It is mandatory that you DO NOT plug in or start your new WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit for 24 hours after its delivery.
LIQUID MEASURING THERMOMETER By measuring the temperature of the liquid, the temperature reading will be consistent and the unit will only run when it needs to. To Install the Thermostat: 1. Fill an empty wine bottle to its neck with room temperature water. 2. Press bottle probe securely into bottle. 3. Place the bottle with probe into a level rack space. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord as it may become disconnected, which would lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
SYSTEM OPERATION (WHISPERKOOL 2500) Initial Start-Up When the unit is first turned on, the control will briefly display all symbols and the green snowflake symbol will appear if the unit is calling for cooling. There may be a brief delay prior to the evaporator fan turning on, as it will not start until the probe temperature drops to below 70°F. When the fan is activated, the fan symbol will be displayed.
SYSTEM OPERATION (WHISPERKOOL 2500) CONT. Ambient Temperature The cooling system in the cabinet has the ability to cool a maximum of 20°F below the ambient temperature in the room. The optimal temperature for wine storage is 55°F, make sure that the temperature of the room in which the cabinet will be placed does not exceed 75°F. To ensure a consistent temperature, make sure the room temperature does not dip below 55°F.

WHISPERKOOL SERIES ADVANCED CONTROLLER (CONT.) Customer Preference Selection Menu (cont.) CON/COF — Compressor on time (CON) and off time (COF) with a Probe 1 failure alarm: These parameters are set at CON 40 minutes and COF 10 minutes. In the event that there is a Probe 1 failure alarm, the compressor/refrigeration system automatically starts a predetermined ON/OFF cycle, which is controlled by the CON and the COF parameters.
TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT Remember, do not start or plug in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many units are placed on their sides during shipping, which may allow compressor oil to escape their reservoirs. Premature starting before the oil has had a chance to resettle can cause damage to the compressor and result in a lack of cooling. Before you fill the cabinet with wine, you’ll want to check the operation of the unit. All cabinets successfully pass quality control at the Vinothèque facility.
NORMAL OPERATION MAINTENANCE The cooling unit will cycle on and off as needed once the temperature has stabilized and the initial “cooldown” has been completed. The condensate evaporator and temperature equalizer switches may be turned off for normal operation. — Thermostat: Should be 55°F or desired wine temperature. Maintenance WhisperKOOL recommends vacuuming of the condenser fins located in the rear of the cabinet every three months.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem System will not start Runs constantly Not cooling Icing up Clicking noise during start-up Likely Cause Tripping circuit breaker Solution Reset breaker, verify dedicated 20 amp outlet and not on ground fault interrupter Temperature setting is wrong Adjust your set temperature Wine probe disconnected Assure probe line is in a bottle of water and is not stretched.
