Note. Electrical insulation performance may decrease significantly if even a small amount of oil other than ND-OIL 11 is used in (or enters) the refrigerant cycle, causing the DTC to be output. If other oil is accidentally used and a DTC is output, collect the oil in the refrigerant cycle into the compressor and replace it with ND-OIL 11 to increase the ND-OIL 11 ratio amount. Replace the main components (evaporator, condenser, and compressor) if a large amount of oil other than ND-OIL 11 enters the system.
