cycle.
To ensure correct system operation, the
specified vacuum values must be attained
during the vacuum cycle.
CAUTION
Do not use open flames to search for refrigerant
leaks, as this may generate toxic gas
(phosgene).
If the vacuum value exceeds
33 mbar (25
mmHg)
within
5 minutes
, check the system
