Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL Extreme Series cooling unit. We strive to provide the highest quality prod- ucts and the best possible customer service. If you have any questions about your WhisperKOOL unit, please call us at 1(800) 343-9463.
Insulation Foam (4 strips) Please leave the WhisperKOOL unit in its original box until you are ready for installation. This will allow you to move the product safely without damaging it. When you are ready to remove the product from the box, refer to page 13 for installation instructions.
PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR The performance and life of your WhisperKOOL unit are contingent upon the steps you take in preparing the wine cellar. Note: Improperly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your WhisperKOOL unit may cause unit fail- ure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects.
In cases where glass doors are used and the room size is close to the recom- mended unit size, the next larger size WhisperKOOL should be used. This will compensate for the insula- tion loss due to the inefficient door.

However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit requires ducting, please contact WhisperKOOL Customer Service to obtain a spe- cially designed ducting accessory kit for the unit. Using any other ducting system will void the warranty.

(exterior side). When placed in either position, power will come from that outlet only. Plug your WhisperKOOL unit into a surge protector or power conditioner.

The screws should penetrate the studs as well as the upper and lower supports to provide adequate support for the WhisperKOOL system (see illustration). Seal all cracks and gaps around the WhisperKOOL Extreme unit with an air-tight sealant or caulking to prevent air leakage.

Condensation Drain Line Tube The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It is important that the drain line tube is properly connected and used to prevent leakage and other problems associated with excess condensation.
• For a non-flush installation (i.e. holes location #1 WhisperKOOL retrofit or #2 Middle Wall), place the grille on the condenser end and line up the holes on the grille with the holes on unit location #3. Use the 10 screws provided to fasten the grille to the unit.
• Keep air paths free of loose foreign objects and debris. • Connect the round flexible ducts to the WhisperKOOL unit using the duct collars provided with the duct accessory kit. • Pull the outer plastic wrapping and insulation away from the end of the duct to expose the reinforced inside duct liner.
