When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is
recommended good practice that all refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant
recovery cylinders are employed. Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system
charge is available. All cylinders to be used are designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that
refrigerant (i.e. Special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant). Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief
valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery cylinders are evacuated and, if
possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that
is at hand and shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants. In addition, a set of calibrated
weighing scales shall be available and in good working order. Hoses shall be
complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery unit, check that it
is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components
are sealed to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release.
Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the
relevant Waste Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable
level to make certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant.
The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric
heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this process.
When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.

IX.Troubleshooting
Do not repair or disassemble the appliance by yourself. Unqualified repair will lead to failure of the
warranty card, and may cause damage to users or their properties.
