Installing the Unit Outdoors

The Wine Guardian is NOT designed nor approved for direct outdoor installation. If it is located
outdoors, it MUST be protected with a rain proof enclosure.
• Mount it above the ground on a solid, waterproof base to protect the unit from ground
water.
• Do not locate it where grass clippings or leaves can blow into the unit.
• Keep the area around the unit clean and free of debris.
• Protect from damage when the unit is located in a garage or unheated shed. In both
cases, the unit MUST have the low ambient controls built into the unit.
• Double insulating ducts with exterior grade insulation is recommended to keep the
ducts dry and effective. Wine Guardian suggests installing one sized flexible duct
inside the next larger size duct where ductwork is exposed.
• Allow enough space at both ends of the unit to remove the grilles or ductwork and
allow access to the filters.
