c. Open the vacuum gauge valve (D) and evacuate to 250
microns or less. If the system cannot be evacuated,
replace the vacuum pump equipment and repeat steps
(a) through (c) again. Otherwise, the pump and gauge
are operating properly and you can continue on to the
next step; evacuating the system. Before proceeding,
be sure to close the valve to the vacuum gauge to avoid
“pegging the meter” and potential gauge damage.
Step 2. Evacuate Lines And Indoor Coil.
a. Open the high and low side valves (B & A) on the gauge
manifold. NOTE: Only open the valve (E) on the gauge
manifold leading to the cylinder, not the valve on the
charging cylinder (F).
b. Evacuate the system to about 29 inches Hg as mea-
sured by the low side gauge.
c. Open the valve (D) to the vacuum gauge. Evacuate
until the gauge reads 250 microns or less.
d. Close the valve to the vacuum pump (C). Wait five
minutes, then check the pressure on the vacuum
gauge:
1. If the pressure is not more than 1500 microns, the
system is leak-free and properly evacuated. Pro-
ceed to step (e).
2. If the pressure rises, but holds at about 5000 mi-
crons, moisture and noncondensibles are still present.
Open the valve to the vacuum pump (E), and go back
to step (c).
3. If the pressure rises above 5000 microns, a leak is
present. Go back to “Leak Testing” section on page
5.
e. Close the valve to the vacuum gauge.
f. Close the valve to the vacuum pump. Shut off the
pump.
Electrical Connections
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, shock, or death,
open the electrical disconnect switch
before electrically connecting the unit.
Wiring must conform with National
Electrical Code (NEC) or Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC) and all local codes.
The wiring diagram for this unit can be found on the control
box door. Refer to Figure 4 for field wiring connections.

WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire or equipment
damage, use only copper conductors.
WARNING
Undersized wires could cause poor equip-
ment performance, equipment damage, or
fire. Consult the National Electrical Code
or a qualified electrician for proper wire
size.
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, injury, or death,
wiring to the unit must be properly
grounded.
Wire size is important to ensure proper unit operation. The
size must be sufficient to carry the minimum circuit ampacity
listed on the unit serial data plate. Amana recommends
sizing the wires to limit the voltage drop to a maximum of 2%
from the main breaker or fuse panel to the outdoor unit.
Consult the NEC, CEC, and all local codes to determine the
