QUICK START GUIDE
This guide is meant to serve as a quick reference for installation of the WhisperKOOL unit. The remainder of this
Owner’s Manual will provide more detailed information and instructions.
Upon receiving the WhisperKOOL unit:
1. Inspect the unit before installation. If damage is found, please contact your distributor or WhisperKOOL
Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext 799.
2. The unit should remain in an upright position for 24 hours prior to operation.
3. The WhisperKOOL unit requires a dedicated 115-volt 20-amp circuit. Use a surge protector with the
WhisperKOOL unit. Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line.
4. For your convenience, the WhisperKOOL unit has two power inlets, one on the side of the unit and the other on the
back. Use the selector switch, located on the right side of the unit, to select the inlet you would like to use.
5. The unit is designed to gently cool down the temperature of the cellar over time by cycling cooler and cooler air
throughout. Test the unit prior to installation. Operate unit for twenty minutes. While the unit is running and
working properly, the air discharged from the front should be 10 - 15°F cooler than the air in the room. This
means that in an environment where the air is 80°F, the unit will discharge air that is 65-70°F.
6. It is REQUIRED to install a drain line to remove condensation from the unit.
7. The WhisperKOOL unit is intended for use in properly designed and constructed wine cellars. Hire a
professional wine storage consultant with a valid contractor’s license to build your wine cellar. Refer to the “How to
Build a Wine Cellar” video available on the WhisperKOOL website at www.whisperkool.com.
8. Install the foam strips along the inside edge of the unit’s flange to assure a proper seal against the wall.
Never try to open the WhisperKOOL unit, repair it yourself, or use a service company
without WhisperKOOL’s authorization. This will void your warranty.
If you encounter a problem with your WhisperKOOL unit, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 36.
If you have any further questions, concerns, or need assistance, please contact WhisperKOOL Customer Service at
1.800.343.9463 ext. 799. Please be sure all testing has been completed prior to contacting Customer Service. Please
have your results ready for your representative.
