20.Lift the cabinet top off the unit and stand it on the floor near the rear of the unit.

21.Lift the evaporator and its connecting tub- ing high enough from the unit to access the tubing underneath.

22.Access the sealed system and discharge the refrigerant into an approved recovery system.

IMPORTANT: Refrigerant lines must be connected by a licensed, EPA certified refrigerant technician in accordance with established procedures.

23.Unbraze (and cut) the evaporator from the tubing at the following locations:

Suction line at the compressor.

Hot gas line at the hot gas valve.

Cut capillary tube at the drier filter.

REASSEMBLY NOTES:

When installing the new evaporator, use a generous amount of thermal heat trap paste between the hot gas valve, and the evapora- tor tubing joint to protect the hot gas valve when brazing.

Be sure to reinstall the Permagum in the liner channel of the cabinet around the wire sheath and tubing, so that there are no air leaks after the cabinet top is installed (see the photo in step 19 on page 4-14).
