes first.
• The appliance was not sufficiently cooled and the overheating protection
switched appliance off automatically. Remove the cause of overheating (e.g.
remove a towel that is blocking one or more vents). Wait for 10 minutes and
switch the appliance back on.
• The two side lamp units L and the centre lamp unit M have not been put in
the right position (see ‘making the solarium ready for use’).
• Check the fuse of the circuit to which the solarium is connected. The correct
fuse type is a 16A standard fuse or a slow-blow automatic fuse. The fuse may
also blow because you have connected (too many) different appliances to the
same circuit.
• You are using an extension cord that is too long, that is wound up and/or does
not have the correct rating (16A). Consult your dealer. Our general advice is
not to use an extension cord.
• You are not following the tanning schedule suitable for your skin type.
• The distance between the lamps and the surface you lie on is greater than
prescribed.
• When the lamps have been used for a long time, the UV emitted will decrease.
This effect only becomes noticeable after several years. You can overcome this
problem by selecting a longer tanning time or by having the lamps replaced.
• You have not pushed the upper part of the appliance backward far enough.
Make sure you first push the upper part backward before pushing it down (fig.
36 - 38).
• The appliance fails to unlock automatically. In that case you first have to press
unlocking button E (fig. 42), after which you can fold the appliance back into its
transport position in the manner indicated in the section ‘Transport position’. If
the appliance fails to unlock several times, contact your dealer or a Philips
Service Centre.
