Introduction
The tanning appliance
With this tanning appliance you can suntan comfortably at home.The tanning lamps emit visible
light, heat and ultraviolet light, giving you the impression you are sunbathing in real sunlight.The
special UV filters only pass the light that is required to get a tan.
The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared light to provide a comfortable warmth.
Type HB955: besides a tanning session, you can take a relax session by just switching on the special
infrared lamps.
A timer ensures that each session does not last longer than 30 minutes. Just as with natural sunlight,
overexposure must be avoided (see chapter 'Tanning and your health').

natural sunlight on the same day.
