Installation Instructions 

 

 

NOTES: 

  Do not install any ducts onto the supply, return, intake and exhaust. 

  Mounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included. 

  Because of potential safety hazards under a certain condition we strongly 

recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still select 
to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is a UL LISTED 3-
wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a 3-blade grounding 
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will plug into the appliance. The marked 
rating of the extension cord shall be 115 V, 15 A or equivalent for 
CT1500~2500ZD and 115 V, 20 A or equivalent for CT3500~8500ZD and not 
greater than 15ft in length. 

 

1. General Instructions 

 

  The cooling unit produces cooling supplied into the cellar, meanwhile it also 

generates heat that must be exhausted outside the cellar. So the cold- air 
supply with cellar-air return side and the hot-air exhaust with ambient-air 
intake side must be separated and sealed. Through-wall installations can 
separate these two sides.  

  Furthermore, the condenser of cooling unit must intake adequate fresh 

ambient-air to work properly. The ambient-air intake and hot-air exhaust must 
not be short-circulated. Both of them must remain unobstructed 36” clearance 
all around. The area into which the hot air is exhausted must be well 
ventilated. If it is not, heat generated by the unit will build up and the unit will 
not operate properly.  

  Additionally, cold-air supply from the front grille must remain unobstructed 36” 

clearance.  

  The ambient temperatures shall not be above and below what are specified

.
