45°F and 95°F. Except for the 1800XTSX cooling unit, they are designed for internal use only, and are not designed for exposure to the exterior. CellarPro cooling units do not have heating elements, so if temperatures inside the or outside the cellar drop below proper wine storage temperatures, the cooling unit cannot create heat inside the cellar.

cellar. Please note: The R-values above are the MINIMUM recommended amounts of insulation. It is advisable to use as much insulation as possible inside your walls, ceiling and floor. It is critical that all walls, joints, doors and windows, electrical outlets and/or switches, pipes, vents and light fixtures be sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering the cellar.
CellarPro cooling units must always be mounted in the upright position and located as close to the ceiling as possible inside the cellar. As warm air rises to the top of the cellar, the cooling unit pulls the warm air through the evaporator coils and removes the heat from the warm air.

Alternatively, the front of the cooling unit can be supported by a shelf and a diagonal brace. The shelf can be up to 13.25” inches wide, and should be positioned on the right side of the cooling unit so that it doesn’t restrict the exhaust vent below the cooling unit, as follows:...

Proper ventilation is critically important for the proper operation of your CellarPro cooling unit. The CellarPro cooling unit blows a significant amount of hot air through the top or the rear of the cooling unit, and the hot air must be exhausted into a space that is at least as large as the wine cellar in order for the heat to properly dissipate.

Page 13
With our duct kit, CellarPro 1800 cooling units can be ducted up to 50 equivalent feet per duct. When calculating equivalent feet, each 90 degree turn in the ducting approximately equals 8’ of ducting. Be sure to use gradual turns to avoid restricting airflow inside the ducting.

Summary Keep in mind the following guidelines before purchasing a wine cooling unit from CellarPro: If the cellar it too large for the cooling unit, and/or if the cellar does not have adequate insulation, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain proper temperatures throughout the cellar.
5. Place a heavy towel or blanket on top of the wine rack for protection. 6. IF YOU HAVE A LE CACHE MODEL 2400 WITH A CENTER POST: Remove the center post by unscrewing the screws (two at the top and two at the bottom) that attach the post to the wine cabinet.
