Page 13: Preparing The Wine Cellar
CM SERIES PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR The performance and life of your system is contingent upon the steps you take in preparing the wine cellar. Improp- erly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your unit may cause unit failure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects.
Page 14 Unobstructed Airflow Unobstructed airflow to and from the system is critical for the system’s overall performance and lifespan. A minimum of 3 feet of clearance around the unit is crucial (5 feet is ideal). The air blown by the fans needs to circulate and either dissipate or absorb heat from the space.
Page 15 CM SERIES Ventilation The necessity of dissipating heat away from the condensing unit is critical to the system’s performance and cannot be overstated. As the system operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the condensing side of the system.
Page 16: System Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION The cooling system is equipped with the hardware needed to support a 24-volt air conditioning thermostat (not included). Initial Start-Up Set the thermostat to COOL and fan switch to AUTO. Lower the set point to the desired cellar temperature. (A temperature of 55°F is the recommended set point.) See thermostat instructions for details.
