Please do not cover the outside of your air conditioner unless you first remove the unit from the sleeve, clean it and dry the base pan.

FRIEDRICH Air Conditioners are designed to hold water in the base pan. If the air conditioner is covered, the water can not evaporate and mold and mildew will form.

If the air conditioner is installed per the instructions, you should not have problems with air coming in or around the unit.

Everything in the rear of the air conditioner is sealed so snow and rain cannot harm the air conditioner. FRIEDRICH Air Conditioning does not make covers for air conditioners because of the mold and mildew problem.
