USING THE WHISPERKOOL SYSTEM

Power Switch

XLT units, built after June 2007, come equipped with a 3-position ON/OFF power switch. The upper position activates power from the cellar side outlet located on the side of unit. The bottom position activates power from the rear position outlet. The center position is OFF and is simply used when the owner does not need to utilize the equipment.

NOTE; (It will take five minutes before the unit begins to operate once the switch is placed in the “On” position. This is due to the designed safety delay in the PDT thermostat.)

Condensate Evaporator Switch

The Condensate Evaporator is a heating element that automatically evaporates excess condensate that accumulates in the cooling system as a by-product of refrigeration. Only the WhisperKOOL units are equipped with sophisticated heating elements that automatically sense the presence of water and work continually until the water is gone. Setting the Condensate Evaporator to the “On” setting causes the heating element and the right exhaust fan to stay on continuously to prevent excess condensation from building up in the unit.

WRONG: Drainline is under water.

Drain Line

All units come with a drain line for additional removal of excessive condensate. This is a back up system to the Condensate Evaporator. It is mandatory to install the drain line attachment. During operation, the cooling unit will strip excess water from the air in order to maintain the proper level of humidity within the cellar. The Condensate Evaporator will heat and dissipate the excess moisture through the rear of the unit. However in extreme humidity, additional condensate will be created. Conversely the high humidity air has less capacity to absorb additional moisture through the exhaust of the unit. Thus the drain line will prevent overflow and leaking by allowing for discharge of the additional condensate. WhisperKOOL carries a condensate pump kit, which allows the excess condensate to be pumped up to 20 ft. away from the unit. See page 29 for details.

Failure to install the drain line voids warranty.

To prevent mold from growing, allow the drainline to hang above the water line.
