Ventilation

The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be overstated. As the unit operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit. Adequate ventilation is required in order to dissipate heat away from the unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will heat up and adversely affect the unit’s ability to cool. In some cases, it may be advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate heat within the exhaust area on the backside of the unit. However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit requires ducting, please contact Vinothèque Wine Cellars Customer Service to obtain a specially designed ducting accessory kit for the XLT unit. Using any other ducting system voids warranty.

Ambient Temperature Factor

The cooling system has the ability to cool a maximum of 30°F below the ambient temperature in the room it is exhausting to. Therefore you want to exhaust the unit in a room which will not exceed 85°F. Otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.

Unobstructed Airflow

Unobstructed airflow to and from the unit is a critical factor in the unit’s overall performance. Make sure there is a minimum three-foot horizontal clearance from the rear of the unit as well as a minimum three foot clearance in front of the evaporator fans. This will assure that the unit can move the air around in an efficient manner.
