Instructions for filling the compressor
After first filling the refrigerating circuit or after cleaning the refrigerating circuit, all the refrigerant oil is in the compressor.
To avoid damaging the compressor on starting, proceed as follows:
–  Locate the dial control for air distribution in “central nozzle” position.
–  Open all the nozzles on the dashboard.
–  Set the fresh air fan switch at least to level 3.
–  Turn the temperature selection control to the left as far as it will go (minimum temperature).
–  Start engine.
–  After the idling has settled (approx. 5 sec.) switch on the air conditioning.
–  Leave the engine idling continuously for at least 5 minutes. Maximum engine revolutions: 2500 rpm.
–  Then switch off the air conditioning.
In this way the oil will be distributed in the refrigerant circuit and the compressor can then be used at full power.
