Open valve stems gently
When opening valve stems, turn the hexagonal wrench until it hits against the stopper. Do not try to force the
valve to open further.
Caution
Do not mix refrigerant types.
Some systems require additional charging depending on pipe lengths. The standar
d pipe length varies acco
rding to local
regulations. The standar
d pipe length is 5m (16‘). The additional
refrigerant to be charged can be calculated using the
following formula:
Addutional Refrigerant per Pipe Length
Air Purging
