▪ 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.
1 Remove the stop valve cover.
2 Insert a hexagon wrench (liquid side: 4 mm, gas side: 4 mm) into the valve
