INTRODUCTION Customer Service Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL cooling unit. We strive to provide the highest quality products and the best possible customer service. If you have any questions about your WhisperKOOL unit, please call us at 1(800) 343-9463 or visit whisperkool.com.
Connection “T” (1) Please leave the WhisperKOOL unit in its original box until you are ready for installation. This will allow you to move the product safely without damaging it. When you are ready to remove the product from the box, refer to the installa- tion instructions.
Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line. 4. For your convenience, the WhisperKOOL unit has two power inlets, one on the side of the unit and the other on the back. Use the selector switch, located on the right side of the unit, to select the inlet you would like to use.
Insulation Insulation is REQUIRED with the use of the WhisperKOOL product. Standard fiberglass or rigid foam insulation is nor- mally used in cellar construction or, in some cases, “blown-in” insulation is used. It is very important that all walls and ceilings are insulated to keep the cellar temperature as consistent as possible during the summer and winter months.

In cases where glass doors are used and the room size is close to the recommended unit size, the next larger size WhisperKOOL should be used. This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the lower insu- lating rating of glass.

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. Using any other ducting system will void the warranty.
Electrical Needs The WhisperKOOL Unit requires a dedicated 115-volt 20-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount of amps at initial start up. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has enough power to run effec- tively.
Using two 2x4s at 14.5” in length and eight 6d nails, secure the upper and lower supports to the right and left studs, just inside the sheetrock. Make sure that the internal height remains at 16” (1600/3000/4200) or 22.25” (6000/8000) so that the WhisperKOOL unit will fit snugly through the framed cut-out. Page 11...

The 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 Whis- perKOOL unit with an air-tight sealant or caulking to prevent air leakage.
DRAIN LINE Condensation Drain Line Tube The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge location. It is important that the drain line tube is properly connected and used to prevent leakage and other problems associ- ated with excess condensation.
LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM The WhisperKOOL Series cooling units come equipped with a liquid temperature measuring thermostat system. This system incorporates the following advantages: Self-Calibrating Probe The probe contains a sensor chip, which actually communicates back and forth to the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy.
Set Point: condenser probe temperatures can all be access by pushing The set point is set from the factory (WhisperKool) at 55°. It the set button and scrolling through PB1 (bottle probe), PB2 can be adjusted by the customer between 50° and 70° in (evaporator probe), and PB3 (condenser probe).
