SUGGESTED METHODS FOR VENTILATION
In a workshop, fixed and/or portable ducting, with exhaust fans, can provide good ventilation.
In a customer's house, various alternatives are possible:
(a) A portable ducted fan exhausting to the open air.
(b) Turn on a kitchen X-pelair fan and work near it.
(c) If the clothes dryer exhausts to the outside air, turn the fan on and work near it.
(d) Use the household vacuum cleaner as a vent.
(e) Work outside.
In service applications, the quantities used may be small, but observance of these safe practices is
advisable.
13.10 Removing Back Panel For Access To Water Lines And
Joints
For models having an internal condenser, firstly recover the refrigerant, then disconnect the condenser
piping to the back panel.
Lay the cabinet face down using a protective covering on the floor to prevent any damage to the front of the
cabinet.
Lever the back panel up at the bottom corners with a screwdriver. With heavy-duty pliers on either side, pull
up sharply. The back panel will come away from the foam insulation and out of the retaining channel. Some
force will be required initially, however once started, the panel will come away easier.
After removing the rear panel, commence cutting away the foam insulation to expose the joints. Clear away
enough foam insulation.
Caution: Prevent naked flame and heat on the foam and ob the ABS plastic liner. Use a heat absorbent
material between pipes, liner and foam or both. (Refer to Section 13.9 for foaming.)
