Q. The Door Panel on my bed does not work or bulbs will not come on.
A. Check that the white cables at the back of the panels of the bed have not become loose. Switch the mains off at the plugs and unplug the bed. Then follow the cables to the back of the bed and unplug them and plug them back in tight. Plug the bed back in and switch on.
99% of the time it is the cables that have come loose due to the movement of the door when using the bed.

Q. What happens if the bed breaks down?
A. The beds are serviced regularly and should not break down. In the event of the bed not powering up please try the following:
- Unplug the bed at the socket. Try plugging in your hairdryer or other electric device to make sure a fuse has not gone in the socket.
- Plug the bed into another socket to see if it works.
- Check that there are not tripped switches
- Are there any other devices drawing power, for example if the dryer is on at the same time and on the same switch it could cause a switch to trip?
Q. Can other people use the bed?
A. Yes other people can use the bed, however, it is a domestic bed to be used for the purpose of home hire. It should not be sublet.

Q. How much electricity can I expect the bed to use?
A. The beds do not use excessive electricity. You can expect to pay 30-40 euro on your electricity bill, based on 1-4 people using the bed. It is good to note that it is the powering up of the bed that uses most electricity.

Q. The bed does not look like I thought it would
A. If you use sunbeds in a store it is widely thought that the commercial sunbeds in the stores are the same as the bed you hire to your home. The beds in a store are for commercial use and would require electrical work to install in a home. The domestic beds are designed for the electrical power found in a house.

Q. How many minutes should I do for each session?
A. There is no such thing as a quick tan. The driver will leave you with a user guide that will advise you on the recommended usage times. For the first week tanners should begin at 2/3 minutes and work up gradually.

Q. I and others using the bed are itching
This is called 'prickly heat' and is caused by over exposure on the bed too quickly. Take a 2 day break from the bed and then reduce your tanning time and build up slowly to avoid itching and burning.

Q. I have the bed a week and am not seeing any tan develop
A. It takes the 4 weeks to develop a tan. The first week is done slowly to get your skin used to the UV Light and build a base, the second week you build up slowly your tanning time and develop the base tan. The final 2 weeks begin to colour the skin. This is providing your skin type takes a colour.
