The BREEZAIRE WKL Series cooling units are designed to, when installed in a properly constructed enclosure, provide a
constant, selectable temperature between approximately 48°F and 63°F while reducing the excess relative humidity to the
proper 50% to 75%. BREEZAIRE cooling units are designed to lower the temperature, while removing only excessive
moisture. In a properly constructed enclosure this process can raise the relative humidity. The unit does not add moisture
to the enclosure. The unit does not include a heating system and will not warm the enclosure. The WKL Series is not
intended to cool service cabinets, which are maintained at lower temperatures and opened or entered frequently.
The WKL Model has a digital electronic (Sentry III) thermostat that adds additional safety and convenience features:
Large, easy to read, green LED display.
Accurate, easy to adjust (no tools needed), readable set points with continuous reading of enclosure temperature or
displaying of set point when changing enclosure temperatures.
Power outage protection, which delays unit start up after power outages.
Blocked airflow protection, which shuts down unit and protects wine in case of high temperatures caused by condenser
blockage.
Controls temperature by enclosure air sensors or optional bottle probe.
To use the below SIZING GUIDE, the enclosure to be cooled must be built to the following minimum specifications. If the
enclosure cannot be built to these minimum specifications, consult your BREEZAIRE dealer for assistance in choosing the
correct unit. BREEZAIRE cooling units are not warranted to cool a specific enclosure.
All walls, floors and ceilings should have a vapor barrier. This vapor barrier should be installed on the warm side of the
insulation. All interior walls and floors should be lined with a minimum of R-11 insulation and exterior walls and ceiling
insulation value should be a minimum of R-19. There should be no glass doors and/or windows.
All joints, door frames, electrical outlets or switches and any pipes or vents which go through the enclosure should be
sealed to prevent air and moisture leakage into the room. Concrete and brick are not insulation or moisture barriers.
Doors into the enclosure should be of minimum size, insulated to R-11 and be tightly sealed with a high quality
weather stripping. Be sure to seal the bottom of the door and behind the door frame's molding.
Enclosure lighting should be of low wattage, with a timer to insure lights are not left on when the enclosure is
unoccupied. Recessed lighting should not be used, as they will allow outside air to enter the enclosure.
If the ambient temperature surrounding the enclosure should exceed the desired cellar's temperature by more than
25°F, the unit will produce less than its stated BTUs. No enclosure wall should receive direct sunlight or strong wind.
This is a mechanical piece of equipment, it will make noise and produce heat on the warm side exterior condenser
grille (Fig. 3). Remember, unit installation location is not only important inside the wine cellar, but just as important is
where the warm side exhaust air is being rejected.
Note: Glass doors and/or windows are not included in our calculations and should not be used in a wine enclosure.
This guide to be used only for enclosures meeting the above construction requirements.

Note: All units are 115 Volt, 60 Hz.
Before installing the unit, inspect it again for any shipping damage. Test the unit by placing it in a room where the
temperature is above 65°F. Position the unit to allow cold air to flow from evaporator outlet. (See Fig. 1) Plug the unit's
electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet of adequate capacity (see unit specification for unit electrical
requirements).
The Sentry III has no "off" position; therefore it will begin to run within 5 minutes of being plugged in. Allow it to run for a
minimum of 15 minutes. There should be a flow of cool air from the evaporator side upper grille (see Fig. 1) and warm air
should be flowing from the upper opening on the warm air exhaust (condenser) grille (see Fig. 3). If there is no airflow or no
change in temperature on either side, contact your dealer.
