EVAPORATOR PREPARATION

1. With the unit unpacked, remove caps from the rear copper lines. - DO NOT DISCARD

2. Place both the 3/8 and 1/4 copper couplings on the exposed lines.

3. Insert the supplied 10” copper lines into the couplings.

Note: Place a wet rag around the copper tubes near the rubber grommet located at the rear of the evaporator

housing. Be sure to clear the power cord and drain line from brazing area.

4. Braze each lines coupling and 10” copper line extension. - This is a good point to check for leaks.

5. Place the caps removed in step 1 onto the ends of the lines to avoid debris from entering the line set.

6. Insert brass drain line connector into the drain line at the rear of the unit.

7. Connect the 10 foot drain line to the opposite side of the connector.

8. Now remove the (8) Phillips head screws holding the side panel on the supply side of the unit, set side panel and screws aside.

9. With the panel removed locate the bottle probe connector inside the unit.

10. Insert bottle probe connector through the opening on the rear panel.

11. Connect the bottle probe connectors and place the connection back in side the housing.

12. Install the supplied strain relief onto the probe wire outside of the unit (give 1-2” of slack inside of the unit). Now simply insert
the strain relief into the probe line hole.

13. Set unit aside.

INSTALLING THE EVAPORATOR

Note: The evaporator mounting plate is designed to be placed on (2) standard 16” spaced wall studs.

1. Locate the (2) desired wall studs. Mark your center line for the studs vertically on the wall, should be 14.5 inches apart, followed
by a level horizontal line at your desired height.

Note: The top of the unit needs to be installed with a minimum of 6 inches and maximum of 18 inches from the ceiling.

2. Drill (2) 5/32” pilot holes for the top mounting screws.

3. Place the mounting plate on the wall and screw in the top (2) #14 screws.

4. Drill the (4) other 5/32” pilot holes, followed by screwing in (4) #14 screws.

5. Cut a 3 x 3.75 inch access hole for routing the line set, power cord , and drain line (use the diagram to the left for hole place­ment).

6. The wall is now ready to have the Evaporator installed, place the prepared unit below the install location.

Note: During installation WhisperKOOL recommends elevating the unit close to the install height.

7. Feed the power cord and drain line through the
access hole, leaving the bottle probe inside the
cellar.
