If passive recovery is used on a small appliance fitted with a capillary tube as a metering device with a non-operating compressor, the recovery should be made through what means?

Correct Answer: Option A — recovery from both the high and low sides

Small appliances featuring restricted metering devices like capillary tubes require recovery from both high and low sides simultaneously. A non-operating compressor creates internal blockages, preventing complete evacuation if accessed from only one side.
