PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
POWER SUPPLY:
This appliance must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
Do not use if power cord is damaged; it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or by a qualified
person to avoid a hazard. Plug must remain accessible after installation.
Electrical service must be a dedicated, separately fused and grounded 15 Amp, 115V line.
Do not share the circuit with any other appliance. If extension cord must be used, it must be rated for 15 Amps. Test line
voltage BEFORE operating, and do not use if line voltage is less than 105V. The unit must be protected against power surges
and spikes: use a good quality surge suppressor.
INSULATION
Floor, ceiling and all walls of the enclosure must be
insulated to minimum R-20 rating
, although R-30 is
recommended.
Best material is foil-backed urethane foam, sealed at
all joints with thermal tape.
Build a proper sub-floor with vapor barrier, and insulate
to at least R-20, especially if floor is concrete.
VAPOR BARRIER
All surfaces of the enclosure
must be protected by a proper
vapor barrier
, ideally on both
inside and outside of wine cellar.
SEAL
Seal corners, joints, gaps,
vents, electrical outlets and
switches, and
especially
around door and frame
.
Pack larger gaps with insula-
tion. Seal all with silicone
caulking.
Seal drywall with odorless
waterproof paint.
Koolspace chillR is the only unit that allows for isolating the studs against noise and vibration when installed as directed.
