
Pressing the dispensing button further in will engage the motor and activates the blow-out function.
Note: Finger pressure can be varied to fine-tune the speed within each mode.

6.2. Changing the nose cone, silicone adapter and filter (Fig. 2)
To change the nose cone, silicone adapter and filter firmly hold the nose cone by the ribbed collar, rotate the nose
cone counter-clockwise until completely loosen and pull out the nose cone and the silicone adapter. The filter can
be removed by simply pulling it out once the nose cone and the silicone adapter have been disengaged. Position
the new filter with the colored side upwards. To reassemble, insert the adapter and nose cone and twist the nose
cone gently clockwise.
Note: It is recommended to check and clean the silicone adapter every six months, or when necessary, to prevent a
loss of vacuum. If there is a loss of vacuum, please contact the manufacturer or your local distributor.
