Power up my Cary tube integrated?

I have a Cary integrated tube amp in storage (SLI something). Is it wise to leave it alone, or wiser to play it for a few hours every month?

Once every three at most.. once a year at worst will be sufficient. Sya split it and fire it up every six months and all will be well. A year is no problem.. two years maybe...
