General safety precautions WARNING ALWAYS recover the refrigerant. Do NOT release them directly into the environment. Use a vacuum pump to evacuate the installation. WARNING Make sure there is no oxygen in the system. Refrigerant may ONLY be charged after performing the leak test and the vacuum drying.
General safety precautions ▪ Charge the refrigerant in liquid form. Adding it in gas form may prevent normal operation. CAUTION When the refrigerant charging procedure is done or when pausing, close the valve of the refrigerant tank immediately. If the valve is NOT closed immediately, remaining pressure might charge additional refrigerant.

Piping installation ▪ Do NOT use flux when brazing copper-to-copper refrigerant piping. Use phosphor copper brazing filler alloy (BCuP-2: JIS Z 3264/, BCu 93P-710/795: ISO3677), which does not require flux. Flux has an extremely harmful influence on refrigerant piping systems. E.g., if a chlorine-based flux is used, it will cause pipe corrosion or, in particular, if the flux contains fluorine, it will deteriorate the refrigerant oil.
