Placement of Unit
Slide the unit from either the inside or outside wall into your wine cellar with the outer
flange flush to the wall. You will need to reverse the mounting flange depending on
inside or outside use. Secure the flange to the wall through the pre-drilled holes. The
screws should penetrate the studs as well as the upper and lower supports to provide
adequate support for the WhisperKOOL Extreme System (see illustration). Seal all cracks
and gaps around the WhisperKOOL Extreme unit with an air tight sealant or caulking to
prevent air leakage.
Note:
If you use decorative molding, it should be attached to the walls and never to the
cooling unit itself.
Location of Supply and Return Grilles
Locate the supply and return grilles inside the cellar to create an airflow pattern that
maximizes air circulation in the room. Avoid short circulation of the air.
Do not:
9 Install through-the-wall return air grilles at floor level, as they will collect dust
from the floor.
9 Mount the unit lower than 18” from the top of the room.
9 Locate the supply or return air grille where it is blocked by bottles, boxes or
cases.
