PERIMETER HOT TUBE REPAIR KIT
Effective July 1, 1992, Section 608 of the Clean Air Act prohibits Individuals from
knowingly venting ozone depleting compounds used as refrigerants into the
atmosphere while maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of refrigerant
equipment.

The Perimeter Hot Tube must be bypassed in the sealed refrigeration system and
a low wattage heater wire installed inside the tube. This heater will prevent
condensation from forming on the exterior front edge of the cabinet.
Bypassing Perimeter Hot Tube - Step 1
1. Disconnect service cord from power supply.
