Over 60% of the population are believed to experience
one or more symptoms of winter blues due to the low
intensity of the winter sun.
The most effective time of day to take a light bath is
between 6 am and 8 pm for a recommended period of
2 hours per day.
You can take lightbaths as often as you like but the
treatment is most effective if you take lightbaths of the
below-mentioned duration at least five days in a row.
Positioning the appliance
• Unfold the stand (4) at the back of the appliance
and place the appliance on a table.
or
• Mount the appliance on the wall using the enclosed
wall brackets. Check before mounting that the
wall and the screws can carry the weight of the
appliance.
Use
• Insert the plug (8) in the mains socket and switch on
the power.
• Switch on the on/off button (5).
• Sit down in front of the appliance in a position where
you can comfortably see the light and with your face
20-60 cm from the screen (2). You do not need to sit
directly in front of the screen.
• The duration of the lightbath depends on your
distance from the screen:
• The lightbath can be interrupted and you can do
other things at the same time (e.g. read or watch
television) as long as you sit within 60 cm from the
appliance.
• Do not look directly into the light constantly, but
look at it regularly.
• Always turn off the appliance using the on/off
button, and unplug it, when it is not in use.
• Allow the appliance to cool for at least 15 minutes
before putting it away or moving it.
TIP: Carry the appliance by the carrying handle on the
top of the rear part ().
REPLACEMENT OF FLUORESCENT TUBES AND
STARTING SWITCH
The lifetime of the fluorescent tubes is approx. 8,000
hours of normal use. If a tube fails, it must be replaced.
• IMPORTANT! Discard used fluorescent tubes in
accordance with the rules for environmentally
harmful waste, e.g. by taking them to a waste
recovery site.
How to dismantle the appliance
• IMPORTANT! Always make sure to switch off the
appliance and remove the plug from the mains
socket before taking it apart to avoid the risk of
electric shocks.
• Place the appliance on a non-scratching surface,
screen down.
• Remove the top cover (1) by unfastening it with your
fingers, first in one side and then in the other.
• Remove the two screws at the top of the stand
using a Phillips screwdriver.
• Remove the two screws in the rear base (7), and
carefully loosen the rear and front parts of the base
(6) from the rest of the appliance.
o IMPORTANT! Very carefully detach the two base
parts, since they are connected to the rest of the
appliance with cords that must not be damaged.
• Remove the 9 screws along the side of the rear part.
o The screws of the appliance may be of different
types. Therefore, pay attention to which screws
belong to the different screw holes in order
to place them correctly when reassembling the
appliance.

o Remove the locking
clip (d) by pushing
the ends upwards
until they click into
place and remove
the clip.

the fluorescent tube (a)
and pull the tube out of
the socket (towards the top of the appliance).
o Insert a new fluorescent tube in the socket as far
as it goes until it clicks into place.
o Press the locking clip onto the holder (c) until it
clicks into place. Check that the fluorescent tube
is fitted correctly.
o IMPORTANT! Replace the fluorescent tubes with
tubes of the same type. Always replace both
tubes at the same time.
How to reassemble the appliance
• Place the rear part on the screen, so that the screw
holes along the side of the rear part align with the
holes on the screen. The two parts click together.

make sure the cords are not caught between the
parts.
• Attach the rear base and make sure the stand is
correctly aligned with the screw holes at the back of
the appliance.

the stand with the two screws at the top.
