NORMAL OPERATION

WhisperKOOL systems are designed to maintain both temperature and humidity. Once the system is installed and the temperature set, it will run continuously until the wine cellar is at your set wine temperature. This may be as much as three weeks, depending on the size of the room, the quality (R-value) of insulation, the original temperature of the wine, and the number of bottles residing in the cellar. Once the cellar has achieved the set temperature, the WhisperKOOL unit will cycle to maintain ±0.5°F of your set temperature.

The WhisperKOOL system will run more often than a refrigerator or air conditioner, due to its gentle cooling and humidity maintenance.

People often make the mistake of comparing the performance of refrigerators with the performance and cycling of wine storage equipment. Wine cellar cooling systems are highly specialized and designed for one purpose only–long term storage of wine.

Maintenance

The following maintenance should be performed on your WhisperKOOL unit at least once every six months to promote longevity and optimal performance.

Vacuum the back and front of the WhisperKOOL unit to clean the coils and prevent air blockage. The condenser coils reside behind the grill on the back of the WhisperKOOLunit. Don’t try to open the unit itself. Just vacuum the surface of the grill and remove any lint or dust that has accumulated.

Humidity Control

There are no separate switches in order to maintain humidity. The cooling unit is designed to maintain relative humidity at 50-70%.

The WhisperKOOL units do not create humidity. If you live in a dry area of the country you many need to create humidity in the wine cellar. This can be done by introducing a non-heat humidifier, or installing a small fountain within the cellar.
