IV. Operating Instructions
Overview
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.
Temperature Control
CellarPro cooling units are designed to turn “on” when the air temperature passing over
the evaporator coils inside the cellar exceeds the
Minimum Set Point plus the
Temperature Differential, and turn “off” when the temperature drops below the
Minimum Set Point . For example, if the Minimum Set Point is 58°F and the
Temperature Differential is 4°F, the cooling unit will turn on when the
temperature rises above 62°F inside the cellar, and it will turn off when the
temperature falls below 58°F. In this example, the average temperature inside the
cellar will be 60°F.
Basic Operation
The cooling system is programmed with a startup delay to protect its internal
components. From the factory, the startup delay is 3 minutes. Upon installation, we
provide instructions for the installer to change the delay to 30 minutes.
The temperature inside the cellar can be increased or decreased by changing the
Minimum Set Point as described later in this chapter. If the cooling unit runs too
much, you can raise the Minimum Set Point to reduce the cycle “on” time. Most wine
collectors store their wine in the range of 55 - 60°F.
