Adding refrigerant
After finishing vacuuming, exchange the vacuum pump with a refrigerant canister and start additional charging of
refrigerant.
Calculation of additional refrigerant charge amount
Refrigerant charge amount at shipment from the factory does not include the refrigerant for pipes at the local site.
For refrigerant to be charged in pipes at the local site, calculate the amount and charge it additionally.
NOTE
If the additional refrigerant amount indicates minus as the result of calculation, use the air conditioner without
additional refrigerant.
