CellarPro cooling units are designed to be installed THROUGH THE WALL, with ample
open space on the sides and rear of the cooling unit. A hole should be cut 1/4 inch
larger than the dimensions (W x H) of the cooling unit. Horizontal 2 x 4 inch braces
should be installed between the studs below and above the cooling unit. If the studs
in the wall must be cut to accommodate the width of the cooling unit, vertical braces
also should be installed on either side of the cooling unit.
CellarPro cooling units must always be mounted in the upright position, and tilted
slightly to the rear so that excess condensate flows to the rear of the cooling unit.
Inside the cellar, the front of the cooling unit catches warm air as it rises, pulls the air
across the evaporator coils, and removes the heat from the warm air. Once cooled,
the cold air is discharged from the bottom of the cooling unit and circulates downward
through the cellar. A minimum of 8" of the front of the cooling unit must be protruding
inside the cellar, so that airflow (intake and exhaust) can occur as designed, unless
the unit is installed directly above the cellar and is installed together with our front
intake hood.
The front of the cooling unit requires a minimum of 3 inches of clearance inside the
cellar, and the bottom of the cooling unit requires clearance of 8 inches below the cold
air discharge.
Outside the cellar, the rear of the cooling unit should be flush with the outside wall –
ie the cooling unit should not be recessed in the wall unless the unit is installed with
our duct kit. The rear of the cooling unit must be installed in an open space that is at
least as large as the wine cellar (unless the rear intake and exhaust are ducted). Do
not install the unit in a corner, because ample space is required to the sides and rear
of the cooling unit in order for the unit's hot air exhaust to dissipate without being
recycled into its fresh-air intake.
