Use L key into the small capillary tube first, turn it to the left to loosen it slightly for 3 seconds, then close again. Then press the button on the big pipe line until the pressure is really small. This method is to remove the air in the pipe. So that the contents of the capillary tube are replaced with freon. Loosen again, until all the gas flows in the small pipe. Then close the security that you removed earlier install it as before.
