How Does the WhisperKOOL Extreme Series Work? The WhisperKOOL unit is especially designed to maintain optimal conditions for wine storage and aging. The unit is fully self- contained and can be installed through most walls. The unit is also capable of a more flexible ducted application, which allows the unit to be placed in an indoor remote site, resulting in a quiet airflow.

PREPARING THE UNIT FOR INSTALLATION The WhisperKOOL Unit requires a dedicated 240V, 15-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 406 mm (3500ti & 5000ti) or 578 mm (8000 ti) so that the WhisperKOOL unit will fit snugly through the framed cut-out. EXtiR 011824...

OPTIONAL EXTERIOR GRILLE The exterior grille is required on all installations where the exhaust side of the unit is exposed to the outdoors (i.e., rain and other adverse weather conditions). 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.
The 44 mm screws should penetrate the studs as well as the upper and lower supports to provide adequate support for the WhisperKOOL unit (see illustration). Seal all cracks and gaps around the WhisperKOOL Extreme unit with an air-tight sealant or caulking to prevent air leakage.
DUCTING OVERVIEW Use ductwork to connect the unit to the supply and return outlets in the wine cellar. Use only insulated ductwork to minimize cooling losses, prevent sweating, and reduce noise. Use ductwork on the condenser section to redirect or absorb sound, bring in outside air to the unit inlet, and/or exhaust the hot air.

INSTALLING THE DUCT PLENUMS 1. Remove the filter grille from the unit by unscrewing the screws that hold it in place. 2. Move the ducting adapters into place. 3. Screw the ducting adapters into place using the supplied screws. www.whisperkool.com | Page 17...
CONDENSATION DRAIN LINE The condensation drain line tube is used to drain excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It is important that the drain line tube be properly connected in order to prevent leakage and other problems associated with excess condensation.
Extreme Series 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.
MULTI-SPEED FAN CONTROL Designed for wine cellars up to 35 and 56 cubic meters, the Extreme 3500ti, 5000ti, and 8000ti feature multi-speed fans. These fans have a high setting for maximum performance in high-temperature (+43°C) environments and a low setting for super-quiet operation.
NOTE: Cut hole in the location shown for routing the display cable. * The display can be mounted on any wall (inside or outside the wine cellar), up to 15 m from the cooling unit. www.whisperkool.com | Page 21...
