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.
It is important to wait 24 hours before turning on the cooling unit to protect the
internal components of the cooling system. After first turning on the cooling unit, we
recommend that you run the cooling unit for 12-24 hours before loading any wine
inside the cellar.
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.

Temperature Control
Temperature inside the cellar can be increased or decreased by changing the
Minimum Set Point as described in the “Basic Operation” section above. If the
cooling unit runs too much, you should raise the Minimum Set Point to reduce the
cycle “on” time. Most wine collectors store their wine in the range of 55 - 60
°
F.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain optimal temperatures for
storage
and aging
of wine. CellarPro cooling units are not designed to maintain cellars at
much colder
serving
temperatures.
•
Humidity Control
CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain appropriate levels of humidity,
ranging from 50 to 70 percent, inside wine cellars. Relative humidity conditions
depend on several factors, including:
o
Ambient humidity: The higher the ambient humidity, the higher the
humidity will be inside the cellar
o
Fon Setting: By increasing the Fon setting, humidity can be increased
inside the cellar. The recommended range for the Fon setting is 0-6.
In order to increase or decrease humidity inside the cellar, the Fon setting can be
changed as described in the “Advanced Settings” section above.
