4. 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. 7. Replace unit in the cabinet. 8. Replace the front panel. 9. Plug in the power cord. 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 the components.
