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 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 ne wooden furniture.
