Overview
Please follow the instructions in Section I prior to turning on your CellarPro cooling unit.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain optimal conditions for wine storage
and aging. These conditions include steady, cool temperatures, high humidity, minimal
vibration and light, and clean air.
The settings on your CellarPro cooling unit have been preset and optimized by the
factory. Before changing any settings below, we recommend waiting 14 days to allow
the cooling unit to “break in.”
The cooling unit is designed to cool the cellar gently without stripping moisture out of
the cellar environment. Therefore, it is not uncommon for the cooling unit to run
nonstop for up to a week initially, depending on the temperature inside the cellar, the
size of the cellar, and the temperature of the ambient environment. Once the cellar
has reached equilibrium, it is normal for the cooling unit to run as much as 75 percent
of the time.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain optimal temperatures for
storing and
aging
fine wine. CellarPro cooling units are not designed to maintain temperatures for
serving
wine, which tend to be much colder than storage temperatures, especially
serving temperatures for white and sparkling wines.
CellarPro cooling units must be used, stored, moved and/or shipped in the upright
position. Be careful when turning the unit on its side. The unit NEVER should be turned
upside down.
Remote Thermostat
Our remote thermostat will override the cooling unit’s internal thermostat, and can be
used to measure air or liquid temperatures inside the wine cellar. If measuring air,
place the thermostat in the cellar in a location with good airflow. If measuring liquid, fill
a bottle with mixture of water (80-90%) and rubbing alcohol (10-20%), insert the probe
into the bottle and use the rubber stopper on the thermostat to seal the bottle, and place
the bottle inside the cellar in a location with good airflow. If the bottle probe is used to
measure air temperatures, the differential (HY) on the cooling unit should be set to “4”.
If the bottle probe is used to measure liquid temperature, the differential should be set
to “1”. Refer to our “Advanced Operation” instructions for further instructions how to
change the HY differential.
