PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE

This system is equipped with non-skid rubber ‘feet’ to prevent the product from

moving when

you

operate the controls. These ‘feet’ are made from non-migrating

rubber material specially

formulated

to avoid leaving any marks or stains on your

furniture. However certain types of oil based

furniture

polishes, wood preservatives, or

cleaning sprays may cause the rubber ‘feet’ to soften, and

leave

marks or a rubber

residue on the

furniture.

To prevent any damage to your furniture we strongly recommend that you purchase

small

self-

adhesive felt pads, available at hardware stores and home improvement

centers everywhere,

and

apply these pads to the bottom of the rubber ‘feet’ before

you place the product on fine

wooden furniture.
