    CSA/ETL – Canadian Standard Association/Electric Testing Laboratory CE – Certificate of European conformity Exhaust Air – The air leaving the evaporator or condenser section of the Wine Guardian unit. Evaporator (Cooling) Section / Coil – The Evaporator Section uses the cooling coil and the fan to remove heat from the air inside the wine cellar to the refrigerant, cooling the air and condensing moisture out of the air.

  • Page 6: Receiving, Inspecting And Unpacking The Wine Guardian System

    NOTE: Wine Guardian systems are factory assembled and tested prior to shipment. Wine Guardian systems are shipped individually in corrugated boxes specially designed to protect the equipment during shipment. ✓ Before opening the container, inspect the packing crates or boxes for obvious signs of damage or mishandling.
