INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the WhisperKOOL® wine cellar temperature and humidity maintenance system.

Please take the time to read through the owner's manual so you understand the correct operations of the WhisperKOOL unit.

What Is the WhisperKOOL System?

The WhisperKOOL system is a specialized piece of equipment designed to absorb heat from a cellar and discharge it through the rear of the unit into an adjacent room. The unit will operate 75 to 80 percent of the time in order to maintain an ideal temperature and humidity in a wine cellar. Essentially, it will operate as needed to absorb the heat that naturally permeates the cellar. It is important to follow the cellar construction guides provided within in order to maximize effectiveness based on the quality of efficiency in the vapor barrier, therefore reduce the operating time of the cooling unit itself.

How Does the WhisperKOOL System Work?

•The WhisperKOOL system is designed to maintain humidity, while measuring and maintaining the wine temperature in the cellar. This is achieved by gently cooling rather than by quick-chilling.

•Temperature Setting: The WhisperKOOL unit can be set at any temperature within the acceptable wine-aging range of 50°F -to- 70°F. It is designed to cool 30°F cooler than the ambient temperature of the space it is exhausting to.

•Humidity Control: There are no separate controls for maintaining proper humidity. Humidity is managed through the design and engineering of the unit. As the temperature begins to drop within the wine cellar, the relative humidity will rise, while the absolute humidity will stay the same. For more information about this process, see Normal Operation on page 17.

All units come with a drain line for additional removal of excess condensate, as a back up system to the Condensate Evaporator which is used to maintain proper humidity. If the unit is installed in a high humidity area of the country, it is mandatory to install the drain line attachment for the unit to function effectively, preventing overflows and leaks from build up of condensate. Failure to install the drain line voids warranty.

•The WhisperKOOL system is designed to be mounted through an interior wall into the cellar. The unit will operate correctly in a controlled environment to properly manage the effective cooling of the cellar. The unit is not designed to withstand the elements of an outdoor climate where summer temperatures exceed 85 degrees or in winter environments where temperatures reach freezing. The components are not designed for these extreme conditions and premature failure may occur.

Note: Improperly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your WhisperKOOL system may cause unit failure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects. Protective housings can be purchased to prevent premature failure in cases where the unit is installed through an exterior wall.
