General Oil Guidelines

! Never mix MO (Mineral) and POE oils - causes chemical breakdown
💧 POE absorbs moisture - keep container sealed, minimize air exposure
Check oil level through sight glass after 24 hours of operation

Installation Guidelines

1

Ensure the system is properly evacuated before charging with R134a refrigerant.

2

Use BSE32 oil only. Oil charge: 2500 cc.

3

Breaker size recommendation: 21 A minimum (based on RLA × 1.25).

4

Wire size should be rated for 16.5 A continuous load at 380-420V/3/50Hz.
