Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be
overstated. As the unit operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side
of the unit. Adequate ventilation is required in order to dissipate heat away from the unit. If ventilation
is inadequate, the exhaust will heat up and adversely affect the unit’s ability to cool. In some cases,
it may be advisable to install a vent fan to dissipate heat within the exhaust area on the backside of
the unit. However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well. If your unit requires ducting, please contact
WhisperKOOL Customer Service to obtain a specially designed ducting accessory kit for the XLT unit
(see page 29). Using any other ducting system voids warranty.
Ambient Temperature Factor
The cooling system has the ability to cool a maximum of 30°F below the ambient temperature in the
room it is exhausting to. Therefore you want to exhaust the unit in a room which will not exceed 85°F.
Otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F
