WARNING
If you apply too deep of a vacuum, any trapped moisture might freeze and might not be exhausted as
vapor.
Failure to remove all of the moisture can create acids in the refrigerant circuit. This may damage
internal system components over time causing premature failures of items such as oil pump motors
and any other devices sensitive to acid contact.
