Running-in instructions for the compressor
After the initial filling of the refrigerant circuit or after flushing/blowing through the refrigerant circuit, the whole volume of refrigerant oil is in the compressor.
To avoid damaging the compressor, the compressor must be loaded as follows:
–  Position the rotary switch for air distribution on „person flow“.
–  Open all dash panel vents.
–  Position the fresh-air blower switch at least on speed 3.
–  Position rotary switch for temperature selection on the left stop (minimum temperature).
–  Start engine.
–  Switch on air condition system once idle stabilisation has been achieved (after approx. 5 seconds).
–  Run engine without interruption for at least 2 minutes at idle speed.
   Maximum engine speed: 1500 rpm1.
–  Subsequently switch off engine.
This shuts off the oil distribution in the refrigerant circuit and the compressor can be fully loaded.
