Test the cooling unit to make sure it is working properly before
installing the cooling unit (refer to the instructions at the beginning of
the previous chapter.)
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.

III. Operating Instructions
Summary
Keep in mind the following guidelines before purchasing a wine cooling unit from
CellarPro:
If the cellar it too large for the cooling unit, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain proper,
even temperatures throughout the cellar.
Without proper insulation and an airtight environment, the cooling unit effectively will
become a de-humidifier and potentially will produce buckets of water.
The rear of the cooling unit must be installed in a space that is at least as large as the wine cellar
unless the rear intake and exhaust are ducted. Both the front and the rear of the cooling unit
require a minimum clearance of 8 inches.
Without access to cool air, either because of improper ventilation or environments that are too
hot, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain proper temperatures inside the cellar.
Under these conditions, the unit’s internal components may become damaged, the expected
useful life of the wine cooling unit may be adversely affected, and the product’s warranty may
become null and void.
