(2) Purge the air from the charge hose.
– Open the valve at the bottom of the cylinder
and press the check valve on the charge set to
purge the air. (Be careful of the liquid
refrigerant). The procedure is the same if
using a gas cylinder.

This is different from previous procedures.
Because you are charging with liquid refrigerant
from the gas side, absolutely do not attempt to
charge with larger amounts of liquid refrigerant
while operating the air conditioner.

Notice :
Temperature difference between intake and discharge air depends on room air humidity. When the room air
humidity is relativery higher, temperature difference is smaller. When the room air humidity is relatively lower
temperature difference is larger.
