NORMAL OPERATION
WhisperKOOL systems are designed to maintain both
temperature and humidity. Once the system is installed and the
temperature set, it will run continuously until the wine cellar
is at your set wine temperature. This may be as much as two
weeks, depending on the size of the room, the quality (R-value)
of insulation, the original temperature of the wine, and the
number of bottles residing in the cellar. Once the cellar has
achieved the set temperature, the WhisperKOOL unit will cycle
to maintain ±0.5°F of your set temperature.
The WhisperKOOL system will run more often than a
refrigerator or air conditioner, due to its gentle cooling
and humidity maintenance.
People often make the mistake of comparing the performance
of refrigerators with the performance and cycling of wine
storage equipment. Wine cellar cooling systems are highly
specialized and designed for one purpose only–long term
storage of wine.
Maintenance
The following maintenance should be performed on your
WhisperKOOL unit at least once every six months to promote
longevity and optimal performance.
Vacuum the back of the WhisperKOOL unit to clean the
condenser coils and prevent air blockage. The condenser coils
reside behind the grill on the back of the WhisperKOOL unit.
Don’t try to open the unit itself. Just vacuum the surface of the
grill and remove any lint or dust that has accumulated.
Humidity Control
There are no separate switches in order to maintain humidity.
The cooling unit is designed to maintain relative humidity at
50-70%.
The WhisperKOOL units do not create humidity. If you live in a
dry area of the country you many need to create humidity in the
wine cellar. This can be done by introducing a non-heat
humidifier, or installing a small fountain within the cellar.
