Introduction
Full-body tanner
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 filter only passes the light that is required to get a tan.
The tanning lamps emit sufficient infrared light to provide a comfortable warmth.
Type HB977 only: 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 section
'Tanning and your health' and 'Relaxation and your health').
