Electrical Needs
The WhisperKOOL System requires a dedicated 110-volt 20-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount
of amps at initial start up. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has
enough power to run effectively. Contact your electrician for installationof this dedicated electrical
circuit.
Electrical Outlet
The unit is equipped with two electrical outlets, one for installation inside the cellar and the other for
installation outside the cellar. The outlet on the inside is covered and has been secured with screws.
Regardless of which side is utilized, the other outlet must then be covered in order to avoid a live elec-
trical charge.
XLT units, built after June 2007, come equipped with a 3-position ON/OFF power switch. The upper po-
sition activates power from the cellar side outlet located on the side of unit. The bottom position activates
power from the rear position outlet. The center position is OFF and is simply used when the owner does
not need to utilize the equipment.
Purchase a surge protector or power conditioner to plug your WhisperKOOL unit into. As with any sen-
sitive electrical equipment, the WhisperKOOL unit’s circuitry may be damaged by power surges and
spikes. Power surges and spikes are not covered by the WhisperKOOL warranty.
Do not use a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) with this product. The cooling unit will
draw more amperage than the GFI will allow.
Upon plugging the unit in and turning it on, there will be a five minute delay before
the unit starts. This is based on the function of the thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Sizing Unit to Room
The specification chart will provide information on the unit’s room size cooling capacity. There are cir-
cumstances in which a cellar design may require a larger unit due to some existing design restrictions.
In such a case, we recommend that the customer consider purchasing a unit with a larger capacity to
compensate for the design limitations. Issues such as glass doors, concrete walls and floors may seem
adequate but do not offer the insulation capacity required to maintain the optimum environment.
