Work to be performed every month

The visual checks should be performed even in case the air conditioner is not used. The air conditioner should moreover be switched on once a month for 10 to 15 minutes to prevent drying out and embrittlement of the shaft seal in the compressor with the risk of refrigerant leaking out of the unit. This measure also ensures regular lubrication of the compressor components.
