10.2.1 Cleaning the Ventilation Grids
The inverter takes cooling air in from underneath on the left side and blows it out again through the
ventilation grids at the top. Clean the ventilation grids if they are dirty.
Procedure
1. Turn the rotary fastener of the ventilation grid in the
direction of the arrow until the notch is in a vertical
position.
2. Remove the ventilation grid.
3. Clean the ventilation grid with a soft brush, a paint
brush or compressed air.
4. Re-attach the ventilation grid to the inverter.
5. Turn the notch of the rotary fastener back 90° to a
horizontal position.
Risk of damage to the inverter through intrusion of insects
• The ventilation grids must not be removed permanently, because otherwise the device will not
be protected against the intrusion of insects.
