INSTALLATION
Electrical Needs
The WhisperKOOL System requires a dedicated
Electrical Outlet
The unit is equipped with two electrical outlets, one for installation inside the cellar and the other for installation outside the cellar. The outlet on the inside is covered and has been secured with screws. Regardless of which side is utilized, the other outlet must then be covered in order to avoid a live elec- trical charge.
XLT units, built after June 2007, come equipped with a
Purchase a surge protector or power conditioner to plug your WhisperKOOL unit into. As with any sen- sitive electrical equipment, the WhisperKOOL unit’s circuitry may be damaged by power surges and spikes. Power surges and spikes are not covered by the WhisperKOOL warranty.
Do not use a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) with this product. The cooling unit will draw more amperage than the GFI will allow.
Upon plugging the unit in and turning it on, there will be a five minute delay before the unit starts. This is based on the function of the thermostat.
Sizing Unit to Room
The specification chart will provide information on the unit’s room size cooling capacity. There are cir- cumstances in which a cellar design may require a larger unit due to some existing design restrictions. In such a case, we recommend that the customer consider purchasing a unit with a larger capacity to compensate for the design limitations. Issues such as glass doors, concrete walls and floors may seem adequate but do not offer the insulation capacity required to maintain the optimum environment.
