General Duct Recommendation
�
Support the flexible duct often to prevent sags or bends.
�
Stretch the duct to make for a smoother interior with less air resistance.
�
For a 90-degree bend, insert a metal elbow inside the flexible duct to avoid crimping.
�
Do not squeeze or reduce the inside diameter of the ducts. This restricts the
airflow.
�
Use short and straight ductwork.
�
Review the configuration schematic on the Overview Sketch on page 12 for
information about which panels are available for duct connections and service.
�
Remove the panels or grilles from the openings to connect the ductwork.
�
Check that all the fan blades move freely.
�
Check for loose foreign objects in any of the air paths.
�
Connect the round flexible ducts to the Wine Guardian using the duct collars that are
provided with the duct accessory kit.
�
Pull the outer plastic wrapping and insulation away from the end of the duct to
expose the reinforced inside duct liner.
�
Use tie straps of clamp around the inside liner to fasten the duct collar.
Do not clamp around the outside insulation. It compresses and loosens over time.
�
Secure the duct collar to the unit using the screws provided. Be careful not to damage or
bend the gasket.
Using Ductwork
Cold Air to/from Wine Cellar
�
Connect the supply air ductwork from the cellar to the supply air duct collar at the
Wine Guardian unit.
�
Connect the return air ductwork from the cellar to the return air duct collar at the
Wine Guardian unit.
Warm Air to/from Condenser
�
Connect ductwork on the condenser to direct heat and the air noise away from occupants.
�
Connect ductwork to another space within the basement or to the outdoors if the heat being
exhausted is undesirable.
