LOCATION:
Appliance is for indoor use only. Never vent into a laundry closet or similar room which traps warm air. Unit
must vent to an adjacent interior ventilated space close
to the ceiling. Exhaust air must not be obstructed in any
way.
TEMPERATURES:
Select a suitable area, sized to model’s cooling capacity,
where ambient temperature will not exceed the desired
storage temperature by more than 25ºF (14ºC). The
temperature of the air where the unit vents its warm air
must be at least 65ºF and never exceed 80ºF with 70%
R.H. Lower set temperature from default 57ºF (14ºC)
only if ambient condition allows.
Set temperature range: 52ºF - 64ºF (11ºC - 18ºC)
INSULATION:
Install unit where ALL surfaces (walls, oor and ceiling)
are insulated to R-20 and protected by vapor barrier on
both sides. Uninsulated concrete oors will radiate heat
and humidity during summer months, forcing the unit to
work inefciently. All oors must be INSULATED! Use an
insulated door with weather seal.
POWER:
Outlet (on cool side) power must be a dedicated separately fused grounded 15-Amp 115 Volt line within reach of
supplied power cord (Europe; 10-Amp 220 Volt). Line
must not be shared. Do not use extension cords.
Electronics must be protected against sudden power
surges. Use a quality surge protector.
SPECIAL NOTE:
This unit is constructed for installation in walls up to 6
1/2” inches thick. If you install it in a thicker wall you will
have to cut out an area around the air vents on the cool
side in order to keep cool airow unobstructed. Order
longer screws at www.koolrproducts.com.

VAPOR BARRIER :
SEAL :
POWER SUPPLY :
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 a vapor
barrier, and insulate to at least R-20, especially if oor is concrete. Use an insulated door.
All surfaces of the enclosure must be protected by a proper vapor barrier, ideally on both inside and outside of wine/
pantry room.
Seal corners, joints, gaps, vents, electrical outlets and switches, and especially around door and frame. Pack larger
gaps with insulation. Seal all seams with silicone caulking. Seal drywall with odorless waterproof paint.
This unit 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 qualied 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
(Europe; 10-Amp 220 Volt). 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.

• If temperature is above default 57º F + 1º or other preset value, after a delay of 1
minute fan will start, followed by compressor in next minute.
• Unit will cycle ON/OFF based on temperature reading. Fan speeds are automatically
set by controller to achieve optimum performance.
• Minimum ON and OFF cycle times are imposed by software, to prevent “short cycling”.
