Unobstructed Airflow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is critical to the unit’s overall performance and lifespan. Make sure there is a
minimum of three (3) feet of horizontal clearance in every direction around the unit (five feet is ideal). The air blown by
the fans needs to circulate and either dissipate or absorb heat from the space. The system will operate more efficiently with a
greater amount of air to exchange.
NOTE: Do not attempt to mount the unit in a wall recess or attempt to camouflage or cover the unit with any sort of aftermarket
grille, accessory, etc. This can restrict airflow, prevent the unit from working properly, and void the warranty. Please feel free to call
WhisperKOOL Customer Service with any questions or concerns regarding installation requirements.
Door and Door Seal
An exterior-grade (13/4”) door must be installed as a cellar door. It is very important that weather stripping be attached to all four
sides of the doorjamb. A bottom “sweep” or threshold is also required. The door must have a very good seal to keep the cool cel-
lar air from escaping out of the cellar. If the door does not seal properly, the unit will run continuously.
Mounting the Unit
The unit must be mounted within 18 inches of the ceiling in order to achieve sufficient cooling. As the room cools down, the
warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the unit high in the room will create a consistently cool environment by capturing the
warm air and replacing it with cool air. Mounting the unit low in the room will result in a temperature variation in the room due
to (a) the unit’s inability to draw warm air down from the ceiling and (b) cold air settling to the floor.
