CellarPro Wine Cellar Modification Retrofit Kit

The kit you have received will allow you to modify your CP 1800 unit and add a condensate
drain line. The Wine Cellar Modification provides a fitting and condensate tube at the back of the
cooling unit to relieve excess moisture that may condense inside the cooling unit. For
installations in warm environments and/or cellars without airtight seals, we strongly recommend
this modification. However, the modification does not replace the requirement for a cellar to
have proper insulation, moisture barriers and airtight seals from the environment outside the
cellar.

Steps for the Retrofit:

1. Remove the plastic plug on the lower left side of the rear of the unit.

2. With the tap, cut threads in the metal as follows:
a. Put the tap into a tap wrench and tighten it
b. Put the tap into the opening and turn it clockwise several turns. Check to make

sure it is straight and level

c. Continue turning until the tap goes through the hole

3. Screw the condensate fitting into the opening, using caulk or Teflon tape. Do not over-

tighten.

4. Attach the drain line
 The tube must have a trap that is slightly filled with water (shown below). The

drain line should drop, then rise (but stay below the height of the fitting), and then
drop again into a drain or bucket. Then, fill the trap with water.

 The condensate trap will allow any excess moisture inside the cooling unit to

overcome the static pressure and flow out of the drain line.
