Electrical Needs
The Slimline system requires a dedicated 115V, 15-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount of amps during its
initial startup. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee that the unit has enough power to run
effectively. Contact an electrician for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit:
•
Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the WhisperKOOL unit.
•
Provide a dedicated circuit and wiring for the unit.
Electrical Outlet
The accessory kit includes an 8-foot power cord which is connected to the power inlet on the side of the unit. Plug
your WhisperKOOL unit into a surge protector or power conditioner. Power surges and spikes can damage sensitive
electrical equipment. WhisperKOOL recommends plugging the unit into a surge protector or power conditioner in
order to protect your system. As outlined in our terms and conditions, power surges and spikes are not covered under
warranty.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT.
NOTE:
GFI’s will often nuisance trip with certain types of loads. For example, compressor motors will trip
on GFI even though there is no leakage to ground.
Test Preparation Procedure
1.
Remove unit from box
2.
Place unit on tabletop
3.
Plug unit into an electrical outlet
4.
Plug in bottle sensor
5.
Turn on to test (temperature differential should be 10°F across coils)
6.
Turn off after test
7.
Remove bottle probe
Testing the Unit
Place the WhisperKOOL system on a tabletop to prepare it for installation and testing. Plug the unit into a live electrical
outlet and turn it on. The unit may take up to 10 to 15 minutes before running cool. Once the operation has been
tested, turn the unit off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Units weigh 81 pounds and are cumbersome for one person to carry. We recommend that you get someone else to
help you during the installation process. NEVER LAY UNIT ON ITS SIDE.
If the system does not seem to be running cool after 15 minutes, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page
22.
