Electrical Needs
The WhisperKOOL Extreme System requires a dedicated 115-volt 20-amp circuit. The unit draws a large amount
of amps at initial start up. By designating a dedicated circuit breaker, you will guarantee the unit has enough power
to run effectively. Contact an electrician for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit:
•
Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the WhisperKOOL unit.
•
Provide a dedicated circuit and wiring for the unit.
•
Provide a weatherproof plug for units connected outside.
Plug your WhisperKOOL unit into a surge protector or power conditioner. As with any sensitive electrical equipment,
the WhisperKOOL electrical equipment may be damaged by power surges and spikes. Power surges and spikes are
not covered under warranty.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT.
Electrical Inlets
The unit is equipped with two power inlets: One is located on the right side of the unit; (inside the cellar) the other is
located on the rear of the unit (outside of the cellar). Use the selector switch located on the right side of the unit to
select which power inlet you would like to utilize. (Meaning if you would like to plug the unit into a socket outside
of the cellar, set the selector switch to rear; if you would like to plug the unit into a socket inside of the cellar, set the
selector switch to the front position. When placed in either position power can only enter the unit utilizing the power
inlet you’ve selected.)
In case the unit should lose power, check the home/main circuit breaker. If the unit does not respond properly, refer
to the Troubleshooting section on page 39.
