HB555 and HB556: tanning sessions: how often and how long?
Take one tanning session a day for five to ten days.Wait at least 48 hours after the first session before taking the second session. After this 5 to
10-day course, we advise you to give your skin a rest for a while.
Approximately one month after a course, your skin will have lost much of its tan.You can then start a new course.
B
If you want to keep your tan, do not stop tanning after the course, but continue taking one or two tanning sessions a week.
B
Whether you choose to stop tanning for a while or whether you continue tanning on a lower frequency, always keep in mind that you must not
exceed the maximum number of tanning hours. For tanning appliance HB 555 and HB556 (10 tube lamps) the maximum is 23 hours (= 1380
minutes) a year.
Example
Suppose you are taking a 10-day course, consisting of a 9-minute tanning session on the first day and a 25-minute tanning session on the
following nine days.
The entire course will then last (1 x 9 minutes) + (9 x 25 minutes) = 234 minutes.
This means you can take 5 of these courses a year, as 5 x 234 minutes = 1170 minutes.
Of course, this maximum amount of tanning hours is valid for each treated part or side of the body separately.
(E.g. for the front side of your body and for the other side.)
Table
As is shown in the table, the first session of a tanning course should always last 9 minutes, irrespective of the sensitivity of the skin.

If you think that the sessions are too long for you (e.g. if the skin gets taut and tender after the session), we advise you to reduce the sessions by
e.g. 5 minutes.
To get a beautiful all-over tan it is suggested that you turn slightly during the session so that the sides of your body are better exposed to the
tanning light.
Preparing for use

1 With one person helping you, lay the tanning appliance on a table top with the lamps facing downwards (fig. 2).
2 Fasten the castor wheels to the stand by means of the spanner (fig. 3).
3 Mount the stand to the rod (fig. 4).
4 Use the socket wrench to fasten the rod with the socket screws provided (fig. 5).
5 Lift the tanning appliance from the table top (fig. 6).

standing with this tanning appliance (fig. 10).
To make this possible, you can adjust the height and position of the upper casing.
During tanning, the distance between the acrylic sheet and your body should be at least 20 cm.
If you intend to tan while lying, this means that the distance between the acrylic sheet and your bed, couch or mattress should be at least 40
cm (fig. 11).
Height adjustment

A gas spring stabilizes the position of the rod.
2 Adjust the height of the rod by pulling or pushing (fig. 13).
