Mounting the Unit
The unit must be mounted within 18“ of the top of the room in order to achieve sufficient cooling. As the room cools down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the WhisperKOOL high in the room will create a consistently cool environment by capturing the warm air and replacing it with cool air. Mounting the unit low in the room will result in a temperature variation in the room due to the unit’s inability to draw warm air from the ceiling of the cellar to the unit itself, and cold air settling to the floor.

Unobstructed Airflow
Unobstructed airflow too and from the unit is critical for the unit’s overall performance and
Note: Avoid attempting to camouflage the unit. This will restrict airflow and thus the unit’s ability to work efficiently.
Door and Door Seal
An exterior grade (1 3/4”) door must be installed as a cellar door. It is very important that weather stripping is at- tached to all 4 sides of the doorjamb. A bottom “sweep” or threshold is also required. The door must have a very good seal to keep the cool cellar air from escaping out of the cellar. One of the most common problems with cooling units running continually is due to the door not sealing properly. In cases where glass doors are used and the room size is close to the recommended unit size, the next larger size WhisperKOOL should be used. This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the lower insu- lating rating of glass.
