INTRODUCTION
Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL cooling system. We strive to provide the highest-quality products and the best
possible customer service. If you have any questions about your system, please call us at 1-800-343-9463 or visit
WhisperKOOL.com.
Using the Manual
This manual is intended to assist in the proper maintenance and installation of the cooling system. In order to ensure the
longevity of your cooling unit, the equipment should be installed as outlined. 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 theWhisperKOOL Cooling System?
The WhisperKOOL 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 fine wines. This system produces minimal in-
cellar noise and has the most lenient exhaust requirements.
How Does the Cooling SystemWork?
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.
Temperature Setting
The system is designed to maintain a cellar temperature of 55°F as long as the ambient temperature does not exceed 120°F.

PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR
The performance and life of your system is contingent upon the steps you take in
preparing the wine cellar. Improp-erly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing
your unit may cause unit failure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side eects.
It is highly recommended that you obtain the assistance of a wine storage professional.
Wine storage professionals work with licensed contractors, refrigeration technicians, and racking companies to build
well-insulated, beautiful, and protective wine cellars. We have put together some useful tips to assist in the
installation process. Our recommendations are meant to act as a guide in the process of building a proper enclosure.
Your intended location may have specific needs which we do not address.
Wall & Ceiling Framing
Build wine cellar walls using standard 2x4 or 2x6 boards and ceiling joists without violating local or state codes in
your area. As a general rule, the thicker the walls and the higher the insulation value, the more consistent your cellar
temperature will be.
Insulation
Insulation is REQUIRED in order to properly use our products. It is vital that all walls and ceilings be insulated to
keep the cellar temperature as consistent as possible during the summer and winter months. Standard fiberglass or
rigid foam insulation is normally used in cellar construction; in some cases, “blown-in” insulation is used. The R-
value, or quality of insulation, is determined by the rate at which heat passes through the insulation. The higher the
R-value, the more resistant the insulation is to conducting heat, and the more consistent your wine cellar’s
temperature will be. Using higher R-values in insulation will lower your operating costs and unit run time. (R-13 is
the recommended minimum; R-19 is preferred for interior cellar walls, and R-30 for ceilings and exterior walls.)
Vapor Barrier
Water vapor creates its own pressure, separate from the ambient air pressure, and will intrude into colder/drier areas.
A vapor barrier is REQUIRED in order to prevent the intrusion of water vapor and maintain the correct cellar
temperature and humidity. It is recommended that 6-millimeter plastic sheeting be applied to the warm side of the
cellar walls. The vapor barrier must also be applied to the outside walls and ceiling. If it is impossible to reach the
outside, then the plastic must be applied from within the cellar. The most common method is to wrap the entire
interior, leaving the plastic loose in the stud cavity so the insulation can be placed between each stud. All of the
walls and ceiling must be wrapped in plastic for a complete vapor barrier.
In areas of high humidity, such as Southern and Gulf States, the vapor barrier will prevent infiltration of warm moist
air. The moist air can cause mold to form, and standing water in drain pans promote microbial and fungal growth
that cause unpleasant odors and indoor air quality problems. If mold is found, remove it immediately and sanitize
that portion of the unit.
Note: High humidity significantly increases the heat load on the cooling system.
Any break in the vapor barriers (cut, nail hole, over-lapping, etc.) will cause a moisture leak and must be sealed. The
electric conduit is a “duct” for vapor to travel in. The conduit should be caulked and sealed on the warm air end.
Page 4

Unobstructed Airow
Unobstructed airflow to and from the system is critical for the evaporator unit and condensing units overall performance
and lifespan. A minimum of 3 feet of clearance (5 feet is ideal) on all sides is crucial. The air the fans blow needs to circulate
and either dissipate or absorb heat from the space. The more air to exchange, the more efficient the system will operate.
Note: Avoid attempting to camouflage the unit. This will restrict airflow and thus the systems ability to work efficiently.
Mounting the Evaporator Unit
The evaporator unit must be mounted within 18“ of the top of the room in order to achieve sucient cooling. As the
room cools down, the warm air will rise to the ceiling. Mounting the unit high in the room will create a consistently cool
environment by capturing the warm air and replacing it with cool air. Mounting the unit low in the room will result in a
temperature variation in the room due to the unit’s inability to draw warm air from the ceiling of the cellar to the unit itself, and
cold air settling to the oor.
Door and Door Seal
An exterior grade (1¾”) door must be installed as a cellar door.
It is essential that weather stripping is attached to all 4 sides of
the doorjamb. A bottom “sweep” or threshold is also required.
The door must have a very good vapor seal to prevent warmer
moist air from leaking into the cellar. One of the most common
problems with cooling systems running continually is due to
the door not sealing properly. In cases where glass doors
are used and the room size is close to the recommended
system size, the next larger size system should be used.
This will compensate for the insulation loss due to the lower
insulating rating of glass.

