Installing the Unit Outdoors
The Wine Guardian is NOT designed nor approved for direct outdoor installation. If it is located
outdoors, it MUST be protected with a rain-proof enclosure.
✓
Mount it above the ground on a solid, waterproof base to protect the unit from
ground water.
✓
Do not locate it where grass clippings or leaves can blow into the unit.
✓
Keep the area around the unit clean and free of debris.
✓
Protect from damage when the unit is located in a garage or unheated shed. In
both cases, the unit MUST have the Extreme Climate Protection built into the unit.
✓
Double insulating ducts with exterior grade insulation is recommended to keep the
ducts dry and effective. Wine Guardian suggests installing one, sized flexible duct
inside the next larger size duct where ductwork is exposed.
✓
Allow enough space at both ends of the unit to remove ductwork and allow access
for service.
