This will dry out the condensate drippan. This will prevent growth of fungi that might cause the smell. Putting the setpoint at a reasonable value might also help as it prevents excessive condensate formation once the temperature is reached. Your service station should have desinfectant spray for this, part of summer airco treatment package. Theo apparently dilute TCP kills the bugs - spray it into the intakes with plant sprayer ... and heater on full for 15m should dry it all out ... bonne chance Dr D > is it supposed to smell ? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > just want some input before I go to the local dealer and make myself > look like a div' |
