PROTECT YOUR FURNITURE
This model 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 furnit ure. 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.
