IMPORTANT
Consult the safety instructions and cleanliness
advice and the operation recommendations before
carrying out any repairs (see Air conditioning:
Precautions for repair).
WARNING
To prevent moisture from entering the system,
place plugs on the cold loop components which are
open to the air.
Note:
Use blanking plugs for the fuel circuits with part
numbers 77 01 208 229 or 77 01 476 857 to plug
any openings exposed to the open air. They must
be clean. Do not use any which have already been
used to plug a fuel circuit.
WARNING
Consult the device's operating manual to avoid
incorrect use.

WARNING
In order to avoid any refrigerant leaks, do not
damage (deform, twist, etc.) the pipe.
WARNING
Do not remove the blanking plugs from each
component until the last moment.
Also, do not remove the components from their
