Unpacking and Setting Up

• Remove the product from the carton and remove all packing material from the unit. We suggest
that you save the packing material, if possible, in the unlikely event that your unit ever needs to be
returned for service. The original carton and packing material is the only safe way to pack your
prod

uct to protect it from damage in transit.

Protect Your Furniture

This model is equipped with non-skid rubber 'feet' at the bottom of the unit to prevent the product from
moving when you operate the controls. These 'feet' are made from non-migrating rubber material
spe

cially 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.

Power Source
