CAUTION
1.Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
2.Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been made. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the refrigerant flow.
3.When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 250°F (121°C).
1)Move the power switch to the "OFF" position, then unplug the unit.
2)Remove the panels.

10)Braze all fittings while purging with nitrogen gas flowing at a pressure of 3 to 4 PSIG.
11)Replace the condenser thermistor (clogged filter) in its correct position.
