Location Of Supply And Return Grilles; General Duct Recommendation - Wine Guardian Sentinel Series Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Avoid crimping the flexible ducts. This chokes down the inside area and reduces the airflow
Be sure all ducts and surface in contact with the airflow are insulated
NOTE: Uninsulated ducts and surfaces cause bare exposed metal surfaces to
sweat,
further degradation of the insulation and a loss of equipment cooling capacity.

Location of Supply and Return Grilles

Locate the supply and return grilles inside the cellar to create an airflow pattern that maximizes
air circulation in the room. Avoid short circulating of the air.
Do Not:

Install the return air grilles directly on the floor as the grilles will collect dust from
the floor.

Locate the supply or return air grille where it is blocked by bottles, boxes or cases.

Locate the supply air grille where it blows directly on the thermostat.
Relocating a grille on the Wine Guardian
1)
Remove the fasteners from the grille.
2)
Remove the fasteners from the access door panel to be replaced by the grille.
3)
Relocate the outlet grille to its new location and secure in place using its fasteners.
4)
Replace the access door panel where grille was located.

General Duct Recommendation

✓ Support the flexible duct often to prevent sags or bends.
✓ Stretch the duct to make for a smoother interior with less air resistance.
✓ For a 90-degree bend, insert a metal elbow inside the flexible duct to avoid crimping.
✓ Do not squeeze or reduce the inside diameter of the ducts. This restricts the
airflow.
✓ Use short and straight ductwork.
✓ Review the configuration schematic on the Overview Sketch on page 12 for
information about which panels are available for duct connections and service.
✓ Remove the panels or grilles from the openings to connect the ductwork.
