Where to place the item :

Today's furniture is coated with a wide variety of lacquers and synthetic-coatings that are treated with an extensive range of cleaning products. Therefore, the possibility that some of these substances contain components that react adversely to the rubber feet of the item and soften them, cannot be completely excluded. The rubber feet of the appliance can cause discoloring to furniture surfaces. If necessary, place the appliance on a non-slide surface.
