Thank you for purchasing a WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit. Our main goals are customer satisfaction and
providing the best wine storage solutions on the market. If you have any questions or comments, please feel
It is mandatory that you DO NOT plug in or start your new
WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit for 24 hours after its delivery.
Units are sometimes placed on their side during shipping, which might cause compressor oil to escape the
reservoir. Starting the unit before the oil has had a chance to settle again can cause damage to the compressor
and negatively aect cooling.
A dedicated 20 amp circuit is highly recommended for optimum operation. Tripped
breakers and decient performance may occur if other devices are pulling power from the
same circuit.
Do not use a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) with this product. The cooling unit will draw more
amperage than the GFI will allow.
It is recommended that you plug your unit into a surge protector or power conditioner. Just like with any
sensitive electrical equipment, the unit’s circuitry may be damaged by power surges and spikes — which are
not covered by the warranty.
NOTE TO CUSTOMER

By measuring the temperature of the liquid, the temperature reading will be consistent and the unit will only
run when it needs to.
To Install the Thermostat:
1. Fill an empty wine bottle to its neck with room temperature water.
2. Press bottle probe securely into bottle.
3. Place the bottle with probe into a level rack space. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord as it may
become disconnected, which would lead to inaccurate temperature readings.
The WhisperKOOL system is based on the temperature of the wine (It is ideal to place the probed
bottle mid way in the racking, so that it is not near cold supply air). Do not be misled by ambient
temperatures that are read from the outside of the cabinet. The air temperature in the cabinet will be
cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it’s coming to optimum balanced temperature.

SYSTEM OPERATION WHISPERKOOL 2500
Initial Start-Up
When the unit is rst turned on, the control will briey display all symbols and the green snowake symbol
will appear if the unit is calling for cooling. There may be a brief delay prior to the evaporator fan turning on,
as it will not start until the probe temperature drops to below 70°F. When the fan is activated, the fan symbol
will be displayed. The Advance Product Safety Technology (APST) ensures that in the possible event of a
cooling deciency, the heat from the in-cabinet fan will not raise the temperature of the wine cellar, which
could otherwise have an adverse eect on the wine aging process.
Normal System Cycle
After the bottle probe has reached the set point (all units are shipped with the set point of 55°F and a
dierential of 1 degree), the compressor and the condenser fan will turn o, but the in-cabinet evaporator
fan will continue to run for about 1 minute (This is a feature of the WhisperKOOL Humidity Management
(WHM) system). The WHM is an adjustable feature that allows the customer the convenience of managing
the
humidity enhancement of their wine cellar. It is one of the many customer preference selection features that
allow the customer the ability to ne-tune the controls.
Anti-Frost Cycle
The Anti-Frost Cycle is a precautionary measure, as icing or frosting of the coil does not occur during normal
operation. The system will go through a defrost cycle every 4 hours. During the defrost cycle, the in-cabinet
fan will provide airow across the coil, which will evaporate any frost accumulation.
Bottle Probe Failure Protection
Should a bottle probe fail, the Advance Product Safety Technology (APST) will automatically transition the
refrigeration compressor cycles to a pre-determined time series (based on laboratory testing), which will
ensure that the temperature is kept within the safe range.
Control Panel
The Control Panel is designed to give the user the ability to monitor and change cellar conditions when the
evaporating unit is placed in a remote location.

