What Is the WhisperKOOL Slimline Cooling System?
The WhisperKOOL Slimline system is a specialized refrigeration unit designed for one purpose only: to maintain the
optimal temperature and humidity levels conducive to the proper storage and aging of ne wines. It is a self-con-
tained cooling unit designed to be used as a forced-air through-the-wall unit.
How Does the WhisperKOOL Slimline Work?
The WhisperKOOL Slimline cooling system is especially designed for the use and application to maintain optimal con-
ditions for wine storage and aging. The system is specially designed for slow cooling, this greatly reduces the amount
of humidity removed from the cellar.
Temperature Setting
The WhisperKOOL Slimline unit can be set at any temperature within the acceptable wine-aging range of 45°F to 67°F.
It is designed to cool up to 30°F cooler than the ambient temperature of the space to which it is exhausting.

RECEIVING & INSPECTING THE UNIT

Page 6 SL 091912
QUICK START GUIDE
This guide is meant to serve as a quick reference for installation of the WhisperKOOL unit. The remainder of this
Owner’s Manual will provide more detailed information and instructions.
Upon receiving the WhisperKOOL unit:
1. Inspect the unit before installation. If damage is found, please contact your distributor or WhisperKOOL
Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext 799.
2. The unit should remain in an upright position for 24 hours prior to operation.
3. The WhisperKOOL unit requires a dedicated 115-volt 20-amp circuit. Use a surge protector with the
WhisperKOOL unit. Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line.
4. The unit is designed to gently cool down the temperature of the cellar over time by cycling cooler and cooler air
throughout. Test the unit prior to installation. Operate unit for twenty minutes. While the unit is running and
working properly, the air discharged from the front should be 10 - 15°F cooler than the air in the room. This
means that in an environment where the air is 80°F, the unit will discharge air that is 65-70°F.
6. It is REQUIRED to install a drain line to remove condensation from the unit.
7. The WhisperKOOL unit 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. Refer to the“How to
Build a Wine Cellar” video available on the WhisperKOOL website at www.whisperkool.com.
8. Install the foam strips along the inside edge of the unit’s flange to assure a proper seal against the wall.
Never try to open the WhisperKOOL unit, repair it yourself, or use a service company
without WhisperKOOL’s authorization. This will void your warranty.
If you encounter a problem with your WhisperKOOL unit, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide. If you have any
further questions, concerns, or need assistance, please contact WhisperKOOL Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463
ext. 799. Please be sure all testing has been completed prior to contacting Customer Service. Please have your results
ready for your representative.

The performance and life of your WhisperKOOL unit is contingent upon the
steps you take in preparing the wine cellar.
Note: Improperly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your WhisperKOOL
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. WhisperKOOL has 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 specic needs that we do not address.
How to Build a Wine Cellar Instructional Video
WhisperKOOL has a construction tutorial available on line at our website: www.whisperkool.com. This tutorial will walk
you through the steps of constructing a properly built wine cellar and the installation of our WhisperKOOL product line.
Wall & Ceiling Framing
Build wine cellar walls using standard 2x4 or 2x6 construction methods and ceiling joists following the guidelines of
local and state codes in your area. As a general rule, the thicker the walls and the higher the insulation value in your
cellar, the better it will be at maintaining a consistent temperature.
Insulation
Insulation is REQUIRED with the use of the WhisperKOOL product. Standard berglass or rigid foam insulation is nor-
mally used in cellar construction or, in some cases,“blown-in” insulation is used. It is very important that all walls and
ceilings are insulated to keep the cellar temperature as consistent as possible during the summer and winter months.
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. Using higher R-values in insulation will
lower your operating costs and unit run time. (R-13 minimum, R-19 recommended, R-30 for ceiling and exterior walls.)
Vapor Barrier
A vapor barrier is REQUIRED to prevent the intrusion of water vapor so that the cellar can be kept at the correct
temperature and humidity. 6 mm plastic sheeting (recommended) should 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, leav-
ing 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 inltration 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.
PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR

Page 8 SL 091912
Unobstructed Airow
Unobstructed airflow too and from the unit is critical for the unit’s overall performance and life-span. A mini-
mum three-foot clearance (five foot is ideal) area is crucial. The air the fans blow needs to circulate and either dissi-
pate 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 unit’s ability to work efficiently.
Door and Door Seal
An exterior grade (1 3/4”) door must be installed as a cellar door. It is very important that weather stripping is at-
tached to all 4 sides of the doorjamb. A bottom “sweep” or threshold is also required. The door must have a very good
seal to keep the cool cellar air from escaping out of the cellar. One of the most common problems with cooling units
running continually is due to the door not sealing properly.
Mounting the Unit
The 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 WhisperKOOL 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.

