  • Page 9 Ultimate Series FAN SPEED Fan speed selection is determined by the amount of heat that needs to be removed from the cellar and the type of installation (through-the-wall or fully ducted). Fan speed selection is based on the cellar size, insulation factor, door seal, and desired wine temperature.
  • Page 10: Preparing The Wine Cellar

    PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR The performance and life of your system is contingent upon the steps you take in preparing the wine cellar. Improp- erly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your unit may cause unit failure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects.
  • Page 11 In cases where glass doors are used and the room size is close to the recommended unit size, the next larger size WhisperKOOL should be used. This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the lower insulation rating of glass.
  • Page 12 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.
  • Page 13: Preparing The Unit For Installation

    Ultimate Series PREPARING THE UNIT FOR INSTALLATION The CellarCool unit requires a dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount of amps during its initial startup. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has enough power to run effectively. Contact an electrician for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit.
  • Page 14: Preparing The Installation Location

    PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION Minimum Tools Needed: Level Hammer Screwdriver Locate the desired installation location (no more than 18 inches from the ceiling). Using a stud finder, locate the studs on either side of the center point and mark them with vertical lines.
  • Page 15 Ultimate Series PREPARING THE UNIT FOR INSTALLATION A sturdy single-piece mounting bracket is used to frame the installation location and secures the unit to the wall studs. The bracket has been designed to hold the unit at a two-degree (2°) angle.
  • Page 16: Optional Exterior Grille

    OPTIONAL EXTERIOR GRILLE The exterior grille is required on all installations where the exhaust side of the unit is exposed to the outdoors (i.e., rain and other adverse weather conditions). Non-Flush Installation Install the unit according to the standard through-the-wall procedure. After the unit is installed, place the exterior grille over the exhaust side filter grille and line up the screw holes on the top, bottom, and sides.
  • Page 17 Ultimate Series PRE-INSTALLATION WIRING 1. Remove the face plate by removing the four screws at each corner. 2. Insert a standard 18-5 thermostat wire through the small hole on the left side of the face plate as shown below, left.
  • Page 18: Installing The Unit

    INSTALLING THE UNIT Slide the unit from the outside wall into your wine cellar with the outer flange flush with the wall. Secure the flange to the wall us- ing the pre-drilled holes. The 13/4" screws should penetrate the studs as well as the upper and lower supports to provide adequate support for the CellarCool unit (see illustration).
  • Page 19: Ducting Overview

    Ultimate Series DUCTING OVERVIEW Use ductwork to connect the unit to the supply and return outlets in the wine cellar. Use only insulated ductwork to minimize cooling losses, prevent sweating, and reduce noise. Use ductwork on the condenser section to redirect or absorb sound, bring in outside air to the unit inlet, and/or exhaust the hot air.
