Mounting the Unit
The unit must be mounted within 18 inches of the ceiling in order to achieve sufficient cooling. As the room cools down, the
warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the unit high in the room will create a consistently cool environment by capturing the
warm air and replacing it with cool air. Mounting the unit low in the room will result in a temperature variation in the room due
to (a) the unit's inability to draw warm air down from the ceiling and (b) cold air settling to the floor.

Unobstructed Airflow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is critical for the unit's overall performance and lifespan. Make sure there is a
minimum of three (3) feet of horizontal clearance in every direction around the unit (five feet is ideal). The air blown by the fans
needs to circulate and either dissipate or absorb heat from the space. The system will operate more efficiently with a greater
amount of air to exchange.
NOTE: Do not attempt to mount the unit in a wall recess or attempt to camouflage or cover the unit with any sort of aftermarket
grille, accessory, etc. This can restrict airflow, prevent the unit from working properly, and void the warranty. Please feel free to
call CellarCool Customer Service with any questions or concerns regarding installation requirements.
Door and Door Seal
An exterior-grade (13/4") door must be installed as a cellar door.
It is very important that weather stripping be attached to all
four sides of the doorjamb. A bottom "sweep" or threshold is
also required. The door must have a very good seal to keep
the cool cellar air from escaping out of the cellar. If the cellar
door does not seal properly, the unit will run continuously.
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.
