Wrap the motor, electrical control box,
and the compressor terminal box in
plastic film to make sure no water or
other liquid gets inside. Water or other
liquids could damage the insulation and
cause serious mechanical problems.
5. Clean and hose out the base, coils, and
condensate pans. Clean at least once a
year, or more often if the condenser coils
and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves,
insects, or algae. Also, clean if you detect
an odor coming from the air conditioner.
6. Remove plastic film from motor and
electrical parts.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours

time for all areas to dry thoroughly. The

tion does not hann the components.
