--INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS--

Thank you for choosing a BREEZAIRE cooling unit. We believe our products

are the best on the market and will provide many years of trouble free service.

Please take a few minutes and read this entire instruction before beginning the

installation.

Before removing the cooling unit from the box, please inspect for damage which might

have been incurred during shipping. If damage is found, notify the Freight Company

immediately.

BREEZAIRE is not responsible for any damages incurred during shipping.

While great effort has been made to provide accurate guidelines, BREEZAIRE cannot warrant
its units to properly cool a particular enclosure. Customers are cautioned that enclosure
construction, unit location and many other factors can affect the operation and performance of the
unit. Therefore the suitability of the unit for a specific enclosure or application must be determined
by the customer and cannot be warranted by BREEZAIRE.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

FOR WKSL SERIES COOLING UNITS

The BREEZAIRE WKSL Series cooling units are designed to, when installed in a properly
constructed enclosure, provide a constant, selectable temperature between 48°F and 63°F while
reducing the excess relative humidity to the proper 50% to 75%. BREEZAIRE cooling units are
designed to lower the temperature, while removing only excessive moisture. In a properly
constructed enclosure this process can raise the relative humidity. The unit does not add moisture
to the enclosure. The unit does not include a heating system and will not warm the enclosure.
The WKSL Series is not intended to cool service cabinets, which are maintained at lower
temperatures and opened or entered frequently.

The WKSL Model has a digital electronic (Sentry III) thermostat that adds additional safety and
convenience features:

Large, easy to read, green LED display.

Accurate, easy to adjust (no tools needed), readable set points with continuous reading of
enclosure temperature or displaying of the set point when changing enclosure temperatures.

Power outage protection, which delays unit start up after power outages.

Blocked airflow protection, which shuts down unit and protects wine in case of high temperatures
caused by condenser blockage.

Controls temperature by enclosure intake air sensors or an optional bottle probe.

The WKSL Series cooling unit, is shipped as components, not a working cooling system. Only
after a qualified refrigeration installer has properly connected these components, pressured tested,
evacuated, charged with refrigerant and tested their installation, can the unit be considered a
cooling system. Proper installation is critical to the performance, reliability and longevity of the
system. For this reason, BREEZAIRE can only warrant the quality of the WKSL components. The
installation and proper operation must be warranted by the installer. Before installation, the
purchaser and installer should carefully read the enclosed Limited Warranty.

ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION GUIDELINES

To use the below SIZING GUIDE, the enclosure to be cooled must be built to the following
minimum specifications. If the enclosure cannot be built to these specifications, consult your

BREEZAIRE dealer for assistance in choosing the correct unit. BREEZAIRE units are not
warranted to cool a specific enclosure.

All walls, floors and ceilings should have a vapor barrier. This vapor barrier should be installed
on the warm side of the insulation. All interior walls and floors should be lined with a minimum of
R-11 insulation and exterior walls and ceiling insulation value should be a minimum of R-19.
There should be no glass doors and/or windows.

All joints, door frames, electrical outlets or switches and any pipes or vents which go through
the enclosure should be sealed to prevent air and moisture leakage into the room. Concrete, rock
and brick are not insulation or moisture barriers.

Doors into the enclosure should be of minimum size, insulated to R-11 and be tightly sealed
with a high quality weather stripping. Be sure to seal the bottom of the door and fill the gap
between the door's frame and wall before installing the cap molding.

Enclosure lighting should be of low wattage, with a timer to insure lights are not left on when
the enclosure is unoccupied. Recessed lighting should not be used as they will allow outside air to
enter the enclosure.

WKSL 05/11 PG2

No enclosure wall should receive direct sunlight or strong wind.

These are mechanical pieces of equipment, they will make noise and the condensing unit will
produce heat. Unit installation and location are not only important inside the wine cellar, but just as
important, is where the warm exhaust air from the condensing unit is being rejected.

SIZING GUIDE & SPECIFICATIONS

This guide is to be used only for enclosures meeting the above construction requirements.Glass doors
and/or windows are not included in our calculations and should not be used in a wine enclosure. Note: All
units are 115 Volt, 60 Hz

INSTALLATION

BREEZAIRE recommends the use of a licensed refrigeration technician to install the WKSL
systems. Installation of the unit's line set through a fire rated wall must be done in accordance
with your local building codes. If your installation cannot be performed in accordance with
these instructions contact your dealer.

The units must be installed in the upright position and are not designed to have ductwork attached
on either the condenser or evaporator units. Do not drill any holes into the units. This may
damage the units, promote rust, and will void the warranty.

The WKSL systems consists of two components, the condensing unit and the fan/coil unit. The
condensing unit includes the compressor, condenser coil, fan assembly and two service ports.
The fan/coil unit includes SENTRY III digital electronic thermostat , evaporator coil, and fan
assembly.

Mounting the fan/coil unit: The fan/coil should be mounted within six inches of the ceiling and as
close to the horizontal center of the wall as possible. (Note for WKSL 4000 only - If the unit must
be mounted below the mid point of the wall, exchange the upper front grill with the blank off plate
on the top of the unit.) Air flow to and from the unit must be unobstructed for a minimum of 3 feet.
The unit is mounted to the wall using the four slotted holes in the rear plate. The top holes should
be approximately 10" from the ceiling. Mount the unit to a solid part of the wall using ¼" lags or
bolts. If necessary, attach two horizontal furring strips, at least 1" thick, solidly to the studs and
attach the unit to the furring strips. Provisions must be made for passing the tubing set, wiring and
drain tube through the wall.
Mounting the condensing unit: Place the condensing unit on a solid foundation in a location with
at least 1 foot of clearance on all sides. The warm exhaust air must be unobstructed for at least 3
feet. If the condenser inlet temperature exceeds 85°F the unit's rated BTU’s will be decreased. If
the condenser location goes below 20°F a crankcase heater or fan speed control should be
installed. The condensing unit should be elevated to avoid any possible flooding and shaded from
direct sun light. Install the condensing unit so that cleaning the condenser inlet will not be difficult.
