This chokes down the inside area and reduces the airflow, causing the unit to operate erratically.
Check that all the fan blades move freely. Check for loose foreign objects in any of the air paths. Connect the round flexible ducts to the Wine Guardian using the duct collars provided with the duct accessory kit.
Empty the bucket periodically. The Wine Guardian unit is provided with a built-in drain trap. The drain trap creates a water seal to prevent air from backing up into the drain pan and causing the drain pan to overflow. Do not create secondary traps in the external drain line.
The electrical outlet and wiring installation must meet the national and local building codes Match the electrical wiring to the cord provided on the Wine Guardian. Provide dedicated circuit and wiring for the system. Match the wiring and breaker size to the rated load as shown on the serial plate and in this guide.
Installing the Condensing Unit • Condensing units are factory assembled with an aluminum outdoor enclosure for protection from the elements. • A minimum of 12 inches (30cm) is required around the perimeter of the condensing unit for proper airflow across the coil, and to provide an adequate discharge airflow path. Any obstructions to this airflow will result in a decrease in performance, and possibly premature failure due to a buildup of high pressure within the system.
