WhisperKool 17-1103 - Manual (Page 13)

-11-
Carefully remove your WhisperKOOL unit
from the box. Do not destroy your packing
material, as it provides the only safe
means of transporting the unit. Units
weigh 65–100 pounds and are
cumbersome for one person to carry. We
recommend that you get someone else to
help you during the installation process.
Testing Unit
Place the WhisperKOOL system on a
tabletop to prepare it for installation and
testing. Locate the by-pass plug and
insert it into the thermostat plug, located
on the front of the WhisperKOOL System.
Next, plug the system into a live electrical
outlet and turn the unit on. The system
should begin cooling. The system may
take up to 10 to 15 minutes before
running cool. Once the operation has
been tested, turn the unit off, unplug the
unit from the electrical outlet, remove the
by-pass plug, and install thermostat.
Note: If the system does not seem to be
running cool after 15 minutes, please
refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on
page 18.
Before installation, use the by-pass test plug
to test the unit.
Attach precut foam tape to the unit’s flange.

Test Plug
Applying Insulation Tape
Locate the four precut pieces of black
foam tape included with your system.
There should be two larger pieces and two
smaller pieces. Start with the large
pieces. Peel back the white-paper
adhesive covering, and attach the large
pieces to the sides of the unit flange. Then
follow with the two smaller pieces on the
top and bottom. This foam creates a tight
seal between the unit’s flange and the
wall (see illustration).
Note: Failure to install foam strips may
void the warranty.
