When we get done with the Monte and put it to rest for any amount of time we clean the refrig out well, dry it out as much as possible and then get some of the old newspapers that would be going into recycle and crumble them up and stuff them into both the refrigerator space and the freezer. We close the doors and when we come back to the unit we remove the newspaper, turn the frig on and put about three or four bottles of water in both the refrigerator part and the freezer. This lets the frig cool down and have something to cool also. For some reason if you don't put something into the unit to cool, it seems to take longer for the unit to cool down before putting the supplies in it. We also cool as many items as possible before putting them into the frig/freezer to lessen the cooling/working time of the frig. We also put a container of baking soda in the frig to absorb any possible food odors. All this works for us and have never had a problem with mold or mildew.
