INSTRUCTION MANUAL  
PLEASE READ THIS OPERATING MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING  
THIS UNIT AND RETAIN THIS BOOKLET FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.  
 
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.
