FAN SPEED REFERENCE
(Extreme 5000ti or 5000tiR)
UNIT SPECIFICATION
Your fan speed selection will depend on the amount of heat that needs to be removed from the cellar, as well
as the application of the unit (Thru the Wall Installation or Ducted). If the unit is going to be ducted you would
need to use the highest fan speed (The higher fan speed is designed to support the reduction in airow created
by the ductwork) For the thru the wall application, the fan speed selection will depend on the cellar size, insula-
tion factor, door seal and desired wine temperature. When initially installing the unit, set the fan speed to the
highest setting for a quick chill down. Once the temperature of the cellar reaches the desired temperature, you
may be able to select a lower fan speed to handle the normal load. In the event the temperature outside goes
above 90 degrees, (when exhausting to the outside) you may need to select the higher fan speed.

INTRODUCTION
Customer Service
Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL Extreme Series cooling unit. We strive to provide the highest quality prod-
ucts and the best possible customer service. If you have any questions about your WhisperKOOL unit, please call us
at 1(800) 343-9463.
Using the Manual
This User’s Manual is intended to assist in the proper installation and maintenance of the WhisperKOOL Extreme
cooling system. In order to ensure the longevity of your cooling unit, the equipment should be installed properly and
have a proper care and maintenance schedule. Please read and review this manual carefully and keep it for future
reference.
What Is the WhisperKOOL Extreme Series Cooling System?
The WhisperKOOL Extreme Series system is a specialized refrigeration unit designed for one purpose only: to main-
tain the optimal temperature and humidity levels conducive to the proper storage and aging of ne wines. It is a
self-contained cooling unit designed to be used as a forced-air through-the-wall unit or as a remote mount unit with
external ductwork connections.
How Does the WhisperKOOL Extreme Series Work?
The WhisperKOOL Extreme Series cooling system is especially designed for the use and application to maintain opti-
mal conditions for wine storage and aging. The system is fully self-contained and can be installed as a “Thru-The-Wall’
application, or the unit is capable of an even more exible “Ducted” application, which allows the unit to be placed in
an indoor remote site, resulting in a quiet airow. The standard “Through-the-Wall” and ducted units are temperature
controlled via a bottle probe, and the ducted system comes standard with a remote key board that can be located up
to 50 ft from the cooling system (Note: Remote Unit comes standard with a 50 ft bottle probe and 50 ft. of cable for
the remote keypad, additional lengths are optional).
Temperature Setting
The WhisperKOOL Extreme unit can be set at any temperature within the acceptable wine-aging range of 50°F to
67°F. It is designed to cool up to 55°F cooler than the ambient temperature of the space to which it is exhausting.

RECEIVING & INSPECTING THE UNIT
Page 9
QUICK START GUIDE
This guide is meant to serve as a quick reference for installation of the WhisperKOOL unit. The
remainder of this Owner’s Manual will provide more detailed information and instructions.
Upon receiving the WhisperKOOL unit:
1. Inspect the unit before installation. If damage is found, please contact your distributor or
WhisperKOOL Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext 799.
2. The unit should remain in an upright position for 24 hours prior to operation.
3. The WhisperKOOL unit requires a dedicated 120-volt 20-amp circuit. Use a surge protector with
the WhisperKOOL unit. Do not use a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) line.
4. For your convenience, the Whisperkool unit has two power inlets, one on the side of the unit and the
other on the back. Use the selector switch, located on the right side of the unit, to select the inlet
you would like to use.
5. The unit is designed to gently cool down the temperature of the cellar over time by cycling cooler
and cooler air throughout. Test the unit prior to installation. Operate unit for twenty minutes.
While the unit is running and working properly, the air discharged from the front should be 10 -
15°F cooler than the air in the room. This means that in an environment where the air is 80°F, the
unit will discharge air that is 65-70°F.
6. It is REQUIRED to install a drain line to remove excess condensation from the unit.
7. The WhisperKOOL unit is intended for use in properly designed and constructed wine cellars.
Hire a professional wine storage consultant with a valid contractor’s license to build your wine
cellar. Refer to the “How to Build a Wine Cellar” video available on the Whisperkool website at www.
whisperkool.com.
8. Install the foam strips along the inside edge of the unit’s flange to assure a proper seal against the wall.
Never try to open the WhisperKool unit, repair it yourself, or use a service company without
WhisperKool’s authorization. This will void your warranty.
If you encounter a problem with your WhisperKool unit, please refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide on pages 34-35. If you have any further questions, concerns, or need assistance, please
contact WhisperKool Customer Service at 1.800.343.9463 ext. 799. Please be sure all testing has
been completed prior to contacting Customer Service. Please have your results ready for your
representative.

The performance and life of your WhisperKOOL unit are contingent upon the steps you take in preparing the
wine cellar.
Note: Improperly preparing your enclosure or incorrectly installing your WhisperKOOL unit may cause unit fail-
ure, leaking of condensation, and other negative side eects.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU OBTAIN THE ASSISTANCE OF A
WINE STORAGE PROFESSIONAL.
Wine storage professionals work with licensed contractors, refrigeration technicians, and racking companies to
build well-insulated, beautiful, and protective wine cellars. WhisperKOOL has put together some useful tips to
assist in the installation process. Our recommendations are meant to act as a guide in the process of building a
proper enclosure. Your intended location may have specic needs that we do not address.
Wall & Ceiling Framing
Build wine cellar walls using standard 2x4 or 2x6 construction methods and ceiling joists following the guide-
lines of local and state codes in your area. As a general rule, the thicker the walls and the higher the insulation
value in your cellar, the better it will be at maintaining a consistent temperature.
Insulation
Insulation is REQUIRED with the use of the WhisperKOOL product. Standard berglass or rigid foam insulation
is normally used in cellar construction or, in some cases, “blown-in” insulation is used. It is very important that all
walls and ceilings are insulated to keep the cellar temperature as consistent as possible during the summer and
winter months. The R-value, or quality of insulation, is determined by the rate at which heat passes through the
insulation. The higher the R-value, the more resistant the insulation is to conducting heat. Using higher R-values
in insulation will lower your operating costs and unit run time.
Vapor Barrier
Vapor Barrier is REQUIRED to prevent the intrusion of water vapor so that the cellar can be kept at the correct
temperature and humidity. 6 mm plastic sheeting (recommended) should be applied to the warm side of the
cellar walls. The vapor barrier must also be applied to the outside walls and ceiling. If it is impossible to reach
the outside, then the plastic must be applied from within the cellar. The most common method is to wrap the
entire interior, leaving the plastic loose in the stud cavity so the insulation can be placed between each stud. All
of the walls and ceiling must be wrapped in plastic for a complete vapor barrier.
In areas of high humidity, such as Southern and Gulf States, the vapor barrier will prevent inltration of warm
moist air. The moist air can cause mold to form, and standing water in drain pans promote microbial and fungal
growth that cause unpleasant odors and indoor air quality problems. If mold is found, remove it immediately
and sanitize that portion of the unit.
