Page 57
QUEST ELITE 4 Flavor Installation, Service & Decommissioning Manual NOTE: For appliances containing flammable refrigerants, refrigerant purging shall be achieved by breaking vacuum in the system with oxygen-free nitrogen and continuing to fill until the working pressure is achieved; then venting to atmosphere, and finally pulling down to a vacuum. This process shall be repeated until no refrigerant is within the system.
Page 58
QUEST ELITE 4 Flavor Installation, Service & Decommissioning Manual Be aware that malfunction of the equipment may be caused by refrigerant loss and a refrigerant leak is possible. Discharge capacitors in a way that won’t cause any spark, using a Supco CapDis tool. (The standard procedure to short circuit the capacitor terminals usually creates sparks.) Reassemble sealed enclosures accurately.
