Insulation
CellarProcoolingunitsaredesignedto
be installed inside wine cellars that
have proper insulation, moisture
barriers and an airtight seal from the
environment outside the cellar.
Interior walls and floor should have a
minimum of R‐11 insulation, and a
vaporbarrieronthewarmsideofthe
insulation. The ceiling should have a
minimumofR‐19insulationanda
vaporbarrieronthewarmsideofthe
insulation. Doors also should be
insulated and tightly sealed with
weather stripping around the
perimeter of the door. Surface‐
mounted fixtures are recommended
overrecessedlighting,whichcanallow
airtoleakintothecellar.

Overview
Testthecoolingunittomakesureitisworkingproperlybeforeinstallingthecoolingunit(referto
theinstructionsatthebeginningofthepreviouschapter.)
CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain optimal conditions for wine storage and aging.
Theseconditionsincludesteady,cooltemperatures,highhumidity,minimalvibrationandlight,and

carefulwhenturningtheunitonitsside.TheunitNEVERshouldbeturnedupsidedown.
The cooling system is programmed with a 3‐Minute Delayat Startup to protect its internal
components.
TemperatureControl
CellarPro cooling units are designed to turn “on” when the air temperature passing over the
evaporator coils inside the cellar exceeds the Minimum Set Point plus the Temperature
Differential, and turn “off” when the temperature drops below the Minimum Set Point. For
example,iftheMinimumSetPointis58
°
FandtheTemperatureDifferentialis4

willturnonwhenthetemperaturerisesabove62
