NORMAL SELF-CONTAINED MODEL PROCEDURES
Refrigerant Recovery/Evacuation
Do not purge refrigerant to the atmosphere. Capture
refrigerant using recovery equipment. Follow the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Manitowoc Ice, Inc. assumes no responsibility for
the use of contaminated refrigerant. Damage
resulting from the use of contaminated refrigerant is
the sole responsibility of the servicing company.
Replace the liquid line drier before evacuating and
recharging. Use only a Manitowoc (O.E.M.) liquid
line filter drier to prevent voiding the warranty.
