This appliance is equipped with rubber feet to prevent it from moving. The feet are made from non-migrating
material specially formulated to avoid leaving any marks or stains on furniture. However, certain types of furniture
polishes, wood preservatives or cleaning sprays cause the rubber to soften and leave marks or a residue on the
furniture, and potentially risk the surface to become damaged. To prevent damage to wooden surfaces, we
recommend that you apply self-adhesive pads to the bottom of the rubber feet before installation.
3.1. Connecting to the mains
Connect the 8-shaped connector of the power cable to the device's power connection.
Connect the mains plug to a wall socket.

3.2. Install batteries

If you do not use the appliance for an extended period, remove the batteries.
Install batteries
Remove the battery cover.
Insert the batteries matching the (+) and (-) polarity markings.

CAUTION Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion which will damage the appliance.
Corrosion, oxidation, battery leakage and any other gradually acidic defect of this nature will invalidate the
