Page 20: Performing A Pre-Installation Check
Locating the System Wine Guardian systems are typically installed at the users eye level for ease of operation. The Through- the-Wall system discharges warm air from its condenser end so this should be considered when deter- mining the location for the system. Locating the system adjacent to a mechanical room or in close proximity to an exterior wall may be required if ducting the warm condenser air is being considered. - Page 21 Preparing wall penetration for Installation Sleeve. Mark the penetration dimensions on the wall (wine cellar and finished basement side) at the desired mounting location for the Wine Guardian Through- the-Wall system. Keep in mind the ideal height should be at eye level to the user. The unit controls should be reachable upon installation completion.
- Page 22 Slide the Wine Guardian Through-the-Wall system through the EasyMount sleeve to the desired depth.lease note the Through-the-Wall system must be slid so that the power cord side is last, not first, to enter the sleeve. Do not slide the system past the desired flush mounting point.

Page 23: Installing The Condensate Overflow
Installing the Condensate Overflow Condensate generation is a natural by-product of air conditioning systems. The Wine Guardian cooling coils are designed with the understanding that optimal wine cellar humidity levels are between 55% RH and 70%RH. If the vapor barrier of the wine cellar is poorly constructed or excessive moisture is in the basement or surrounding area then the cooling coil may generate excessive amounts of moisture. -

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD The electrical outlet and wiring installation must meet the national and local building codes. √ Match the electrical outlet to the plug 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. -
Page 25: Electrical Plug Configuration
Electrical Plug Configuration To comply with the UL STD 484 this system contains a factory supplied LCDI (leakage current detection interruptor) power cord, which specifies that single phase portable air conditioning units contain a porotection device to reduce the risk of an arc fault occuring in the power cord. These provide a reliable way to prevent the risk of fire due to a damaged power cord. -
