CONVERTED CLOSETS APPLICATIONS
The
BREEZAIRE WKC
series cooling units were designed and engineered for cabinets and credenzas. However if you
have looked at the
BREEZAIRE WK
series cooling unit and you feel the
WKC
series units will better serve your
application you must follow theses specifications:
F
This is a mechanical piece of equipment, it will make noise and produce heat on the warm side exterior grille
(Fig. 3). Remember, unit installation location is not only important inside the wine cellar, but just as important is
where the warm side exhaust air is being rejected.

INSTALLATION
Before installing the unit, inspect it again for any shipping damage. Test the unit by placing it in a room where the
temperature is above 65°F. Position the unit to allow cold air to flow from evaporator outlet. (See Fig. 1) Plug the unit's
electrical cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet of adequate capacity (see unit specification for unit electrical
requirements).
The thermostat has no "off" position; therefore it will begin to run within 5 minutes of being plugged in. Allow it to run for
a minimum of 15 minutes. There should be a flow of cool air from the lower evaporator outlet side (see Fig. 1) and warm
air should be flowing from the rear opening on the exterior grille side (see Fig. 3). If there is no airflow or no change in
temperature on either side, contact your dealer.
F
BREEZAIRE
units should
NOT
be installed in a fire rated wall without consulting your local building inspector
and building codes.
F
If your installation cannot be performed in accordance with these instructions contact your dealer.
F
The unit must be installed in the upright position and is not designed to have duct work on either the warm air or
cold air sides. Do not drill any holes into the cooling unit. It may damage the unit, promotes rust, and will void the
warranty. Do not install the unit so that its removal will be difficult or impossible. It may be necessary to
periodically remove the unit to clean the condenser coil.
F
The best location for the WKC series
cooling unit is six (6) inches from the ceiling,
mounted on a shelf (see above unit
specifications for weight of unit) and with no
obstruction for the evaporator cold air outlet
airflow (minimum 12 inches) and a minimum
of three (3) feet for the warm air discharge
from the exterior grille. (see Fig. 1, 2 and 3)
It is preferred that the unit is mounted as close
to equal distance from each end of the wall as
possible.
F
The area into which the unit exhausts must
be well ventilated. If not, the unit will be unable to reject the excessive moisture and heat resulting in
unsatisfactory performance.
