10.Continue to evacuate to a maximum of 250 microns.

Close valve to vacuum pump and watch rate of rise:

·

If vacuum does not rise above 1500 microns in
three minutes, system can be considered properly
evacuated.

·

If thermocouple vacuum gauge continues to rise,
then levels off above 5000 microns, moisture and
non-condensables are still present. Re-evacuate.

·

If gauge continues to rise above 5000 microns, a
leak is present. Locate, repair, and re-evacuate.

11. When system is properly evacuated, close valve to

thermocouple vacuum gauge and vacuum pump.
Shut off pump and prepare to charge system.

Charging

NOTE: Do not use captured or recycled refrigerant in

Amana units. Captured or recycled refrigerant
voids all Amana and/or compressor
manufacturer's warranties.

NOTE: Charge system with exact amount of refrigerant.

See Technical Sheet or refer to unit nameplate
for correct refrigerant charge. Inaccurately
charged system will cause future problems.

To charge system:

NOTE: When using ambient compensated calibrated

charging cylinder, allow liquid refrigerant to enter
high side only.

1. With no power applied to unit, allow liquid refrigerant

to flow into system until no more refrigerant can be
added.

2. Close valve on high side of manifold.

3. Start (apply power to) system and charge to specifi-

cation through low side. Do not charge through low
side in a liquid form.

4. Close low side valve on manifold and pinch-off both

process tubes. Remove manifold set, crimp shut
open ends of process tubes and braze.

5. Recheck for refrigerant leaks.

Refrigerant Precautions

WARNING

!

To avoid personal injury, do not allow refrigerant to
contact eyes or skin.

CAUTION

!

To avoid risk of property damage, do not use
refrigerant other than that shown on unit serial
number identification plate.

NOTE: All precautionary measures recommended by

refrigerant manufacturers and suppliers apply
and must be observed.

Using Line Piercing Valves

Line piercing valves can be used for diagnosis, but are
not suitable for evacuating or charging due to holes
pierced in tubing by valves.

NOTE: Do not leave line piercing valves on system.

Connection between valve and tubing is not
hermetically sealed. Leaks will occur.

Open Lines

During any processing of refrigeration system, never
leave lines open to atmosphere.  Open lines allow water
vapor to enter system, making proper evacuation more
difficult.

Testing Procedures

!

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect electrical power source to unit and
discharge capacitor through a 10,000 ohm resistor before attempting to service, unless test procedures require
power to be connected. Ensure all ground wires are connected before certifying unit as repaired and/or
operational.
