Planning the Installation

Addressing Items in the Planning Process

 Where to locate the unit? Should it be built into the wall or mounted remotely and
ducted into the cellar?
 How to mount the unit?
 Decide where to locate the supply and return grilles in the room to achieve the
temperature gradient and circulation preferred.
 Locate the electrical power outlet close to the unit, in cellar or out. Do not use an
extension cord!
 Does the condenser heat exhaust need to be ducted away?
 Where to locate the thermostat?
 Where to run the drain line?
 Are all the parts here to complete the installation?

Performing a Pre-installation Check

 Check for the proper installation of the electrical plug configuration.
 Check for the properly sized breaker.
 Is the cellar built with adequate insulation and vapor barriers?
 Are ducts installed above the ceiling or in accessible places properly sized before
being covered?
 Is enough space available around the unit for service and repair?

Locating the Unit

Wine Guardian units are typically installed indoors located near the cellar to minimize the duct runs.
Each unit is provided with one entering or return air inlet and three possible supply air outlets for
each of the evaporator and condenser sections. A maximum cumulative total length for both supply
and return ducts (including bends) of 25 feet is recommended. If longer runs are needed use more
than one supply opening to reduce the airflow in each duct by one half. See Recommended Flexible
Ductwork Sizing Chart on page 41.
Provide a three foot clearance around the unit for removal of grilles or ductwork, access to filters and
unit maintenance. If the humidifier is used, provide access space in front of it for service.
