Wrap the motor, electrical control box, and
compressor terminal box in plastic film to
make sure no water or other liquid gets
inside. Water or other liquids could damage
insulation and cause serious mechanical
problems.
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. Do not use the collected
water for drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.

parts.
Replace unit in cabinet. Reattach top
channel and side curtains.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before
starting the unit again. This allows time for all
areas to dry thoroughly. The water from rainfall or
from normal operation does not harm these
components.