Ambient Temperature Factor
The cooling system has the ability to cool a wine cellar eciently to 55°F as long as the ambient temperature of the
area that it is exhausting to does not exceed 85°F. Therefore, you want to exhaust the unit in a room which will not
exceed 85°F, preferably at 75°F, otherwise the unit will not have the capacity to keep the wine at a desirable 55°F.

Ventilation
The necessity of dissipating heat away from the unit is critical to the unit’s performance and cannot be overstated. As
the unit operates and cools, a greater amount of heat is generated on the exhaust side of the unit. Adequate ventila-
tion is required in order to dissipate heat away from the unit. If ventilation is inadequate, the exhaust will heat up the
area or room and adversely aect the unit’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 backside of the unit. 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 specic installation at [email protected] or 1.800.343.9463.
Warning, allowing your system to operate in high ambient temperatures for extended
periods of time will greatly decrease the life of your system and void your warranty.
Drain Line
All units come with a drain line for additional removal of excessive condensate. This is a back up system to the
Condensate Evaporator. It is mandatory to install the drain line attachment. During operation, the cooling unit will
strip excess water from the air in order to maintain the proper level of humidity within the cellar. The Condensate
Evaporator will heat and dissipate the excess moisture through the rear of the unit. However in extreme humidity,
additional condensate will be created. Conversely the high humidity air has less capacity to absorb additional
moisture through the exhaust of the unit. Thus the drain line will prevent overflow and leaking by allowing for
discharge of the additional condensate. WhisperKOOL carries a condensate pump kit, which allows the excess
condensate to be pumped up to 20 ft. away from the unit.

Page 10 SL 091912
Electrical Needs
The WhisperKOOL System requires a dedicated 110-volt 20-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount of amps at
initial start up. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has enough power to run ef-
fectively. Contact an electrician for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit:
1. Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the WhisperKOOL unit.
2. Provide a dedicated circuit and wiring for the unit.
Electrical Outlet
The unit is equipped with a twelve foot power cord located on the evaporator side of the unit. Plug your Whis-
perKOOL unit into a surge protector or power conditioner. As with any sensitive electrical equipment, the Whis-
perKOOL electrical equipment may be damaged by power surges and spikes. Power surges and spikes are not cov-
ered in the WhisperKOOL warranty.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT.
TEST THE UNIT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
To prepare it for testing before installation in wall:
• Remove unit from box
• Place unit on tabletop
• Plug in unit to electrical outlet
• Plug in bottle sensor
• Turn on to test (Temperature dierential should be 10°F across coils)
• Turn o after test
• Remove bottle sensor
Testing Unit - Place the WhisperKOOL system on a tabletop to prepare it for installation and testing. Plug system
into a live electrical outlet and turn unit on. The system may take up to 10 to 15 minutes before running cool. Once
the operation has been tested, turn the unit o, and unplug the unit from the electrical outlet.*
Units weigh 50 pounds and are cumbersome for one person to carry. We recommend that you get someone else to
help you during the installation process. NEVER LAY UNIT ON ITS SIDE.
Note: If the system does not seem to be running cool after 15 minutes, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on
Page 19.

STEP 4
Slide the cooling unit in from the cellar side with the
thermostat facing inside. The outer ange should be ush
to the wall. Secure the ange to the wall through the
pre drilled holes. The screws should penetrate the studs
and/or frame as well as the upper and lower supports to
provide adequate support for the WhisperKOOL system.
Seal all cracks and gaps around the unit with an air-tight
sealant or caulking to prevent air leakage.
Note: If you use decorative molding, it should be attached to
the walls and never to the cooling unit.
STEP 5
Attach the condensate drain line
The condensation drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the unit to a proper discharge loca-
tion. It is important that the drain line tube is properly connected and used to prevent leakage and other problems
associated with excess condensation.
Failure to use the condensation drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit.
Note: To prevent mold from growing, allow the drain line to
hang above the water line.
Failure to install the drain line voids warranty.
To prevent mold from growing, allow the drain line to
hang above the water line.

LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM
The WhisperKOOL Slimline cooling unit comes equipped with a liquid temperature measuring thermostat system.
The probe contains a sensor chip which actually communicates back and
forth to the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and
accuracy. Do not remove the tip from the probe!
To Use the thermostat:
1. Locate an empty wine bottle.
2. Fill 3/4 full with room temperature tap water.
3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle.
4. Place bottle with probe level and to the side of the unit in your wine cellar.
Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord. It may become disconnected
resulting in non-operation of the unit.
Note: The thermostat can be set between 45°F and 67°F.
Remember: The WhisperKOOL System is based on the temperature of the
water. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will oper-
ate 75- 80% of the time.

Page 14 SL 091912
Initial Start-Up
When power is applied to the unit, the control will
briey display all symbols, and the Compressor
symbol will be displayed (if unit is calling for cooling).
There may be a brief delay prior to the evaporator
and condenser fans turning on.
Normal System Cycle
After the bottle probe has reached the set point (all
units are shipped with the set point of 55°F and a dif-
ferential of 1°F) the unit turns o. The WHM is an ad-
justable feature which allows the customer the con-
venience of managing the humidity enhancement
of their wine cellar. The WHM is one of the many
Customer Preference Selection features which allow
the customer the ability to ne tune the controls. This
feature is set to 0 when shipped but if needed can be
adjusted.
Anti Short Cycle
The Anti Short Cycle ensures that the unit will remain
o for a period of 3 minutes after the unit has reached
the set point to allow the pressure in the refrigeration
system to equalize prior to starting the compressor.
Anti Frost Cycle
The Anti Frost Cycle is a precautionary measure, as
icing or frosting of the coil does not occur during
normal operation. The system will go through an
anti frost cycle when the evaporator temperature
reaches 26°. During the Anti Frost cycle, the unit will
stop cooling and run the indoor fan to provide air
ow across the indoor coil, which will melt any frost
accumulation.
Bottle Probe Failure Protection
In the event that a bottle probe should fail, the APST
(Advance Product Safety Technology) will automati-
cally transition the Refrigeration Compressor cycles
to a pre-determined time series (based on detailed
laboratory testing), which will ensure that the prod-
uct is kept within the safe range.

the “Customer Preference Selection Mode”(CPSM). The CPSM allows the customer to “Fine Tune”the
Control Operating System to their applicable choice.
The following CPSM options are available for adjustment:
Fon – Humidity Management Enhancement: This parameter is normally set at 0, which should pro-
vide adequate relative humidity for the cellar.
• An increase in this parameter will increase the Humidity Enhancement (%RH), and a decrease in
the parameter will decrease Humidity Enhancement (%RH).
• Adjustments should be made in increments of 5, with a maximum of 15, and a minimum of 0.
• After any adjustment to Humidity Enhancement, you should wait a minimum of three days
before making any additional adjustments. This will allow the cellar sucient time to acclimate
to the new setting.
Fof - Humidity Management Enhancement: This parameter is normally set at 15. This parameter
should not be adjusted, as it simply provides an OFF cycle time for the fan, during the compressor
OFF cycle. However, the parameter is located within the CPSM as a convenience to the customer,
should it need to be adjusted.
CCS – Cellar Pre-Chill Set Point: This parameter is set at 52°f, but can be adjusted to a set point be-
tween 50°f - 67°f.
CCT - Cellar Pre-Chill Duration: This parameter is set to 6 hours, but can be changed between 0-23.5
hours.
Con/Cof – Compressor On time (Con) and O time (Cof ) with a Probe 1 failure/Alarm. These parame-
ters are set at Con 40 min/Cof 10 min. In the event that there is a Probe 1 failure/Alarm, the compres-
sor/refrigeration system automatically starts a predetermined ON/OFF cycle, which is controlled by
the Con and the Cof parameters. The customer can adjust these parameters to maintain the desired
Bottle temperature.
Hes – Dierential for Energy Reduction – This parameter is set at 4° above the set point, during the
Energy Reduction mode. A decrease in this setting will decrease the set point, and an increase in this
feature will increase the set point.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Monthly 1. Check for unusual noise or vibration
2. Check the drainline to see if it is above the waterline if draining into a vessel.
Quarterly 1. Clean front and rear intake grilles.
Annually 1. Use a vacuum with brush attachment to clean grilles.
2. Inspect for corrosion.
3. Check wiring connections and integrity of cords.
4. Pour a 50/50 bleach solution into the drainline every spring.
It is the user’s responsibility to remove any accumulated dust, lint, or other debris from the front and rear intake
grilles. This will restrict the airow and may aect the unit’s ability to function properly. Periodically cleaning the
unit’s vents will help assure maximum cooling eciency. The drain tube must also be checked and kept clean and
free of debris and mold to maintain proper performance.
