INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer: 
 
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a Wine Guardian
®
Humidifier. We believe it to be
the best wine cellar humidifier on the market and hope that you will agree. 
 
This guide is intended to help the installer and owner of the Wine Guardian Humidifier to 
properly install and maintain the equipment. In order to ensure optimal performance, the 
equipment should be installed properly and have proper care and maintenance. Please read this 
guide carefully, especially the safety instructions, and keep it for future reference. 
 
Receiving, Unpacking and Inspection
This Wine Guardian Humidifier is shipped in a cardboard box. Each humidifier and humidistat is 
factory assembled and tested prior to shipment. There are two models of the Wine Guardian 
humidifier. The stand-alone model (see Figure 4.0) is supplied with its own grille, wall bracket 
and transformer and is intended to be mounted separately and independently of the cooling unit. 
The basic or integrated humidifier is intended to be mounted on a Wine Guardian cooling unit 
(see Figure 5.0) and is supplied with an adapter. 
 
Upon receipt and before opening the container, inspect the packing crates or boxes for obvious 
signs of damage or mishandling. Write any discrepancy or visual damage on the bill of lading 
before signing. 
 
Find the packing slip and check for completeness of contents. Make sure it is the correct model 
you ordered, including factory options and accessories. 
 
Your Wine Guardian Humidifier has a humidistat that gets wired to the terminal strip on the 
Wine Guardian unit and a drain line that requires piping to an open floor drain or condensate 
pump. Inspect all equipment for any sign of damage or loose parts caused during transit. 
Immediately report all visual or concealed damage to the carrier and file a claim. 
 
 
NOTE: If this procedure is not followed, the shipping company may reject the claim and 
the consignee may suffer the loss. Do not return the shipment to the factory.
