NOTE TO CUSTOMER
Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit. Our main goals are customer satisfaction and providing the best wine storage solutions on the market. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-343-9463 or info@whisperkool.com.
It is mandatory that you DO NOT plug in or start your new
WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit for 24 hours after its delivery.
Units are sometimes placed on their side during shipping, which might cause compressor oil to escape the reservoir. Starting the unit before the oil has had a chance to settle again can cause damage to the compressor and negatively aect cooling.
A dedicated 20 amp circuit is highly recommended for optimum operation. Tripped breakers and decient performance may occur if other devices are pulling power from the same circuit.
Do not use a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) with this product. The cooling unit will draw more amperage than the GFI will allow.
It is recommended that you plug your unit into a surge protector or power conditioner. Just like with any sensitive electrical equipment, the unit’s circuitry may be damaged by power surges and spikes — which are not covered by the warranty.

LIQUID MEASURING THERMOMETER
By measuring the temperature of the liquid, the temperature reading will be consistent and the unit will only run when it needs to.
To Install the Thermostat:
1. Fill an empty wine bottle to its neck with room temperature water.
2. Press bottle probe securely into bottle.
3. Place the bottle with probe into a level rack space. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord as it may become disconnected, which would lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
The WhisperKOOL system is based on the temperature of the wine (It is ideal to place the probed bottle mid way in the racking, so that it is not near cold supply air). Do not be misled by ambient temperatures that are read from the outside of the cabinet. The air temperature in the cabinet will be
cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it’s coming to optimum balanced temperature.

SYSTEM OPERATION WHISPERKOOL 2500
Initial Start-Up
When the unit is rst turned on, the control will briey display all symbols and the green snowake symbol will appear if the unit is calling for cooling. There may be a brief delay prior to the evaporator fan turning on, as it will not start until the probe temperature drops to below 70°F. When the fan is activated, the fan symbol will be displayed. The Advance Product Safety Technology (APST) ensures that in the possible event of a cooling deciency, the heat from the in-cabinet fan will not raise the temperature of the wine cellar, which could otherwise have an adverse eect on the wine aging process.
Normal System Cycle
After the bottle probe has reached the set point (all units are shipped with the set point of 55°F and a dierential of 1 degree), the compressor and the condenser fan will turn o, but the in-cabinet evaporator fan will continue to run for about 1 minute (This is a feature of the WhisperKOOL Humidity Management (WHM) system). The WHM is an adjustable feature that allows the customer the convenience of managing the humidity enhancement of their wine cellar. It is one of the many customer preference selection features that allow the customer the ability to ne-tune the controls.
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 in-cabinet fan will provide airow across the coil, which will evaporate any frost accumulation.
Bottle Probe Failure Protection
Should a bottle probe fail, the Advance Product Safety Technology (APST) will automatically transition the refrigeration compressor cycles to a pre-determined time series (based on laboratory testing), which will ensure that the temperature is kept within the safe range.
Control Panel
The Control Panel is designed to give the user the ability to monitor and change cellar conditions when the evaporating unit is placed in a remote location.

Ambient Temperature
The cooling system in the cabinet has the ability to cool a maximum of 20°F below the ambient temperature in the room. The optimal temperature for wine storage is 55°F, make sure that the temperature of the room in which the cabinet will be placed does not exceed 75°F.
To ensure a consistent temperature, make sure the room temperature does not dip below 55°F.
Ventilation
The cabinet must have adequate ventilation to allow the exhaust side of the cooling unit to operate correctly. As the unit cools on the inside, condensing refrigerant creates heat, which will need to dissipate away from the unit on the outside. Some units have an exhaust fan mounted on top of the cabinet, which forces air away from the unit vertically. In order to avoid disrupting the ventilation, do not place anything on top of the
cabinet.
Do Not Place Anything On Top of the Cabinet.
WhisperKOOL 2500 Cooling System:
If your cabinet is not equipped with a front vent, the unit must be placed in an open room.
Do not install in a cabinet
The rear of the unit should be placed about 2” from the wall.
There should be about 12” of clearance above the top of the unit and 6” of free space on each side. This will assure proper dissipation of heat and sustained cooling of your wines.

Once the high/low data history is displayed, it can be reset by holding the set button (“RST” will blink on the display). It will then erase the past recorded data le and start recording from the current time and temperature.
4. Press the “Set” and the “Down” buttons simultaneously for 3 to 5 seconds and you will access the customer preference selection menu. The menu allows the customer to tweak the control system to their applicable choice.
Customer Preference Selection Menu (CPSM)
To access the CPSM, press the “Set” and “Down” buttons simultaneously for 5-7 seconds. This will display “CF”, now press the “Set” and “Down” buttons simultaneously for another 5-7 seconds. The display will briey show “Pr2”, signifying you have accessed the CPSM.
The following CPSM options are available for adjustment: Fon — Humidity management: This parameter is normally set at 5, which should provide adequate relative humidity for the cellar.
An increase in this parameter will increase the humidity (%RH), and a decrease in the parameter will decrease humidity.
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 5. This parameter usually should not be adjusted, as it provides an o cycle time for the fan during the compressor o cycle.
CCS — Cellar Pre-Chill Set Point: This parameter is set at 52°F, but can be adjusted to a set point between 55°F and 67°F.
bLL/Act — Compressor o or on for low (bLL) or high (Act) temperature alarm: These parameters are set at “n.” With this parameter set at “n”, the refrigeration system will continue to operate normally if there is a high or low temperature alarm. To change this parameter, change the setting to “y”, and the compressor/refrigeration system will shut o during a high or low temperature alarm.

TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT
Remember, do not start or plug in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many units are placed on their sides during shipping, which may allow compressor oil to escape their reservoirs. Premature starting before the oil has had a chance to resettle can cause damage to the compressor and result in a lack of cooling.
Before you ll the cabinet with wine, you’ll want to check the operation of the unit. All cabinets successfully pass quality control at the Vinothèque facility.
Periodically a unit’s cooling system is damaged in transport. Simply turn the unit on for about one hour and conrm that the temperature is cooling down. This will prevent the inconvenience of stocking and restocking a damaged unit.
If the unit is not working correctly, contact Vinothèque’s customer service department at 1-800-343-9463. We will work with you to diagnose the problem and promptly resolve it.
LOADING BOTTLES AND COOL DOWN PERIOD
Loading Bottles
The cabinet may settle slightly based on the weight of all the bottles. It is best to spread the loading of bottles evenly throughout the cabinet, starting on the bottom rst. This will prevent the unit from shifting and potentially knocking the doors out of alignment.
Cool Down Period
When the time comes for you to begin loading wine bottles into your unit, there are some considerations to be made. The cabinet should be loaded in stages. We recommend 1/4 of the cabinet per day. This will allow the unit to achieve more rapid temperature stabilization. Loading all of the wine at once might overwhelm the cooling system.
During the cool down period, the system will run constantly, depending on the size of the collection. Slow cooling maintains correct humidity within the cabinet.
Page 10 | 1-800-343-9463
WK25 031114
Page 13
NORMAL OPERATION MAINTENANCE
The cooling unit will cycle on and o as needed once the temperature has stabilized and the initial “cool­down” has been completed. The condensate evaporator and temperature equalizer switches may be turned o for normal operation.
Thermostat: Should be 55°F or desired wine temperature.
Maintenance
WhisperKOOL recommends vacuuming of the condenser ns located in the rear of the cabinet every three months. A partially obstructed condenser dramatically reduces the eciency of the cooling unit.
Monthly:
— Check lters — Check for unusual noise or vibration
Quarterly:
— Clean lters o Remove the lter covering the coil o Wash with warm water o Dry o lter by shaking o excess water o Gently vaccum across the condenser ns behind the lter

Page 16
3. PRODUCT INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
a. Prior to installing a WhisperKOOL Product, the End User must read the WhisperKOOL Owner’s Manual and thereafter the End User must follow
the required installation, use and maintenance procedures set forth by WhisperKOOL in WhisperKOOL’s Owner’s Manual. The Owner’s Manual is shipped with each Product and if another copy is needed, replacement copies can be downloaded from WhisperKOOL’s website (www. whisperkool.com) or by contacting WhisperKOOL directly for a new copy of the Owner’s Manual.
b. It is highly recommended that the End User obtain the assistance of a wine storage professional. c. Failing to address all of the variables associated with proper installation will cause the Product to operate incorrectly and limit both the
Product’s ability to cool and the longevity of the Product itself.
d. The limited warranty card should be completed and promptly returned by the End User to WhisperKOOL to ensure limited warranty registration
and conrmation of date of purchase.
e. The End User is responsible for all risks and costs of installation of the Product, including but not limited to all labor costs as well as cost of any
additional parts required for the proper and complete installation of the Product. The End User is responsible for all risks and costs of removing the Product if limited warranty work is required.
f. The Product cannot operate at its optimum capacity if airow is constricted by ducting or venting the exhaust side of the Product into a
location with inadequate ventilation.
4. MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
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.
5. ADDITIONAL END USER RESPONSIBILITIES
The following items are not covered under any warranty and are the sole responsibility of the End User: a. End Users should satisfy themselves that the Product they are purchasing is suitable for their particular needs and requirements, and thus no
responsibility will be placed with WhisperKOOL for the End User’s decisions in this regard.
b. It is the End User’s responsibility to secure safe haven/storage for ANY AND ALL items that are being kept and stored in the End User’s wine
cellar, including any Product. WhisperKOOL takes no responsibility for the safety and preservation of the aforementioned items in the event that the environment becomes unsuitable to maintain a proper storage environment.
6. SALES AND USE TAX
WhisperKOOL only collects California sales tax for orders shipped within the State of California; WhisperKOOL does not collect sales tax for orders shipped to other states. However, the Purchaser and the End User may be liable to the taxing authority in their state for sales tax and/or use tax on the Product.
