WARNING
•Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by properly trained and
•Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). DO NOT use R‑404A as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
NOTICE
•Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
•Do not leave the system open for longer than 15 minutes when replacing or servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in
•Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is opened.
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.
•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.Refrigerant Recovery
The condensing unit is provided with refrigerant shutoff valves and the icemaker is provided with refrigerant service valves. Using proper refrigerant practices, recover the refrigerant.
