MAINTAINING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER
If the air conditioner will not be used for an extended period of time, dry the air conditioner to maintain it in best

Dry the air conditioner thoroughly by operating in Fan mode for 3 to 4
hours and disconnect the power plug. There may be internal damage if
moisture is left in components.
