    INTRODUCTION Customer Service Thank you for purchasing a CellarCool cooling system. We strive to provide the highest-quality products and the best possible customer service. If you have any questions about your system, please call us at 1-800-343-9463 or visit cellarcool.com.
  • Page 6: Quick Start Guide

    CellarCool units utilize a solenoid valve on the liquid line and a low-pressure switch on the suction line. When the thermostat calls for cooling, the solenoid valve opens, permitting the flow of refrigerant. The low-pressure switch then signals the compressor to cycle on.

    INSTALLING THE EVAPORATOR UNIT Remove the protective caps from the liquid and suction line connection tubes. Using copper tubing per line set sizing chart, route the liquid and suction lines to the tubing coming from the unit. Place a wet rag around the suction and liquid lines approximately 4” from the braze joints. This will prevent excess heat from damaging components.

  • Page 22: Drain Line

    Drain Line The CM Series evaporator unit features a drain line pump system that removes excessive condensate build up in the drain pan. During operation, the drain pan collects water that drips from the coil. The drain line pump system will prevent overflow and leaking by allowing for discharge of the additional condensate.
  • Page 23: Liquid-Measuring Thermostat (Bottle Probe)

    CM SERIES LIQUID-MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM (BOTTLE PROBE) CellarCool cooling units come with a liquid-temperature-measuring thermostat. The self-calibrating probe contains a sensor chip, which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy. Wine should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will operate 75–80% of the time.
