    CSA/ETL – Canadian Standard Association/Electric Testing Laboratory Exhaust Air – The air leaving the evaporator or condenser section of the Wine Guardian unit. Evaporator (Cooling) Section / Coil – The Evaporator Section uses the cooling coil and the fan to remove heat from the air inside the wine cellar to the refrigerant, cooling the air and condensing moisture out of the air.

  • Page 7: Receiving, Inspecting And Unpacking The Wine Guardian Unit

    Receiving, Inspecting and Unpacking the Wine Guardian Unit Receiving and Inspecting the Unit NOTE: Wine Guardian units are factory assembled and tested prior to shipment. Wine Guardian units are shipped in individual corrugated boxes. ✓ Lift at the designated handhold locations only or fully support from underneath.

  • Page 8: General Description

    Each section contains a coil to add or remove heat and a fan to move the air through the coil and into or out of the cellar or adjacent space. The Wine Guardian cooling systems are designed to be used as a remotely mounted unit with external ductwork connections.

  • Page 60: Cycling The Unit

    Changing the Air Flow Direction The grilles furnished with Wine Guardian are single directional. Rotate the grilles to change the direction of the air flow. When using multiple supply ductwork, balance the air flow between the ductwork. If too much air flows though one duct but not enough air flows from the other duct, install a damper or other restriction into the duct with too much air.

  • Page 61: Maintenance

    RISK OF SEROUS INJURY Sharp edges are present on the fan wheels, housing, fins and coils. Maintenance on Wine Guardian units requires working with high voltage and sheet metal with possible sharp edges. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance. Some tasks require knowledge of mechanical and electrical methods.

  • Page 62: Cleaning The Filters

    Cleaning the Filters The condenser coil is provided with a reusable, washable air filter. The filter protects the coil from becoming coated or plugged by dust. Frequency of cleaning the filters is based on the amount of dust or dirt generated in the cellar or basement. Remove the duct collar on the inlet end of the unit.

  • Page 63: Cleaning The Humidifier (Optional)

    Cleaning the Humidifier (optional) f the unit was furnished with a humidifier, it requires periodic maintenance. Follow the instructions in the humidifier guide. All Wine Temperatures (AWT) The heating coil is located between the evaporator coil and blower inside the transition duct. It contains the heating element and high temperature limit switches.

  • Page 64: Maintenance Schedule

    Maintenance Schedule Monthly (or quarterly depending on experience with individual cellar) ✓ Check filter and drain trap – clean if needed. ✓ Check for noise or vibration. ✓ Check for short-cycling of the unit – a turning on and off of the compressor unit more than eight times/hour.
