Repairing paint damage

Check once or twice a year for paint damage. This may occur, especially in salty environments (near oceans, etc.) or where rust is a problem. If needed, touch up with a good grade enamel paint.

NOTE: To reduce paint damage during the winter, install a heavy-duty cover on your air conditioner’s cabinet. For information on ordering a heavy-duty cover see page 26.