AmbientTemperature Factor
The cooling system has the ability to cool a wine cellar efficiently to 55°F as long as the ambient temperature of the
area that it is exhausting to does not exceed 120°F. Therefore, you want to exhaust the condensing unit in a space which will
not exceed 120°F. Otherwise the system will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.
Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the condensing unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be overstated. As
the system operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the condensing side of the system. Adequate ventilation
is required in order to dissipate heat away from the condensing unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will heat up the area
or room and adversely aect the system’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 condensing side of the system. However, you must have a fresh air inlet as well.
Note: If you are unsure about having adequate ventilation in your install location, please
contact us to assess your specific installation
WARNING! Allowing your system to operate in temperatures of 120° or above for
extended periods of time will greatly decrease the life of your system and void
your warranty. The cooler the temperature of the air entering the condenser coil,
the more cooling capacity the system has. The less heat gain through the
common wall, the less the electricity consumption.

LIQUID-MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM (BOTTLE PROBE) - KDT
Our cooling units come with a liquid-temperature-measuring thermostat. The self-calibrating probe con-tains a sensor chip,
which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy. Wine
should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air,
the unit will operate 75–80% of the time.
Setting up the Bottle Probe:
1. Locate an empty wine bottle.
2. Fill it 75% full with room-temperature tap water.
3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle as seen in Figure 1.
4. Place the wine bottle in your wine cellar. Ensure sensor tip is fully submerged.
5. To ensure a consistent temperature, place bottle probe approximately three
(3) feet away from the air output and not in the flow of the air.
It is recommended that the bottle be placed in a central location of your
wine cellar. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord. It may become
disconnected resulting in limited functionality of the unit.
Note: The thermostat can be set between 50–70°F.
Remember: The unit operates based on the temperature of the water.
Do not be misled by thermostats reading air temperature. The air temperature
in the cellar will be cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it is
reaching the optimum balanced temperature.

24V THERMOSTAT KIT WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
The 24V thermostat conversion kit requires a standard 18-5 thermostat wire to be run from the evaporator unit to the
thermostat. The white wire will not be used, as there is no heating function. (Some thermostats need a common wire and
some do not; the unit is equipped with a common wire if needed.)18-5 thermostat wire (communication cable) must be run
between the evaporator unit and the condensing unit.
24V Wiring Connections (Evaporator)
1. Route a standard 18-5 thermostat wire into the evaporator unit.
2. Locate the wire thermostat connection cable inside of the evaporator unit.
3. Connect the wires according to color ( red to red, green to green, and blue to blue). Note: The evaporator unit will not
contain a yellow wire. See next step for more information on Yellow wire.
4. Connect one wire from the 18-5 thermostat wire to the low-voltage yellow wire (1). Then connect the other 18-5 wire to
the blue low-voltage wires (2). The three other wires will not be used.
Thermostat Wiring Connections
Follow the thermostat installation instructions. NOTE: The white wire will not be used, as there is no heating function.
NOTE: To ensure correct system operation, the 24V thermostat must be placed inside the wine cellar, preferably in a
central location away from any airow.

