WARNING
The evaporator unit (fan coil unit) must be insulated using the insulation blanket provided in
accordance with this manual. Refer to the insulation blanket installation instructions.
Failure to follow the instructions provided will result in a poor vapor barrier, water
damage, rust, and system corrosion which will void the warranty on your unit.
The evaporator unit (fan coil unit) must be insulated using berglass insulation (R13 or higher)
in addition to the provided insulation blanket. This includes the cavity between the ceiling
joists. A warm attic environment will reduce the capacity of the cooling system, as the system
will absorb heat from the attic in addition to the heat load from the wine cellar. This, in eect,
will signicantly reduce the cooling system’s ability to cool the wine cellar.
Failure to properly insulate the evaporator unit may cause condensation to form on the
surface of the housing and water damage to the surrounding structure, the cooling unit, and
possibly the wine cellar.
To avoid these issues, install the insulation kit and insulate the surface of the evaporator unit
that is located outside of the wine cellar using berglass insulation.
*Additional insulation is required!

Using the Manual
This owner’s manual is intended to assist in the proper maintenance of the cooling system. In order to ensure the longevity of
your cooling unit, the equipment should be installed as outlined in the technician’s manual. It is also vital to establish a proper
care and maintenance schedule. Please read and review this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
What is the CellarCool Cooling System?
The CellarCool cooling system is a specialized refrigeration system designed for one purpose only: to maintain the optimal
temperature and humidity levels conducive to the proper storage and aging of ne wines. This system produces minimal in-cellar
noise and has the most lenient exhaust requirements. An exterior housing is required for outdoor condensing unit installations.
How Does the Cooling System Work?
Similar to the air conditioning systems used for homes, the evaporator unit (fan coil unit) and condensing units are installed
in separate locations and are connected by a refrigerant line set. The evaporator portion is commonly installed in the wine
cellar, with the condensing unit is located either outside or in a remote indoor location that is ventilated. An exterior housing is
required for outdoor condensing unit installations.
Temperature Setting
The system is designed to maintain a cellar temperature of 55°F as long as the ambient temperature does not exceed 110°F.
