Electrical Needs

 

The CellarCool Ultimate FM Unit requires a dedicated 115-volt 20-amp circuit

. The unit draws a large amount of 

amps at initial start up.  By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has enough power to 

run effectively.  Contact an electrician for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit:

• 

Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the CellarCool unit. 

• 

Provide a dedicated circuit and wiring for the unit. 

Plug your CellarCool unit into a surge protector or power conditioner.  As with any sensitive electrical equipment, 

the CellarCool electrical equipment may be damaged by power surges and spikes. Power surges and spikes are not 

covered under warranty. 

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT. 

Electrical Inlet

The unit is equipped with a power inlet which is located on the right side of the cooling unit and is labeled in the 

Quick Reference Guide on page 2. The power inlet is to be connected inside of the cellar.

In case the unit should lose power, check the home/main circuit breaker.  If the unit does not respond properly, refer 

to the Troubleshooting section.
