D. Aircraft Maintenance Configuration
(1) Open access door 192MB.
(2) On refuel/defuel control-panel 800VU:
(a) Put the MODE SELECT switch in the OFF position and lower the guard:
1 Make sure that the DEFUEL/XFR valve is in shut position (light 21QU goes off).
(b) Put all the REFUEL VALVES switches in the NORM position and lower the guard.
(3) Close access door 192MB.

NOTE: If the door is operated in battery power, Airbus recommends you not to open the door more than the necessary time. If you keep the door open for a longer time the battery power decreases.
