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 failure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects.
The unit should be mounted within 18“ of the top of the room in order to achieve sufficient cooling. As the room cools down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the WhisperKOOL high in the room will create a consistently cool environment by capturing the warm air and replacing it with cool air.
