Disconnecting the gong will store a fault code but I believe that is
all that happens. It should be straight-forward enough to simulate
its absence to prevent the fault. I just wonder if by going gong-less
you might lose such things as the low-temperature warning. Does anyone
know what else sets off the gong, however briefly? I have an idea. :)
