Electrical Needs
The WhisperKOOL System requires a dedicated 115-volt 15-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount of amps
at initial start up. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has enough power to
run effectively. Contact an electrician for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit:
1. Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the WhisperKOOL unit.
2. Provide a dedicated circuit and wiring for the unit.
Electrical Outlet
The unit is equipped with a twelve foot power cord located on the evaporator side of the unit. Plug your
WhisperKOOL unit into a surge protector or power conditioner. As with any sensitive electrical equipment, the
WhisperKOOL electrical equipment may be damaged by power surges and spikes. Power surges and spikes are
not covered in the WhisperKOOL warranty.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT.
TEST THE UNIT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
To prepare it for testing before installation in wall:
• Remove unit from box
• Place unit on tabletop
• Plug in unit to electrical outlet
• Plug in bottle sensor
• Turn on to test (Temperature differential should be 10°F across coils)
• Turn off after test
• Remove bottle sensor
Testing Unit - Place the WhisperKOOL system on a tabletop to prepare it for installation and testing. Plug sys-
tem into a live electrical outlet and turn unit on. The system may take up to 10 to 15 minutes before running
cool. Once the operation has been tested, turn the unit off, and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.*
Units weigh 50-70 pounds and are cumbersome for one person to carry. We recommend that you get some-
one else to help you during the installation process. NEVER LAY UNIT ON ITS SIDE.
* Note: If the system does not seem to be running cool after 15 minutes, please refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide on Page 19.
Locate the center of the wall upon which the unit will be installed. Using a stud finder, locate the studs on
either side of the center point, and mark them with vertical lines.
