Engine cleaning

I am going to clean my engine compartment is there anything I should avoid with the hose. And should I have it running when I spray it
down. Thanks in advance for any help.

I would like to know this as well.

Im sure you wash with engine off. I believe you should cover fuse box as well.

Engine off. Cover alternator (optional IMO) and any open air filters. I also cover the fuse box.

Use light water pressure and don't spray directly on electrical or sensitive components. Just mist around.
