Koolspace Wine Cooling System

100 - 300 - 600 - 900

INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL

~3~

READ BEFORE YOU START

Koolspace wine cooling units must be installed precisely as directed in the Manual.

DO NOT attempt to install this unit before reading the Manual!

1.

NEVER Install this unit through an exterior wall, NEVER to OUTDOORS! (Units must ventilate to an adjacent
INTERIOR space, Warm air vents must be completely unobstructed).

2.

DO NOT modify or handle the digital Sensor (incased in vinyl cap on back of unit). The Sensor will read and
respond to changes in AIR temperature in the enclosure. DO NOT attempt to modify the sensor to read liquid
temperature.

3.

Install the unit in an enclosure where ALL surfaces (walls, oor and ceiling) are insulated to R-20 and protected
by vapor barrier on both sides.

4.

Uninsulated concrete oors will radiate heat and humidity during summer months, forcing the unit to work
harder than necessary, the life of unit will be shortened, and will produce EXCESS CONDENSATION.

5.

Install the unit in a location where the condenser (warm side) coil is accessible for periodic vacuuming of the
condensor coil. (See troubleshooting for details.)

6.

Outlet power must be a DEDICATED separately fused and grounded 15-Amp 115 Volt line. Line must not be
shared with any other outlet or appliance. (Insufcient voltage will cause the unit not to run, compressor may
not start, and the LED display may be corrupted).

7.

Extension cord must be must be rated for at least 15 Amps if one is required.

8.

Electronic controller must also be protected against sudden power surges. Koolspace wine cooling systems may
be damaged by power surges or spikes, sudden interruptions or prolonged low-voltage conditions.

9.

You must monitor your unit DAILY. If unit is in “Alarm”, unplug the unit immediately. Always check for any wa­ter (condensate) leaks. (Check troubleshooting section)

10.

Koolspace TM will not be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages. (See Warranty).

11.

This unit is not designed for COMMERCIAL USE. Such usage will void any warranty. In addition, Third party ser­vicing of these units during the warranty period will void the warranty.

12.

Select a suitable area, sized appropriate to the model’s capacity, in a location where ambient temperature will
not exceed the desired storage temperature by more than 25ºF (14ºC).

13.

This appliance is for INDOOR USE ONLY, and must not be vented into a laundry closet or similar room which traps
warm air.

14.

The unit must vent to an adjacent INTERIOR VENTILATED SPACE CLOSE TO THE CEILING. Exhaust air must not be
obstructed in any way.

15.

The temperature of the air in the immediate area where the unit vents its warm air must never exceed 80ºF
with 70% R.H. (non-condensing). Operating temperatures are: Outside of wine cellar: min. 65ºF (18ºC) Max. 80ºF
(26ºC) / Inside of wine cellar: min. 52ºF (11ºC) Max. 70ºF (21ºC)

WARNING: Lower SET TEMPERATURE FROM DEFAULT 57ºF (14ºC) only if ambient conditions allow. A lower set temp
can cause water overow in high humidity conditions.

SPECIAL NOTE: THIS COOLING UNIT IS CONSTRUCTED FOR INSTALLATION IN WALLS UP TO 7 1/2” INCHES
THICK. IF YOU INSTALL IT IN A THICKER WALL YOU WILL HAVE TO CUT OUT AN AREA AROUND THE AIR VENTS

IN ORDER NOT TO BLOCK THE AIRFLOW.

SILICONE CAULKING

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION

Koolspace chillR is the only unit that allows for isolating the studs against noise and vibration when installed as directed.

RECOMMENDED

OVER THE DOOR

SEAL

Seal corners, joints, gaps,
vents, electrical outlets and
switches, and especially
around door and frame.

Pack larger gaps with insula­tion. Seal all with silicone
caulking.

INSULATION

Floor, ceiling and all walls of the enclosure must be
insulated to minimum R-20 rating, although R-30 is

recommended.

Best material is foil-backed urethane foam, sealed at
all joints with thermal tape.

Build a proper sub-oor with vapor barrier, and insulate
to at least R-20, especially if oor is concrete.

POWER SUPPLY:

This appliance must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations.
Do not use if power cord is damaged; it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or by a qualied
person to avoid a hazard. Plug must remain accessible after installation.

Electrical service must be a dedicated, separately fused and grounded 15 Amp, 115V line.
Do not share the circuit with any other appliance. If extension cord must be used, it must be rated for 15 Amps. Test line

voltage BEFORE operating, and do not use if line voltage is less than 105V. The unit must be protected against power surges
and spikes: use a good quality surge suppressor.
