CONDENSATE DRAIN PAN
Check your local Mechanical Code or Regulations - Condensate Wastes & Control Section for install requirements in your area. We
require the use of a secondary drain pain under the cooling system. The drain pan is not provided. A separate drain line will need to
be installed. Please see page 11 for more info.

* Sizing the Unit to the Room
The specication chart will provide information on the units room size cooling capacity. There are circumstances in which a cellar
design may require a larger unit due to some existing design restrictions. There are several factors such as glass, stone, concrete, etc.
which will seem adequate but do not oer the insulation capacity required to maintain the optimum environment. We recommend
purchasing a unit with a larger capacity to compensate for the design limitations. Under sized cooling units can lead to pre-mature
failure and/or prevent the system from reaching the desired set temperature. As a result they are not covered under warranty.

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

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 this Owner’s Manual. It is also vital to
establish a proper care and maintenance schedule. Please read and review this Owner’s Manual carefully and keep it
for future reference.
What is the WhisperKOOL Cooling System?
The WhisperKOOL cooling system is a specialized refrigeration system designed 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.
How Does the Cooling System Work?
Similar to the air conditioning systems used for homes, the evaporator and condensing units are installed in separate
locations and are connected by a refrigerant line set. The evaporator portion is commonly installed in an attic or
mechanical room, with the condensing unit 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 WhisperKOOL system can be set at any temperature within the acceptable wine-aging range of 50°F to 70°F.

Use a surge protector with the unit. Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line.
4. The 12000 condensing unit requires a dedicated 230V 20 amp, single phase dedicated circuit.
5. It is REQUIRED to install a drain line to remove condensation from the evaporator unit.
6. The system is intended for use in properly designed and constructed wine cellars. Hire a professional wine
storage consultant with a valid contractor’s license to build your wine cellar.
