    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.
  • Page 10 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.
  • Page 11 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.
