Notice
Dirt and contamination
^ Risk of damage to units or components

-> Protect components from dirt and contamination.

-> Clean or replace dirty components.

Information
^ The metal strainers on the control ducts can spring off when pulling out the valve.
^ The reason for this is that the spot-welds may have become loose due to vibrations.
^ Check during re-installation that the strainers are still in place. If the strainers are missing, the valve will have to be replaced.