SYSTEM OPERATION WHISPERKOOL 2500 CONT.
Ambient Temperature
The cooling system in the cabinet has the ability to cool a maximum of 20°F below the ambient temperature
in the room. The optimal temperature for wine storage is 55°F, make sure that the temperature of the room in
which the cabinet will be placed does not exceed 75°F.
To ensure a consistent temperature, make sure the room temperature does not dip below 55°F.
Ventilation
The cabinet must have adequate ventilation to allow the exhaust side of the cooling unit to operate correctly.
As the unit cools on the inside, condensing refrigerant creates heat, which will need to dissipate away from
the unit on the outside. Some units have an exhaust fan mounted on top of the cabinet, which forces air away
from the unit vertically. In order to avoid disrupting the ventilation, do not place anything on top of the
cabinet.
Do Not Place Anything On Top of the Cabinet.
WhisperKOOL 2500 Cooling System:
• If your cabinet is not equipped with a front vent, the unit must be placed in an open room.
• Do not install in a cabinet
• The rear of the unit should be placed about 2” from the wall.
• There should be about 12”of clearance above the top of the unit and 6”of free space on each side. This will
assure proper dissipation of heat and sustained cooling of your wines.
Top Venting (Standard) Do not place anything on
top the cabinet

Button Functions
ON/OFF • The ON/OFF button turns the refrigeration system on or o. This feature does not
disconnect power from the unit. The condenser fan will continue to run in the OFF
position. In order for the power to be shut o from the unit, the power cord must be
unplugged from the wall.
Up and Down
buttons
• Use these buttons to scroll through the control panel menu.
• These also display the highest and lowest temperature sensed by the bottle probe. This
feature allows the customer instant access to the recorded data applicable to the bottle
probe temperatures. It can be easily reset to reect current temperatures.
1. Press the“Up” arrow, or the “Down” arrow once, and the highest or lowest temperature
(Hi/Lo) sensed by the bottle probe will be displayed.
2. To reset the Hi/Low, press and hold the“Set” button when the Hi/Low value is displayed
on the digital display, continue to hold the “Set” button until “RST” appears on the digital
display and then blinks. This will erase the past recorded temperature data history and
start recording from the current time and temperature forward. Temperatures displayed
would reect bottle probe temperatures from that point in time and beyond.
3. The Hi/Low feature should be reset at initial start-up and after the cellar or cabinet has
obtained normal operating temperatures — generally 55°F.
Cellar Pre-Chill • Activate the Cellar Pre-Chill feature by pressing the “Up”button for 3 to 5 seconds, and
the CPC logo (a yellow snowake inside a semi-circle) will be displayed on the digital
display.
Terminate the CPC by pressing the “Up”button again for 3 to 5 seconds or the feature will
self-terminate after 6 hours.
1. The CPC feature may be used to pre-chill the cellar prior to loading it with warm bottles.
The feature will shift the set point down to a lower setting of 52°F for the next 6 hours.
After the 6-hour time period, the set point will automatically return to the original set
point.

To access the CPSM, press the “Set” and “Down” buttons simultaneously for 5-7 seconds.
This will display“CF”, now press the“Set” and “Down” buttons simultaneously for another
5-7 seconds. The display will briey show“Pr2”, signifying you have accessed the CPSM.
The following CPSM options are available for adjustment:
Fon — Humidity management: This parameter is normally set at 5, which should provide
adequate relative humidity for the cellar.
• An increase in this parameter will increase the humidity (%RH), and a decrease in
the parameter will decrease humidity.
• Adjustments should be made in increments of 5, with a maximum of 15, and a
minimum of 0.
• After any adjustment to Humidity Enhancement, you should wait a minimum of
three days before making any additional adjustments. This will allow the cellar
sucient time to acclimate to the new setting.
Fof — Humidity Management Enhancement: This parameter is normally set at 5. This
parameter usually should not be adjusted, as it provides an o cycle time for the fan
during the compressor o cycle.
CCS — Cellar Pre-Chill Set Point: This parameter is set at 52°F, but can be adjusted to a set
point between 55°F and 67°F.
bLL/Act — Compressor o or on for low (bLL) or high (Act) temperature alarm: These
parameters are set at “n.”With this parameter set at“n”, the refrigeration system will
continue to operate normally if there is a high or low temperature alarm. To change this
parameter, change the setting to “y”, and the compressor/refrigeration system will shut o
during a high or low temperature alarm.
