Operation Manual

Dear Customer,
With your purchase of a Dr. KERN tanning system, you
have opted for a technically superior, high-performance
unit. Our production staff has made every effort to
ensure the reliable, trouble-free operation of your Dr.
KERN system.
There is also a great deal that you can do to enhance
your satisfaction and extend the life of your tanning
system. Please read the User's Guide carefully and
install the equipment in accordance with the installation
instructions enclosed. Proper installation is essential
to flawless tanning system performance.
Please note!
The tanning system is designed for a fixed connection
to a 380-400 V 3NAC power outlet (or for a CEE plug
connector). In the event of power cable replacement,
only type H05W-5 FG 1.52 or 2.52 cable may be used.
The tanning system must be installed in a dry room and
kept free of exposure to spray or drop moisture. Maxi-
mum relative humidity and room temperature should
not exceed 70% and 28°C, respectively. Higher room
temperatures generate higher temperatures on the
bench surface and under the sun hood.
Air intake slots and hot air exhaust vents on the cooling
fans must not be blocked or covered, as the system
may otherwise overheat.
In case of fan failure-which results in unusual heating
of the tanning appliance-turn the equipment off
immediately.
Always disconnect the system from the power source
when performing work on the system (replacement of
tubes/bulbs and starters or cleaning operations).
Repairs to the tanning system may be carried out only
by a locally certified electrician or by plant customer
service personnel.
When installing the tanning system, please ensure that
the floor has sufficient load-bearing capacity (min. 4.5
KN/m
2
). If the capacity is lower, the installer must furnish
appropriate documentation.
The acrylic plates in the system have proven to be
incompatible with several cosmetics and cleansers
currently on the market. Compatibility with our product
ECOCLEAN has been tested, and the use of these
products is safe for the equipment. We assume no
liability for damage to the acrylic plates caused by
chemical products of other manufacturers.
Attention!
This unit has an exhaust air system which only works
properly with an sufficient incoming and outgoing air.
The warranty expires if the requirements will not be
fulfilled.

Interesting facts about tanning
The radiation of the tanning units is of an optimal
composition. The special lamps emit a particularly high
proportion of mild UV-A tanning rays. This avoids
sunburn while allowing the skin to tan in the shortest
possible time.
Aside from the cosmetic effects, reasonable exposure
to tanning rays can promote overall physical well-being
and may, in addition, have a favorable influence on a
variety of skin disorders. Persons with known health
disorders, however, should always consult a physician
prior to tanning. The tanning appliance can produce its
optimal tanning effect only when normal preconditions
which are required for tanning in sunlight are present.
The radiation of the tanning appliance will have no
tanning effect on persons whose skin does not tan in
sunlight.
General safety precautions
UV appliances must not be used by persons who
sunburn in sunlight without tanning their skin (Skin type
I), persons who show a tendency to sunburn, children
under 16 years of age, or by persons who have suffered
from skin cancer or who have a tendency to do so.
The recommendations specific to the individual unit
regarding the tanning times and radiation intervals must
be observed.
Do not use the system if the time control unit is defective
or the filter glass is broken.
Ultraviolet exposure (radiation) from the sun or from UV
appliances can lead to damage to the skin or eyes.
These biological effects depend on the type and quantity
of exposure (radiation), as well as on the sensitivity of
the skin of the individual.
The skin may exhibit sunburn after excessive tanning.
Overly frequent repetition of ultraviolet tanning sessions
with sunlight or UV appliances may lead to premature
aging of the skin as well as to an increased risk of skin
tumors.
Without the use of protective eyewear, eyes can
become inflamed on the surface, and in certain cases
excessive exposure to UV light may damage the retina.
Many repeated tanning sessions may lead to the
formation of grey cataracts.
Special care must be taken in cases of particular
sensitivity of some individuals to ultraviolet radiation,
as well as in cases where certain medications or
cosmetics are being used.
