RECEIVING & INSPECTING THE SYSTEM Receiving and Inspecting the System • Lift only at the designated hand hold locations on the shipping container or fully support the unit from • • • underneath. A shipment may include one or more boxes containing accessories. Before opening the container, inspect the packaging for any obvious signs of damage or mishandling. Write any discrepancy or visual damage on the Bill of Lading before signing. Allow the condensing unit to sit for 24 hours prior to start up.
BEFORE YOU START 1. Inspect all components prior to installation. If damage is found, please contact your distributor or WhisperKOOL Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463. 2. The Condensing Unit requires a dedicated 115-volt 20-amp circuit. Use a surge protector with the unit. Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line. 3. It is REQUIRED to install a drain line to remove condensation from the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit). 4.
PREPARING THE WINE CELLAR The performance and life of your system is contingent upon the steps you take in preparing the wine cellar. Note: Improperly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your unit may cause unit failure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side effects. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU OBTAIN THE ASSISTANCE OF A WINE STORAGE PROFESSIONAL.
Unobstructed Airflow Unobstructed airflow to and from the system is critical for the system’s overall performance and life-span. A minimum three-foot clearance (five foot is ideal) area 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’s ability to work efficiently.
Ventilation The necessity of dissipating heat away from the condensing unit is critical to the 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 affect the systems ability to cool.
SYSTEM OPERATION Initial Start-Up When power is applied to the unit, the control will briefly display all symbols, and the Snow Flake symbol will be displayed (if unit is calling for cooling). There may be a brief delay prior to the evaporator fan turning on, as the fan will not turn on until the evaporator probe temperature drops below 70°F. When the evaporator fan is activated the Fan symbol will be displayed. The temperature control feature for the evaporator fan is a feature applicable to WhisperKOOL.
CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS If your unit has a remote keypad then you will have the Remote Controller. High Temp / Pre-Chill Low Temp Display Set Point ON / OFF TEMPERATURE Button Normal Functions ON/OFF • The ON/OFF button allows the customer the convenience of turning the refrigeration system ON or OFF, from the control panel. This feature does not disconnect power from the unit. In order for the power to be shut off from the unit, the power cord must be unplugged from the wall receptacle.
Set 1. Press the “Set” button once and it will display the Set Point. After approximately 5 seconds, the display will return to normal operation and display the Bottle probe temperature. 2. Press the “Set” button once and it will display the Set Point. Press the up and down arrows to change the set point. Press the Set button again and the numbers will blink, confirming the change in Set Point. 3.
CPSM Mode Press the “Set” and the “Down Arrow” buttons simultaneously, for 3-5 seconds, and you will access 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 provide adequate relative humidity for the cellar.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Monthly 1. Check coils 2. Check for unusual noise or vibration 3. Check the drain line to see if it is above the waterline if draining into a vessel. Quarterly 1. Use a vacuum with brush attachment to clean coils. Be careful not to crush coil fins when cleaning. Annually 1. Inspect for corrosion. 2. Check wiring connections and integrity of cords. 3. Pour a 50/50 bleach solution into the drain line every spring.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Unit has ice forming on the Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) Possible Cause Solution Evaporator filter or coil is dirty. Remove the filter and wash, then clean the coil with a vacuum. If coil is very dirty, use a spray bottle with a small amount of liquid dish washing detergent or coil cleaner. Spray coil, let set for 5 min, then flush with fresh water. There is something blocking the supply and or return air Remove blockage The evaporator fan is not turning on.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Unit leaks water Possible Cause Solution Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) is not level Evaporator Unit (Fan Coil Unit) should be level on the wall to prevent leaking. Drain line clogged or kinked Check drain line to make sure water can flow freely.
