To adjust the flow of powder:
• Adjust the powder flow rate by rotating the powder
control knob on the front panel.
• For heavy stain removal, rotate fully clockwise.
• For light stain removal, rotate fully counter clockwise.
• The control can be set at any position as necessary.
• The view window at the center of the pointer lets you
observe the powder flow (a white fluffing of powder)
during operation. If no flow is seen, check for clogging
or add cleaning powder.
