Install the Protective Cover on AC Unit

What happens here

Once the protective cover is assembled, flip it over so the stapled side is facing downwards and the smooth plastic-covered side is facing upwards. Carefully place this cover directly onto the top of your outdoor AC unit. Ensure that the cover creates an overhang around all sides of the AC unit. This overhang is crucial as it directs falling snow and ice away from the sides and internal components of the unit. It is important to leave the sides of the AC unit exposed and not covered by the plastic sheet. This allows for essential ventilation and prevents moisture from being trapped inside, which can lead to corrosion or mildew. The cover's primary purpose is to stop snow from falling directly into the fan opening, not to completely encapsulate the unit.

Goal: Carefully place the prepared waterproof cover onto the top of the outdoor AC unit, ensuring the sides remain open for proper airflow and that the overhang diverts snow away from the unit.
