▪ When it is expected that the operating pressure will be low (e.g.
when cooling will be performed while the outside air temperature
is low), sufficiently seal the flare nut in the stop valve on the gas
line with silicon sealant to prevent freezing.
Silicon sealant; make sure there is no gap.
To open/close the stop valve
1
Remove the stop valve cover.

▪ Remove the knockout hole (a) in the bottom plate or
cover plate by tapping on the attachment points with a
flat head screwdriver and a hammer.
▪ Optionally, cut out the slits (b) with a metal saw.
NOTICE
Precautions when making knockout holes:
▪ Avoid damaging the casing and underlying piping.
▪ After making the knockout holes, we recommend to
remove the burrs and paint the edges and areas
around the edges using repair paint to prevent rusting.
▪ When passing electrical wiring through the knockout
holes, wrap the wiring with protective tape to prevent
damage.
