QUICK START GUIDE
This guide is meant to serve as a quick reference for installation of the WhisperKOOL unit. The
remainder of this Owner’s Manual will provide more detailed information and instructions.
Upon receiving the WhisperKOOL unit:
1.
Inspect the unit before installation.
If damage is found, please contact your distributor or
WhisperKOOL Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext 799.
2. The unit should
remain in an upright position for 24 hours
prior to operation.
3. The WhisperKOOL unit
requires a dedicated 110-volt 20-amp circuit
(or 220-volt depending
on the unit). Use a surge protector with the WhisperKOOL unit.
Do not use a GFI
(Ground Fault
Interrupter) line.
4. For your convenience, the Whisperkool unit has two power sockets, one on the side of the unit and
the other on the back. Both sockets come covered.
Remove the cover from only the desired
power socket
in order to plug the unit in.
5. The unit is designed to gently cool down the temperature of the cellar over time by cycling cooler
and cooler air throughout.
Test the unit prior to installation.
With power off, attach the “by-pass
plug” (included in accessory bag) to the open plug located on the unit, where the PDT thermostat
will need to be installed. Operate unit for twenty minutes. While the unit is running and working
properly,
the air discharged from the front should be 10 - 15°F cooler than the air
in the room.
This means that in an environment where the air is 80°F, the unit will discharge air that is 65-70°F.
6. After testing, remove the “by-pass plug,” mount unit to desired location, and install the PDT
thermostat into the plug. Upon plugging the unit in and turning it on , there will be
a five (5)
minute delay on initial start up of the unit.
7.
In areas of high humidity, put the condensate evaporator switch to the “ON” position.
It is also
required to
install the drain line
to remove excess condensation from the unit.
8. The WhisperKOOL unit is intended
for use in properly designed and constructed wine cellars.
Hire a professional wine storage consultant with a valid contractor’s license to build your wine
cellar. Refer to the “How to Build a Wine Cellar” video available on the Whisperkool website at
www.whisperkool.com.
9. Install the foam strips along the inside edge of the unit’s flange to assure a proper seal against the wall.
Never try to open the WhisperKool unit, repair it yourself, or use a service company without
WhisperKool’s authorization. This will void your warranty.
If you encounter a problem with your WhisperKool unit, please refer to the Troubleshooting
Checklist on pages 24-28. If you have any further questions, concerns, or need assistance, please
contact WhisperKool Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext. 799. Please be sure all testing has
been completed prior to contacting Customer Service. Please have your results ready for your
representative.
