    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.
  • Page 48: Maintenance

    RISK OF SEROUS INJURY Sharp edges are present on the fan wheels, housing, fins and coils. Maintenance on Wine Guardian units requires working with high voltage and sheet metal with possible sharp edges. Only qualified personnel should perform maintenance. Some tasks require knowledge of mechanical and electrical methods.
  • Page 49: Cleaning The Filters
