A. Service for Refrigerant Lines
WARNING
. Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by
properly trained and EPA-certied service personnel.
. Always recover the refrigerant and store it in an approved container. Do not
discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
3. Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a
trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and
then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (40 PSIG). DO NOT use R-404A
as a mixture with pressurized air for leak testing.
CAUTION
. Do not leave the system open for longer than 5 minutes when replacing or
servicing parts. The Polyol Ester (POE) oils used in R-404A units can absorb
moisture quickly. Therefore it is important to prevent moisture from entering
the system when replacing or servicing parts.
. Always install a new drier every time the sealed refrigeration system is
opened.
3. Do not replace the drier until after all other repair or replacement has been
made. Install the new drier with the arrow on the drier in the direction of the
refrigerant ow.
4. When brazing, protect the drier by using a wet cloth to prevent the drier from
overheating. Do not allow the drier to exceed 50°F (°C).
1. Refrigerant Recovery
The icemaker unit is provided with refrigerant access valves. Using proper refrigerant
practices, recover the refrigerant from the access valves and store it in an approved
container. Do not discharge the refrigerant into the atmosphere.
