3.2.2. Installation location/

• The device is equipped with non-slip plastic feet. Since furniture is coated with a variety of varnishes and plastics which are cleaned with different clean-73

ing agents, it cannot be completely ex- cluded that some of these cleaning agents contain ingredients which might damage the plastic feet, and cause them to become soft. If necessary, place a non-slip mat under the device.
