Electrical Needs
The CellarCool System requires a dedicated 110-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 electri-
cian for assistance with the installation of this dedicated electrical circuit:
1. Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the CellarCool unit.
2. Provide a dedicated circuit and wiring for the unit.
Electrical Outlet
The unit is equipped with a twelve foot power cord located on the evaporator/cellar side of the unit, which comes standard on
all units. An optional rear/outside cellar power cord can be requested at an additional charge. Plug your CellarCool unit into
a surge protector or power conditioner. As with any sensitive electrical equipment, the CellarCool electrical equipment may be
damaged by power surges and spikes. Power surges and spikes are not covered in the CellarCool warranty.
WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT USE A GROUND FAULT INTERRUPTER (GFI) WITH THIS PRODUCT.
Testing Unit - Carefully remove your CellarCool unit from the box. Do not destroy your packaging material, as it
provides the only safe means of transporting the unit. Place the CellarCool system on a tabletop to prepare it for
installation and testing. Plug system into a live electrical outlet and turn unit on. The system may take up to 10 to
15 minutes before operating correctly, meaning all four fans are running. Cold air coming out on cellar side, hot
air coming out on exhaust side. Once the operation has been tested, turn the unit off, and unplug the unit from the
electrical outlet.*
* Note: If the system does not seem to be fully functional after 15 minutes, please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 13.
Units weigh 50-101 pounds and are cumbersome for one person to carry. We recommend that you get someone else to help
you during the installation process. NEVER LAY UNIT ON ITS SIDE.
