QUICK START GUIDE

This guide is meant to serve as a quick reference for installation of the WhisperKOOL unit. The remainder of this Owner’s Manual will provide more detailed information and instructions.

Upon receiving the WhisperKOOL unit:

1.Inspect the unit before installation. If damage is found, please contact your distributor or WhisperKOOL Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext 799.

2.The unit should remain in an upright position for 24 hours prior to operation.

3.The WhisperKOOL unit requires a dedicated 110-volt20-amp circuit (or 220-volt depending on the unit). Use a surge protector with the WhisperKOOL unit. Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line.

4.For your convenience, the Whisperkool unit has two power sockets, one on the side of the unit and the other on the back. Both sockets come covered. Remove the cover from only the desired power socket in order to plug the unit in.

5.The unit is designed to gently cool down the temperature of the cellar over time by cycling cooler and cooler air throughout. Test the unit prior to installation. With power off, attach the “by-pass plug” (included in accessory bag) to the open plug located on the unit, where the PDT thermostat will need to be installed. Operate unit for twenty minutes. While the unit is running and working properly, the air discharged from the front should be 10 - 15°F cooler than the air in the room. This means that in an environment where the air is 80°F, the unit will discharge air that is 65-70°F.

6.After testing, remove the “by-pass plug,” mount unit to desired location, and install the PDT thermostat into the plug. Upon plugging the unit in and turning it on , there will be a five (5) minute delay on initial start up of the unit.

7.In areas of high humidity, put the condensate evaporator switch to the “ON” position. It is also required to install the drain line to remove excess condensation from the unit.

8.The WhisperKOOL unit is intended for use in properly designed and constructed wine cellars. Hire a professional wine storage consultant with a valid contractor’s license to build your wine cellar. Refer to the “How to Build a Wine Cellar” video available on the Whisperkool website at www.whisperkool.com.

9.Install the foam strips along the inside edge of the unit’s flange to assure a proper seal against the wall.

Never try to open the WhisperKool unit, repair it yourself, or use a service company without WhisperKool’s authorization. This will void your warranty.

If you encounter a problem with your WhisperKool unit, please refer to the Troubleshooting Checklist on pages 24-28. If you have any further questions, concerns, or need assistance, please contact WhisperKool Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext. 799. Please be sure all testing has been completed prior to contacting Customer Service. Please have your results ready for your representative.
