OPTIMUM SERIES
Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit's performance and cannot be overstated. As the unit
operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit. Adequate ventilation is required in
order to dissipate heat away from the unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will heat the area or room and adversely affect
the unit's ability to cool. In some cases, it may be advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate heat from within the exhaust area.
However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit requires ducting, please contact CellarCool to obtain a specially
designed ducting plenum for the unit.
Using any other ducting system will void the warranty.
NOTE: If you are unsure whether you have adequate ventilation in your install location, please
contact us to assess your specific installation at support@cellarcool.com or 1 (800) 343-9463.

Ambient Temperature Factor
The cooling unit has the ability to cool a wine cellar efficiently to 55°F as long as the intake air does not exceed 85°F. Therefore,
you want to exhaust the unit in a room which will not exceed 85°F. Without proper heat dissipation the unit will not have the
capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.
WARNING! Allowing your unit to operate in high ambient temperatures for extended
periods of time will greatly decrease the life of your unit and void your warranty.
