Discharging System

Discharge

^ Keep away from open flames. The refrigerant, although nonflammable. will produce a poisonous gas if burned.
^ Work in a well-ventilated area. Refrigerant evaporates quickly, and can force all the air out of a small enclosed area.





1. Connect a Refrigerant Recovery System to the A/C system.
2. Operate the Refrigerant Recovery System according to the manufacturer's instructions.


IMPORTANT:
- Do not vent refrigerant to the atmosphere. The chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) used in conventional refrigerant (R-12) may damage the earth's ozone layer.
- Always use a UL listed refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment to extract the refrigerant before you open an A/C system to make repairs. Follow the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
