INTRODUCTION
Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing a CellarCool 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 1-855-235-5271 or visit cellarcool.com.
Using the Manual
This Owners Manual is intended to assist in the proper installation and maintenance of the cooling system. In order to ensure the longevity of your cooling unit, the equipment should be installed properly and have a proper care and maintenance schedule (as outlined in page 39). Please read and review this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
What Is the CellarCool Cooling System?
The CellarCool cooling system is a specialized refrigeration system designed for one purpose only: 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. An exterior housing is required for outdoor condensing unit installations.
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 the wine cellar to remove heat and the condensing unit either outside or in a remote indoor location where the heat is expelled.
Temperature Setting
The CellarCool system, with a CellarCool controller, can be set at any temperature within the acceptable wine-aging range of 50°F to 67°F. It is designed to cool the cellar up to 55°F cooler than the ambient temperature of the space to which the condensing unit is installed.

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 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. CellarCool 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.
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 CellarCool product. Standard berglass or rigid foam insulation is nor­mally 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
Water vapor creates its own pressure, separate from the air pressure, and will intrude into colder/drier areas. 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, leaving 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. High humidity signicantly increases the heat load on the refrigerant system.
Any break in the vapor barriers (cut, nail hole, over-lapping, etc) will allow a moisture leak and must be sealed. Electric conduit is a “duct” for vapor to travel in. The conduit should be caulked and sealed on the warm air end.

TWS 092115
Unobstructed Airow
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.
Keep Clear
Wine Cellar
Mounting the Unit
The evaporator 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 unit 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.
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 attached 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 systems running continually is due to the door not sealing properly. In cases where glass doors are used
and the room size is close to the recommended system size, the next larger size CellarCool system should be used. This will compensate for the insulation loss due to
the lower insulating rating of glass.

HORIZONTAL MOUNT DRAIN LINE
Condensate Drain Line Tube
The condensate drain line tube is used to remove excess condensation from the evaporator unit to a proper discharge location. 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 condensate drain line tube will void the warranty on the unit.
Drain Line
All systems come with a drain line for removal of excess condensate. It is mandatory to install the drain line whether it leads through the wall and out of the cellar or remains inside the cellar. During operation, the cooling system will condense excess water from the air in order to maintain the proper level of humidity within the cellar. However in extreme humidity, additional condensate will be removed. Thus the drain line will prevent overflow and leaking by allowing for discharge of the additional condensate.

Fill a wine bottle ¾ full with water between 60-75°F. Insert the bottle probe into the neck of the bottle as far as possible. (It is important the bottle probe stopper is compressed by the neck of the bottle to ensure water will not leak out). Verify that the bottle probe is properly installed and the set point on the controller is low enough to allow the system to run continuously for 30 minutes or more.
INSTALLING THE CONDENSING UNIT
Connect the 4 valve manifold gauge set to the liquid line king valve and suction line service valve ports on the Condensing Unit.
Suction Line Service Valve, and Liquid Line King Valve Instructions
The condensing unit is shipped from the factory with both valve stems front seated. This means the valve stem has been rotated clockwise all the way in. (With the valve stem in this position the refrigerant line is closed, and the service port is open.) There is a plastic cap installed over the service port from the factory. The valves are sent in this orientation to keep the factory nitrogen charge inside of the condensing unit. The factory nitrogen charge is used solely to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the system prior to the install.
The valve stem will need to be mid-seated to evacuate and charge the system. Follow the instructions below for valve stem seating instructions.
Back seat both valves by rotating the valve stem counter clockwise until the stem stops. (Do not over torque the valve stem as this will cause the packing between the valve stem and valve body to leak.) Once the valve stem is fully back seated rotate the valve stem one and a half turns clockwise. This will keep the refrigerant line all the way open and allow the service valves to be open for evacuation and charging purposes.
Evacuation
Close off the high and low side valves on the manifold gauge set. Connect the charging hose from the manifold gauge set to the outlet of the charging scale. Connect another refrigerant hose to a tank of R404a and to the inlet of the charging scale. Open the tank of R404a and place it on a charging scale in the upside down position, with the power turned off to the condensing unit. Set the charging scale to 60 grams. Press the charge button and loosen the charging hose from the manifold gauge. This process is very important as it will purge out any air that is trapped between the refrigerant tank, charging scale, and manifold gauge set. Once the liquid refrigerant begins to flow out of the hose, tighten the charging hose to the manifold gauge set.
Energize the liquid line solenoid valve (Meaning make sure the evaporator units are wired together, turned on, and calling for cooling). Connect a micron gauge directly to the pump, blank off, and start the pump to verify that it is capable of a 200 micron vacuum and the gauge is capable of reading that vacuum. Connect a micron gauge in line with the vacuum hose at the manifold gauge set. Remove the Schrader Valve Depressors from the gauge hoses to reduce restriction and connect gauges to the suction and liquid line service valve service ports on the Condensing Unit. Connect the pump to the vacuum hose on the manifold gauge set. Start the pump and run until the micron gauge reads 200 microns.
When a 200 micron level evacuation is achieved, close off the pump and turn it off. Let the system sit for two minutes, monitoring the vacuum level. Ensure the system vacuum level does not rise above 500 microns, this will confirm that all moisture has been removed from the system as well ensure there are no leaks. If the vacuum level does rise above 500 microns, perform a leak check, repair leaks if necessary, and repeat the evacuation process.
Charging
Close off the high and low side valves on the manifold gauge set. Remove the vacuum pump and the micron gauge from the system. Open the refrigerant valve on the manifold gauge set and charge the system with 3.5lbs of R404a. Set the refrigerant tank in the upright position. Turn power on to the condensing unit and allow the system to run for 10 minutes. Observe the sight glass for bubbles. If bubbles are present open the low side valve on the manifold gauge set and monitor the sight glass. Once the bubbles begin to disappear close off the low side valve on the manifold gauge to stop the flow of refrigerant. Allow the system to run for a period of 5 minutes. Observe the sight glass for bubbles, if bubbles are still present, open the low side valve on the manifold gauge set and admit more vapor into the system. Once the sight glass is full and stays full for a period of 10 minutes the system is fully charged.

