6.
Place a protective cloth on the interior front carpet under the evaporator housing and duct. Start the engine, letting it run at idle. As the engine idles
with the heater controls set as instructed, hot air recirculates over the evaporator raising the temperature of the evaporator, causing moisture to
evaporate faster. The open windows allow the moisture to escape without losing much heat. You may see "fog" clouding the windows. After the
fog disappears continue the operation for another 5 minutes. If the fog does not appear, continue with engine idling and the heater controls set for
another 30 minutes.
