14.6.2. Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is inserted in the holder (Fig. 39, pos. 2) at the bottom side of the fan tray slot (Fig. 39, pos. 6). The soiling
of the air filter (Fig. 39, pos. 3) is caused by the pollution of the operating environment. A heavily soiled air filter can
cause excessive heating of the device. For this reason we recommend to clean the air filter as often as necessary. The air
filter can be changed during operation of the system.
