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.
