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.
