SYSTEM OPERATION (WHISPERKOOL 2500) CONT.
Ambient Temperature
The cooling system in the cabinet has the ability to cool a maximum of 20°F below the ambient temperature
in the room. The optimal temperature for wine storage is 55°F, make sure that the temperature of the room in
which the cabinet will be placed does not exceed 75°F.
To ensure a consistent temperature, make sure the room temperature does not dip below 55°F.
Ventilation
The cabinet must have adequate ventilation to allow the exhaust side of the cooling unit to operate correctly.
As the unit cools on the inside, condensing refrigerant creates heat, which will need to dissipate away from
the unit on the outside. Some units have an exhaust fan mounted on top of the cabinet, which forces air away
from the unit vertically. In order to avoid disrupting the ventilation, do not place anything on top of the
cabinet.
Do Not Place Anything On Top of the Cabinet.
WhisperKOOL 2500 Cooling System:
• If your cabinet is not equipped with a front vent, the unit must be placed in an open room.
• Do not install in a cabinet
• The rear of the unit should be placed about 2” from the wall.
• There should be about 12” of clearance above the top of the unit and 6” of free space on each side. This will
assure proper dissipation of heat and sustained cooling of your wines.
