TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT
Remember, do not start or plug in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many units are placed on their sides during shipping,
which may allow compressor oil to escape their reservoirs. Premature starting before the oil has had a chance to resettle can
cause damage to the compressor and result in a lack of cooling.
Before you fill the cabinet with wine, you’ll want to check the operation of the unit. All cabinets successfully pass quality control
at the WhisperKOOL facility.
Periodically a unit’s cooling system is damaged in transport. Simply turn the unit on for about one hour and confirm that the
temperature is cooling down. This will prevent the inconvenience of stocking and restocking a damaged unit.
If the unit is not working correctly, contact WhisperKOOL’s Customer Service Department at [email protected].
We will work with you to diagnose the problem and promptly resolve it.
LOADING BOTTLES AND COOL DOWN PERIOD
Loading Bottles
The cabinet may settle slightly based on the weight of all the bottles. It is best to spread the loading of
bottles evenly throughout the cabinet, starting on the bottom first. This will prevent the unit from shifting and potentially
knocking the doors out of alignment.
Cool Down Period
When the time comes for you to begin loading wine bottles into your unit, there are some considerations to be made. The
cabinet should be loaded in stages. We recommend 1/4 of the cabinet per day. This will allow the unit to achieve more rapid
temperature stabilization. Loading all of the wine at once might overwhelm the cooling system.
During the cool down period, the system will run constantly, depending on the size of the collection. Slow cooling maintains
correct humidity within the cabinet.
