Regulating the suction power (fig. G)
The airflow adjust valve (12) allows you to vary the amount of
suction depending on the task at hand. The wider the valve is
opened, the less the suction power and vice-versa.
Choose:
• Minimal suction power for curtains and sensitive
materials.
• Medium suction power for upholstery cushions,
mattresses, carpet floors.
• Maximum suction power for tiled, wooden and robust
floor surfaces.
Using the blow vac feature (fig. H,)
