Only metal thing I think it could be is the hot air feed.

Can take it off if you like,

to be honest it make slittle differnce which is why i said just to leave it... but if it's off... you could leave it off.

But will it be quieter with it fitted?

I'll report back tomorow...

It will be slightly quieter with it fitted. You will get more induction noise without it.

Most people don't notice the difference they make because most of them are failed. When they work they work well, sadly the bi-metal spring in them doesn't last very long. If it doesn't stay tightly closed when cold you should get a new one.

take it off and cut holes in the bottom of the box... More bananas!!! Keith said so!!!
