  • Page 6: 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. It is highly recommended that you obtain the assistance of a wine storage professional.
  • Page 7 PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR, CONTINUED Unobstructed Airflow Unobstructed airflow to and from the system is critical for the evaporator unit and condensing units overall performance and lifespan. A minimum of 3 feet of clearance (5 feet is ideal) on all sides is crucial. The air the fans blow needs to circulate and either dissipate or absorb heat from the space.

  • Page 8: Receiving & Inspecting The System

    RECEIVING & INSPECTING THE SYSTEM Upon receiving your CellarCool unit: NOTE: CellarCool units are manufactured in the USA and tested prior to shipment. Use caution when lifting and check the package for damage. Lift only at the designated hand-hold locations on the shipping container, or fully support the unit from underneath. A shipment may include one or more boxes containing accessories.
