FAN SPEED Fan speed selection is determined by the amount of heat that needs to be removed from the cellar and the type of installation (through-the-wall or fully ducted). Fan speed selection is based on the cellar size, insulation factor, door seal, and desired wine temperature.
Insulation Insulation is REQUIRED in order to properly use WhisperKOOL products. It is vital that all walls and ceilings be insulated to keep the cellar temperature as consistent as possible during the summer and winter months. Standard fiberglass or rigid foam insulation is normally used in cellar construction;...

NOTE: Do not attempt to mount the unit in a wall recess or attempt to camouflage or cover the unit with any sort of aftermarket grille, accessory, etc. This can restrict airflow, prevent the unit from working properly, and void the warranty. Please feel free to call WhisperKOOL Customer Service with any questions or concerns regarding installation requirements. Door and Door Seal An exterior-grade (13/4”) door must be installed as a cellar door.

In some cases, it may be advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate heat from within the exhaust area. However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit requires ducting, please contact WhisperKOOL to obtain a specially designed ducting plenum for the unit.
PREPARING THE UNIT FOR INSTALLATION The WhisperKOOL Unit requires a dedicated 115V, 20-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount of amps during its initial startup. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has enough power to run effectively. Contact an electrician for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit.
Make sure that the internal height remains at 16 inches (3500ti & 5000ti) or 22.75 inches (8000 ti) so that the WhisperKOOL unit will fit snugly through the framed cut-out. www.whisperkool.com | Page 13...

Non-Flush Installation Install the unit according to the standard through-the-wall procedure. After the unit is installed, place the exterior grille over the exhaust side filter grille and align the screw holes on the sides of the unit.
4. Use the supplied 1/2" pan-head screws to fasten the grille and bracket to the unit ensuring the bracket stays perpendicular/ square. 5. Continue through-the-wall installation. You are required to use the 1/2” hex-head screws provided. Do not drill holes into unit. Non-Flush Installation Flush Installation www.whisperkool.com | Page 15...

LIQUID-MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM (BOTTLE PROBE) WhisperKOOL cooling units come with a liquid-temperature-measuring thermostat. The self-calibrating bottle probe contains a sensor which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy. Wine should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will operate 75–80% of the time.
