To install the WhisperKOOL 2500 Wine Cabinet Cooling System, please follow these steps:
1. Read the WhisperKOOL Owner's Manual: Before starting the installation process, it is important to read the WhisperKOOL Owner's Manual thoroughly. The manual provides detailed instructions and guidelines for the proper installation, use, and maintenance of the cooling system.
2. Choose a suitable location: Select a location for the cooling system that is inside a controlled environment with temperatures ranging between 60°-85°F. Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or near any heat sources. The rear of the unit should be placed about 2" from the wall, and there should be about 12" of clearance above the top of the unit and 6" of free space on each side to ensure proper dissipation of heat.
3. Ensure proper ventilation: The cooling system requires adequate ventilation to operate correctly. If your cabinet is not equipped with a front vent, the unit must be placed in an open room. Do not install the unit in a cabinet. Avoid placing anything on top of the cabinet to avoid disrupting ventilation.
4. Connect the liquid measuring thermometer: Install the liquid measuring thermometer by filling an empty wine bottle with room temperature water and securely inserting the bottle probe into the bottle. Place the bottle with the probe into a level rack space, avoiding pulling too much on the probe cord. The liquid measuring thermometer allows the system to monitor the temperature of the wine accurately.
5. Power supply: Ensure that you have a dedicated 20 amp circuit for optimum operation. Tripped breakers and deficient performance may occur if other devices are pulling power from the same circuit. Do not use a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) with this product as the cooling unit will draw more amperage than the GFI will allow. It is recommended to plug the unit into a surge protector or power conditioner to protect it from power surges and spikes.
6. Initial start-up: It is mandatory that you do not plug in or start your new WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit for 24 hours after its delivery. This allows the compressor oil to settle back into the reservoir if the unit was placed on its side during shipping. Starting the unit before the oil has settled can cause damage to the compressor. After the 24-hour period, turn on the unit and ensure that the temperature is cooling down properly.
If you have any further questions or need assistance during the installation process, you can contact WhisperKOOL Customer Service at 1-800-343-9463 or via email at info@whisperkool.com. They will be able to provide additional guidance and support.
