Insulation Insulation is REQUIRED with the use of the CellarCool product. Standard fiberglass or rigid foam insulation is nor- mally used in cellar construction or, in some cases, “blown-in” insulation is used. It is very important that all walls and ceilings are insulated to keep the cellar temperature as consistent as possible during the summer and winter months.
In cases where glass doors are used and the room size is close to the recommended system size, the next larger size CellarCool system should be used. This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the lower insulating rating of glass.
PREPARING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION Horizontal Mount Minimum Tools Needed Level 5/32” Drill Bit Screwdriver & Drill Locate the desired installation location (no lower than 18” inches from the ceiling). Using a stud finder locate the center of two studs. Using a level and a pencil, mark a vertical center line down each stud and a perpendicular line through both of the center lines, no less than 1 1/2”...
Install the evaporator unit by aligning the center vertical key hole with the screw on the wall. Place unit on the screw and tighten down. Note: The screws should be installed with about 1/16” between the wall and screw head www.cellarcool.com | Page 11...

HORIZONTAL MOUNT INSTALLATION Secure the unit by installing another screw into the left pilot hole after aligning it with the left vertical key hole.
