allow air to leak into the cellar.
It is important that all walls, joints, doors and windows, electrical outlets
and/or switches, pipes, vents and light fixtures be sealed to prevent air and
moisture from entering the cellar. If there is a leak in the cellar, the cooling unit will
build up excess condensation.
CellarPro 4200 cooling units are equipped with a condensate management system,
which includes a stainless steel pan, a thermostatically-controlled electric heating
element, and an overflow drain at the rear of the cooling unit.
We strongly recommend that the overflow drain line (shipped loose with the
cooling unit) be connected to the overflow drain (as shown in the installation
section), and that the cooling unit be mounted to tilt slightly backwards, so that
any overflow condensate is channeled safely to the overflow drain line. In addition,
we recommend turning on the electric heating element to burn off excess
condensate that accumulates in the stainless steel pan during the initial cooling of
the cellar and during high run-times, as well as in high-humidity environments.
 Fan Speeds
Your fan speed setting will depend on the thermal load on the wine cellar, and
the resulting BTU that is required to cool and maintain your wine cellar at the
desired temperature.
 Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is critically important for the proper operation of your
CellarPro cooling unit.

Condenser Air Exhaust. CellarPro 4200 Series cooling units create significant hot
air which must be exhausted into an appropriately-sized space in order for the
heat to dissipate. If the space is constrained and/or too small, the heat will not
dissipate. In this event, the cooling unit will be forced to re-circulate its hot air
exhaust and/or the static pressure will back up the cooling unit. If this happens,
the cooling unit’s ability to create cold air inside the cellar will be compromised.
Condenser Air Intake. The condenser coils require access to cool air in order
for the cooling unit to produce cold air. In addition, the cooling unit must be
installed so that, after its installation, the condenser coils are accessible for
periodic cleaning or replacing of the filter.
