Evaporator Air Exhaust. Cold air is exhausted at the top front of the cooling unit. Because CellarPro cooling units are located at the highest point inside wine cellars, the cold air exhaust eventually will drop to the bottom of the cellar. To ensure proper...
To attach the evaporator to the wall, we provide the necessary hardware, which differs based on the unit purchased. Our 3000Sqc-EC and 4000Sqc-EC evaporators use side mounting brackets, Our 3000Shqc-EC and 40000Shqc-EC evaporators use wall hangers Specific instructions for each mounting method are as follow: ...

Evaporator Mounting Instructions – 3000Shqc-EC and 4000Shqc-EC A wall hanger, which attaches to the wall behind the evaporator, is provided to mount the evaporators to the wall inside the cellar. First, the wall bracket is attached to the wall, and then the evaporator slides onto the bracket. After the evaporator is installed, two bottom nuts must be installed on the recessed anchor studs.

Condensate Drain Line The condensate drain line should drop, then rise (but stay below the height of the fitting), and then drop again into an open drain. Then, fill the trap with water. The condensate trap will allow any excess moisture inside the Evaporator to overcome the static pressure and flow out of the drain line.
Page 17
Power Supply The Evaporator and Condensing units are separately powered with 8’ power cords and grounded plugs. No interconnecting wiring is needed between the Evaporator and Condensing unit. Evaporator Power: Plug in the Nema 5-15P plug to a shared or dedicated 15 amp receptacle Condensing Unit Power: ...
Page 19
The Evaporator, Condensing Unit, Liquid Line and Insulated Suction Line (together the Line Sets) are factory charged and shipped with R-134a refrigerant. The components must be installed together as a complete CellarPro system. Do not substitute components or use these components in a different split system. If any damage to the components occurs that causes a loss of refrigerant, only a qualified HVACR service technician certified to handle R-134a can perform the repairs.

5. Identify the insulated Suction line (marked BLUE on the female connector) and slide the 4” tube insulation sleeve over the Suction line on the side where it will connect to the evaporator. 6. Identify the male Suction line connection on the rear or optional left side of the evaporator (marked BLUE on the male connector), and attach the female Suction line connection to the male connection.
Page 21
7. Once the Suction line is attached to the evaporator, slide the 4” tube insulation sleeve so that it covers the metal connections that were just installed and one end is flush to the unit housing. Use two tie wraps to secure the insulation in place.

It is important to keep the drain line level or below the point where it exits the evaporator as it passes through the cutout. 3000Sqc-EC/4000Sqc-EC systems (rear connections only): Apply butyl tape around the perimeter of the wall cutout on the interior cellar wall.
Page 23
3000Shqc-EC/4000Shqc-EC systems (rear connections only): Attach adhesive backed insulation strips by removing the white backing and securing to the evaporator back panel. The foam should form a box around the connections as shown: Move the evaporator into position and secure to the interior cellar wall. DO NOT PLUG IN THE EVAPORATOR POWER CORD AT THIS TIME.

Identify the insulated Suction line (marked BLUE on the female connector). Identify the male Suction connection on the left side of the Condensing Unit (marked BLUE on the male connection) and attach the female Suction line connection to the male connection. STOP AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE ATTACHING BLUE TO BLUE.

Summary Keep in mind the following guidelines before purchasing a wine cooling unit from CellarPro: If the cellar is too large for the cooling unit, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain proper, even temperatures inside the cellar.
These conditions include steady, cool temperatures, high humidity, minimal vibration and light, and clean air. The settings on your CellarPro cooling unit have been preset and optimized by the factory. Before changing any settings below, we recommend waiting 14 days to allow the cooling unit to “break in.”...

“on” time. Most wine collectors store their wine in the range of 55 - 60°F. CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain appropriate levels of humidity, ranging from 50 to 70 percent, inside wine cellars. In order to increase or decrease humidity inside the cellar, the Fon setting can be changed as described in the “Advanced Operation”...

Energy Saver Button To activate and deactivate the “Energy Saver” mode, press the “Energy Saver” button. The “Energy Saver” indicator light will turn on when the cooling unit is in “Energy Saver” mode. In “Energy Saver” mode, the Minimum Set Point increases 4°F and the Temperature Differential is unchanged.
Page 31
Remote Control / Display Instructions Digital The temperature displayed Display on the control is red instead of blue. Set Button The cooling unit is factory preset with a Minimum Set Point 58°F Temperature Differential of 4°F. This means that the cooling unit will turn on when the display rises above 62°F (58°F + 4°F), and turn off when the display falls below 58°F.
Page 32
Advanced Operation CellarPro cooling systems can be programmed with advanced settings to achieve more control over conditions inside the cellar. Conditions like humidity, the Temperature Differential, and alarm settings all can be modified for custom applications. To access the advanced settings, do the following: Press the “Set”...
V I . V I . T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g Improper installation, inadequate insulation, or a cellar that is too large will cause the cooling unit to run continuously and be difficult to troubleshoot. The cooling unit is designed to turn on when the air temperature in the cellar rises ABOVE the Minimum Set Point + Temperature Differential, and turn off when the air temperature falls below the Minimum Set Point.
