Mounting the Unit

RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT
Check supporting structure for load bearing capacity to support the Wine Guardian.
All supports must be designed to meet applicable local codes and ordinances.
If in doubt, consult a qualified architect, engineer or contractor.
NOTE: Review the mounting illustrations on page 43 before mounting the unit.

Floor Mounting

Mount the Wine Guardian on the floor but elevate it on frame with a plywood surface to keep it
away from water. Allow adequate space for the external drain.

Wall Mounting

If the unit is mounted through the wall, adequately support it on both sides of the wall. Use floor or
knee braces to transfer the load of the unit to the floor or wall.

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; it must be
supported from the bottom. Place the unit on a platform to ensure that the unit is supported on all
for corners. Leave adequate space on the top of the unit to remove the access doors for service.
In all cases the unit must be level to within plus or minus one-quarter inch end-to-end and plus or
minus one-eighth inch side-to-side for proper operation. Locate the unit as close to the wine cellar
as possible to reduce the length of the duct runs. If possible, use short and straight ducting on all
ductwork. The addition of quarter-inch thick rubber pads helps prevent the transmission of
vibration and noise.

Installing the Condensate Drain Connection

The Wine Guardian unit provides dehumidification for the inside of the wine cellar. It cools the air
down to the dew point corresponding to the temperature set point of the thermostat. If the vapor
barrier of the wine cellar is poorly constructed or excess moisture is in the basement, the unit has to
remove excessive amounts of moisture from the wine cellar. The moisture appears in the condensate
drain of the unit.
NOTE: If moisture becomes excessive, install a room type dehumidifier to
dehumidify the basement so as to not overload your Wine
