Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be over-
stated. 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 the area or room and adversely affect the unit’s ability to cool. In some cases, it may be ad-
visable 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 WhisperKOOL Customer Service
to obtain a specially designed ducting accessory kit for the unit. Using any other ducting system will void the
warranty.
Ambient Temperature Factor
The cooling system has the ability to cool a wine cellar efficiently to 55°F as long as the ambient temperature of
the area that it is exhausting to does not exceed 110°F. Therefore, you want to exhaust the unit in a room which
will not exceed 110°F. Otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.
