v Clean the Irrigation Control with a damp cloth (do not use solvent).

6. STORAGE

To put into storage:
The product must be stored away from children.
The irrigation valves may become permanently damaged if exposed to
temperatures below 5 °C. We advise you to take the following measures
before the onset of frost:
1. Close the tap and detach the connecting hose between the tap and the
GARDENA Connecting Point, Art. 2722.
2. If the irrigation system is connected directly to your house's water system:
Turn off the water supply and open the drain cock in the water pipe for the
house.
3. Set the selection lever on all valves to the "ON" position.
4. Drain the irrigation valve / valve box.
This can be done in the following ways:
• Drain the system using compressed air
– or –
• remove all valves and store in a frost-free place
– or –
• for the Valve Box V3, open the drain cap and drain the supply pipe.
As long as the pipes coming from the Valve Box V3 outlets are drained
via a drain valve (e. g. in the GARDENA pop-up sprinklers) which is not
attached at a higher point than the irrigation valve, the irrigation valves
can be left mounted in the valve box.
• The smart Irrigation Control can remain installed after it has been
deactivated.