11.Connect the refrigerant piping according to these instructions
1. Cut the pipes
When cutting the pipes make sure to take extra care and cut and flare them properly. This will ensure a proper connection
and minimize the need for maintenance
a. Measure the distance between the indoor and outdoor units
b. Using a pipe cutter, cut the pipe a little bit longer than the measured distance
c. Make sure that the pipe is cut at a perfect 90° angle. Refer to the example
2. Remove Burrs
Burrs can affect the air tight seal of refrigerant piping connection. They must be completely removed
a. Hold the pipe at a downward angle to prevent burrs from falling into the pipe
b. Using a reamer or deburring tool, remove all burrs from the cut section of the pipe

3. Flare pipe ends
Proper flaring is essential to achieve an airtight seal
a. After Removing burrs from cut pipe, seal the ends with PVC tape to prevent foreign materials from entering the
pipe
b. Sheath the pipe with insulating material
c. Place flare nuts on both ends of pipe. (Flare nuts provided with lineset.) Make sure they are facing the right
direction. After flaring the pipe the nuts will not be removable. Remove PVC tape ends of pipe when ready to
perform flare work
d. Clamp flare form on end of pipe must extend beyond the edge of the flare form in accordance with the
dimensions in the table below

e. Place flaring tool onto form
f. Turn the handle of the flaring tool clockwise until the pipe is fully flared
g. Remove the flaring tool and flare form, then inspect the ends for any cracks and make sure the flaring is even.
4. Connect pipes
When connecting refrigerant pipes, be careful not to use any excessive torque or to deform the piping in any way. You
should first connect the low-pressure pipe, then the high pressure pipe. It is recommended to use a CFC and HCFC
compatible thread sealant on all threaded pipe connections.
a. Align the center of the two pipes that will be connected. To prevent gas leakage, apply refrigeration oil only to
the inner surface of the flare. Use torque wrenches when tightening the flare nuts to prevent damage to the
flare nuts and gas leakage
b. Tighten the flare nut as tight as possible by hand
c. Using a spanner, grip the nut on the unit tubing

Prior to applying recommended torque to brass flare nut, it is highly recommended a small amount of
refrigeration oil be applied to the flare threads, flare sealing surface, and copper tubing flared surface to
prevent galling of sealing surfaces and aid in providing a refrigerant tight seal (Use refrigeration oil for R134a).
Be careful not to overtighten the connection as this may damage the flare or fitting.

Routing the tubing out of the unit:
Cut a small piece of 1/2” tubing and connect one
end to the drip tray port and the other to a
90-degree fitting. (This will direct the tubing
toward the back of the unit where the tube will
exit the unit.) Be sure to extend the tubing far
enough outside the housing to extend through
the wall if necessary.
If routing out of the rear: Cut a piece of tubing
long enough to protrude out of the knockout on
the back side of the unit.
If routing out of the bottom: Cut a piece of
tubing long enough to reach the knockout in
the bottom of the unit and install the supplied
90-degree fitting. (This will direct the tubing out
of the bottom of the unit without the risk of
kinking the tubing.) DO NOT USE TEE WHEN
ROUTING OUT OF THE BOTTOM.
Routing to discharge location if routed out
of the bottom:
Connect the drain line directly to the second
90-degree barb fitting previously installed. Route
the drain line to an appropriate drain location.
No tee is required if draining through the
bottom of the unit.
NOTE: The fitting should be placed
vertically with the 3” cutout facing
up.
Failure to install the drain line
voids the warranty.
To prevent mold from growing,
allow the drain line to hang
above the water line.
WRONG: Drain line is under water.
DRAIN LINE
Condensation Drain Line (not provided, but required)
The condensation drain line tube moves excess condensation from the evaporator unit to a proper discharge
location. It is important for the drain line tube to be properly connected in order to prevent leakage and other problems associ-
ated with excess condensation.
Failure to use the condensation drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit.
Drain Line
All systems come with a drain line connection tee and two 90-degree fittings. The unit is equipped with a 1/2” OD barbed fitting
coming from the drip tray. (NOTE: 1/2” ID clear PVC tubing will need to be purchased and installed by the installing technician.)
Installation of the drain line is mandatory, whether it leads through the wall and out of the cellar or remains inside the cellar.
During operation, the cooling system will strip excess water from the air in order to maintain the proper level of humidity within
the cellar. However, in extreme humidity, additional condensate will be removed; thus the drain line will prevent overflow and
leakage by discharging the excess condensate.
Routing to discharge location if routed out of the rear:
Insert the middle barb of the barbed tee fitting into the end of the drain
line coming from the evaporator. Rotate fitting so tee is in the
orientation shown in the diagram below. Connect a 3-inch piece of 1/2”
drain line to the barb on top. Connect the remaining “long” piece of drain
tubing to the bottom barb of the tee. Route the drain line to an
appropriate drain location.
