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
into the cellar. It is important to follow the cellar construction guidelines provided on page 5
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 with proper ventilation.
• Humidity Control: There are no separate controls for maintaining proper humidity.
Humidity is managed through the design and engineering of the unit. 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 dissipate excess condensations.
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 below 55°F. 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.