Superheat Checking/Expansion Valve Adjustments Note: Keep the Warranty Checklist on hand so it can be filled out at the time measurements and adjustments are made. Install a
temperature sensor at the outlet of the evaporator coil on the suction line, two to three inches upstream from the sensing bulb. Peel some of the cork tape back to get access to the copper suction line. Zip tie the bead of the temperature sensor to the suction line and insulate with ½” Armaflex insulation. Allow time for the temperature to register on the temperature meter and settle out (this usually takes about a minute). Document the temperature of the suction line and compare it to the low side pressure gauge reading, converted to temperature. If superheat is not between 8-12°F, an adjustment to the expansion valve is needed.
(Superheat = suction line temperature – low side pressure gauge reading converted to temperature).
Locate the expansion valve and remove the cork tape from the bottom end of the valve. Place one crescent wrench on the valve body and another crescent wrench on the nut located at the bottom of the valve. Hold the crescent wrench that is on the valve body firmly in place, and use the other crescent wrench on the nut to break it loose. Remove the nut from the valve to expose the superheat setting valve stem. Using a service wrench, rotate the valve stem in half turn increments. Turning the valve stem clockwise will increase superheat, turning the valve stem counter clockwise will decrease superheat. Once an adjustment has been made, allow the system to run for 5 minutes and check the temperature sensor and the low side gauge converted to temperature. If the superheat is between 8-12˚F, then the expansion valve is set correctly, if not, repeat the process until 8-12˚F superheat is achieved. Reinstall the cap and cork tape removed from the expansion valve. Disconnect the temperature sensor from the suction line and reinsulate the line where the sensor was installed (failure to do this can result in condensation issues).
Measuring Sub-Cooling/ Sub-Cooling Adjustments
Zip tie the bead of a temperature sensor to the liquid line 2” from the outlet of the condenser coil. Insulate the temperature sensor using Armaflex to prevent inaccurate readings. Allow time for the temperature to register on the temperature meter and stabilize out (this usually takes about a minute). Compare the temperature of the liquid line with the condensing pressure converted to temperature. 1-8˚F of sub-cooling is optimal.
(Sub-cooling = condensing pressure converted to temperature – liquid line temperature).
If sub-cooling is 10˚F or higher, the system is overcharged or has non-condensables. Make sure the condenser fan motor is running when performing the sub-cooling measurement. If it is cold out and the fan motor cycles on and off, place a piece of paper over approximately 60% of the air inlet of the condenser coil, this will help stabilize the condensing temp to get an accurate reading. Once this has been done, allow the system to run for 5 minutes and verify the amount of sub-cooling. If the system is over charged recover a small amount of refrigerant, just to the point where there is a small amount of bubbles in the sight glass. Allow the system to run for 5 minutes and recheck the sub-cooling, also verify the sight glass has filled back up and there are no bubbles present in the sight glass. (The reason for checking whether the sight glass fills up is to determine if the system was overcharged in the initial charging process.) Perform the sub-cooling measurement process again. If the amount of sub-cooling is between 1˚ to 8˚F the system is charged correctly and there are no non-condensables in the system. Remove the insulation and temperature sensor (if there was a piece of paper installed over the air inlet of the condenser coil, remove that was well). If the sub-cooling remains at 10˚F or higher, this system has non-condensables in it. All refrigerant will then need to be recovered and the evacuation and charging process must be re-performed.
Disconnecting Refrigerant Manifold Gauge Set from the Condensing Unit
Rotate the valve stems on the liquid line king and suction line service valves counter clockwise until the stem stops. The valve is now in the back seated position. Disconnect the refrigerant hoses from the service valves. Re-install the service caps as well as the valve stem caps on each of the valves. Tighten the valve stem caps on each using a crescent wrench.

LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM
The CellarCool Series cooling units come equipped with a liquid temperature measuring thermostat. This incorporates the following advantages:
Self-Calibrating Bottle Probe
The bottle probe contains a sensor chip, which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting and accuracy.
1. Wine should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity.
2. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will operate 75–80% of the time.
Setting Up The Bottle Probe:
1. Locate an empty wine bottle.
2. Fill ¾ full with room temperature tap water.
3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle as seen in Figure 1.
4. Place bottle with probe level and to the side of the unit in your wine cellar.
5. To assure a consistent temperature, place bottle probe approximately 3 feet
away from the air output and not in the flow of the air.
It is recommended that the bottle be placed in a central location of your wine cellar. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord. It may become
disconnected resulting in limited functionality of the unit.
Note: The thermostat can be set between 50–67°F.
Remember: The CellarCool unit operates based on the temperature of the water.
Do not be misled by thermostats reading air temperature. The air temperature in the cellar will be cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it is reaching optimum balanced temperature.

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.
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. 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 parameters are set at Con 40 min/Cof 10 min. 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. The customer can adjust these parameters to maintain the desired Bottle temperature.

SYSTEM OPERATION WITH CELLARCOOL CONTROLLER
Initial Start-Up:
When power is applied to the unit, the control will briey display all symbols, and the Snowake Symbol will be displayed (if unit is calling for cooling) fan symbol is displayed and the fan symbol will be displayed. There may be a brief delay prior to the evaporator fan turning on.
Set Point:
The set point is set from the factory (CellarCool) at 55°. It can be adjusted by the customer between 50° and 70° in one degree increments.
Cooling Operation:
Cooling is activated once the Air Probe senses a temperature that is 4° greater than the set point. The controller then energizes the Solenoid Coil which activates the Solenoid Valve(s). The unit provides cooling until the Air Probe senses the set point. At this point the Solenoid Coil is de-energized, suction pressure drops below 5 psig and the Low Pressure Switch kills power to the compressor. If the FON function is enabled the evaporator fan will continue to run for 1-15 minutes to re-evaporate any moisture from the evaporator coil.
Low Ambient Conditions
If the condensing unit is installed outside (which will allow the condenser to be exposed to low ambient temperatures), the condenser fan may cycle on and o. The purpose of the fan cycling is to maintain the system high side pressure, which will ensure an adequate refrigeration process.
Bottle Probe Failure Protection In the event that a Bottle probe should fail, the APST (Ad­vance Product Safety Technology) will automatically transi­tion the Refrigeration cycle to a pre-determined time series (based on detailed laboratory testing), which will ensure that the product is kept within the safe range.
Remote Control Panel Keypad
The remote keypad is designed to give the user the ability to monitor and change cellar conditions.
Humidity Features:
The FON parameter can be increased to allow the evaporator fan to run for a longer period of time after the compressor turns o, allowing moisture to be re-evaporated into the cellar.
Anti Short Cycle
The Anti Short Cycle ensures that the unit will remain o for a period of 5 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 a defrost cycle every 4 hours. During the defrost cycle, the indoor fan will provide air ow across the indoor coil, which will evaporate any frost accumulation.

ACCESSORIES FOR COOLING UNITS
CellarCool offers accessories to enhance and customize your wine cooling unit.
Condensate Pump Kit
The condensate pump kit is designed as an automatic condensate removal pump for water dripping out of our evaporator units’ drain line. The pump is controlled by a float/switch mechanism that turns the pump on when approximately 2-1/4” of water collects in the tank, and automatically switches off when the tank drains to approximately 1-1/4”. The condensate pump kit allows the excess condensate to be pumped up to 20ft away from the unit.

1. allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

3. Maintenance Requirements
The End User is responsible for checking the coils on the condenser unit and vacuuming them every three months to maintain them free of debris. It is the End User’s responsibility to clean o any accumulated dust, lint, or other debris from the front and rear intake grills; failure to do this on a regular basis will restrict the airow and may aect the Product’s ability to function properly. Periodically cleaning the Product’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.
Mold is a natural living organism in the environment. It exists in the air in the form of microscopic spores that move in and out of buildings through doors, windows, vents, HVAC systems and anywhere else that air enters. Once it is discovered, mold must be addressed quickly and appropriately. Delayed or improper treatment of mold issues can result in costly and reoccurring repairs. If the End User suspects a mold problem, it is always best to hire a qualied and experienced mold remediation specialist.
4. Additional End User Costs And Responsibilities

1. After evaluation by a certied HVAC/R technician and the Product is found to be un-repairable in the eld,

The original condenser skid must be returned within 21 days to CellarCool for failure analysis. If the Installation Checklist is approved and the failure is evaluated as defective and not installation error or other reason, the End User will be refunded for the cost of the replacement skid.
2. If the Product failure is evaluated and it is determined that it is an installation error or other reason, all costs,
including shipping will be the responsibility of the End User.
