CellarPro cooling units are designed to be installed 

THROUGH THE WALL, with ample 

open space on the sides and rear of the cooling unit

.  

A hole should be cut 1/4 inch 

larger than the dimensions (W x H) of the cooling unit.  Horizontal 2 x 4 inch braces 
should be installed between the studs below and above the cooling unit.  If the studs 

in the wall must be cut to accommodate the width of the cooling unit, vertical braces 
also should be installed on either side of the cooling unit.   

CellarPro cooling units must always be mounted in the upright position, and tilted 
slightly to the rear so that excess condensate flows to the rear of the cooling unit.  

Inside the cellar, the front of the cooling unit catches warm air as it rises, pulls the air 
across the evaporator coils, and removes the heat from the warm air.  Once cooled, 
the cold air is discharged from the bottom of the cooling unit and circulates downward 
through the cellar.   A minimum of 8” of the front of the cooling unit must be protruding 

inside the cellar, so that airflow (intake and exhaust) can occur as designed, unless 
the unit is installed directly above the cellar and is installed together with our front 
intake hood. 

The 

front

 of the cooling unit requires a minimum of 3 inches of clearance inside the 

cellar, and the 

bottom

 of the cooling unit requires clearance of 8 inches below the cold 

air discharge. 

Outside the cellar, the rear of the cooling unit should be flush with the outside wall – 
ie the cooling unit should not be recessed in the wall unless the unit is installed with 

our duct kit.  The rear of the cooling unit must be installed in an open space that is at 
least as large as the wine cellar (unless the rear intake and exhaust are ducted). Do 
not install the unit in a corner, because ample space is required to the sides and rear 
of the cooling unit in order for the unit’s hot air exhaust to dissipate without being 

recycled into its fresh-air intake.
