Unobstructed Airflow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is critical for the unit’s overall performance and life-span. A mini-
mum three-foot clearance (five foot is ideal) area is crucial. The air the fans blow needs to circulate and either dissi-
pate or absorb heat from the space, the more air to exchange the more efficient the system will operate.
Note:
Avoid attempting to camouflage the unit. This will restrict airflow and thus the unit’s ability to work efficiently.
Door and Door Seal
An exterior grade (1 3/4”) door must be installed as a cellar door. It is very important that weather stripping is at-
tached to all 4 sides of the doorjamb. A bottom “sweep” or threshold is also required. The door must have a very good
seal to keep the cool cellar air from escaping out of the cellar. One of the most common problems with cooling units
running continually is due to the door not sealing properly.
Mounting the Unit
The unit must be mounted within 18“ of the top of the room in order to achieve sufficient cooling. As the room cools
down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the CellarCool high in the room will create a consistently cool
environment by capturing the warm air and replacing it with cool air. Mounting the unit low in the room will result
in a temperature variation in the room due to the unit’s inability to draw warm air from the ceiling of the cellar to the
unit itself, and cold air settling to the floor.
