Vacuum and Refrigerant Charge
NOTICE
Risk of improper refrigerant charge. Can cause equipment damage and reduced efficiency.
Check the refrigerant type to be used on the data plate of the air conditioner and on the
refrigerating compressor.

1. Topping up is suggested for short pipeline, too, due to the extra-charge of refrigerant.
2. The air conditioner is supplied pressurized with helium at 1 bar.
