SYSTEM OPERATION (ADVANCED QT & WHISPERKOOL 1200)
Condensate evaporator switch
The QT’s condensate evaporator is a heating element that evaporates excess condensate that accumulates in
the cooling system as a byproduct of refrigeration.
Vinothèque units are equipped with sophisticated heating elements that automatically sense the presence of
water and work until the water is gone.
—
“On”
: Turning the condensate evaporator on causes the heating element to operate whenever water is
present in the compressor pan.
—
“Off”
: If your wine cellar is located in a dry climate, there is a good chance that the unit will not accumulate
excessive water. Therefore, save electricity by switching the condensate evaporator to the
“Off”
position.
Temperature equalizer
The temperature equalizer switch controls the fan, which is mounted on top of the evaporator plate. It is de-
signed to keep air moving throughout the cabinet in order to maintain consistent temperature between its
upper and lower half.
—
“Auto”
: During normal operation, set the switch to the “Auto” position. The fan will operate whenever the
cooling system is running.
—
“Continuous”
: This feature runs the fan continuously, similar to WHM (see pg. 10)
—
“Off”
: Shuts off the fan for noise reduction.
Do not become overly concerned about air emperature variations. Remember, the unit measures liquid tem-
perature, not air temperature. The unit will operate when the liquid temperature varies.
