Page 26: Locating The Unit
Locating the Unit Wine Guardian units are typically installed indoors located near the cellar to minimize the duct runs. Each unit is provided with one entering or return air inlet and three possible supply air outlets for each of the evaporator and condenser sections. A maximum cumulative total length for both supply and return ducts (including bends) of 25’... -
Page 27: Installing The Unit Outdoors
Review the mounting illustrations on pages 32 and 33 before mounting the unit. Floor Mounting Mount the Wine Guardian on the floor but elevate it on a 2" x 4" frame with a plywood surface to keep it away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain. -
Page 28: Ceiling Mounting
Construct a structurally sound, level platform to place the unit on when hanging it from the ceiling joists. The Wine Guardian is NOT designed to be suspended from the top of the unit. Place the unit on a platform to ensure that the unit is supported on all for corners. Leave ad- equate space on the top of the unit to remove the access doors for service. -

Page 33: Installing The Ductwork
Installing the Ductwork Use ductwork to connect the unit to the supply and return outlets in the wine cellar. Use only insulated ductwork to minimize cooling loses, prevent sweating, and to reduce noise. Use ductwork on the condenser section to redirect or absorb sound, to bring in outside air to the unit inlet, and/or to exhaust the hot air out of the ambient space. -
Page 34: General Duct Recommendation
√ Check that all the fan blades move freely. √ Check for loose foreign objects in any of the air paths. √ Connect the round flexible ducts to the Wine Guardian using the duct collars provided with the duct accessory kit. -
Page 35: Using Ductwork
Using Ductwork Cold Air to/from Wine Cellar √ Remove supply air grille or access door panels to install ductwork between the Wine Guardian unit and the cellar. √ Connect the supply air ductwork from the cellar to the Supply air outlets at the Wine Guardian Unit. -

Starting-up and Operating the Wine Guardian Now that the installation is complete, it’s time to start the unit up. Check to make sure all ductwork and electrical connections are secure. Replace all panels which were removed during installation. Check that all of the openings in the unit are covered with either a blank panel, a ductwork connection or a grille. -
Page 42: Cycling The Unit
Changing the Air Flow Direction The grilles furnished with Wine Guardian are single directional. Rotate the grilles to change the direction of the air flow. When using multiple supply ductwork balance the air flow between the ductwork. If too much air flows though one duct but not enough air flows from the other duct, install a damper or other restriction into the duct with too much air. -

The Wine Guardian is designed for minimum maintenance. The refrigerant system is hermeti- cally sealed and requires no maintenance. The fans are permanently lubricated and require no... -
Page 44: Cleaning The Filters
Cleaning the Filters The evaporator and condenser coils are provided with reusable, washable air filters. The filters protect the coils from becoming coated or plugged by dust. Frequency of cleaning the filters is based on the amount of dust or dirt generated in the cellar or basement. 1. -
Page 45: Heating Coil Option
Heating Coil Option It is located between the evaporator coil and blower inside the transition duct. It contains the heating element and high temperature limit switches. The heating coil is wired to work in con- junction with the thermostat. Since the thermostat prevents the heating and cooling circuits from being energized at the same time, no additional power wiring is needed. - Page 46 √ Clean condensate pan under the evaporator coil by flushing. Be careful to keep the drain pans clear of any and all debris. √ Inspect cabinet for corrosion or rusting – clean and paint √ Inspect for dirt buildup on or inside the unit. Clean unit by vacuuming or wiping it down.
