Now I know this should be done by a professional, but lets assume I don't want to pay a professional
I understand there are two ways to do this:
1. Bleed the system of refridgerant before disconnecting and removing.
This would involve turning on the unit, then turning off the high pressure pipe (the small one) until air from the unit is no longer cold. Then turning of mains power and disconnecting the pipes and removing the unit.
2. Turn off mains power, disconnect and remove, and be prepared for refridgerant seeping out of the unit.
This is the advice I've been given, so I wonder if anyone can corroberate, and/or advise of anything else to be careful of?
Note that I won't be keeping the unit so not interested in preserving it.
Thanks!
