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 free to contact us at 1.800.343.9463 or info@whisperkool.com.
It is mandatory that you DO NOT plug in or start
your new WhisperKOOL wine cabinet unit
cabinet 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 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
Customer Service - 1.800.343.9463 Page 3
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 lower 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 sym-
bol will show up 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), which ensures that in
the possible event of a cooling deciency, the heat from the in-cabinet fan will not raise the tempera-
ture 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 evapora-
tor fan will continue to run for about 1 minute.
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.
Customer Service - 1.800.343.9463 Page 5
Ambient Temperature
The cooling system in the cabinet has the ability to cool a maximum of 30°F below the ambient
temperature in the room. Since 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 85°F.
To ensure a consistent temperature, make sure the room doesn’t drop 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.
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 it 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.

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 or-
der 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 tempera-
tures, 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 re-
cording, 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 yelowsnowake inside a semicircle) 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.
2. The CPC feature can be adjusted to the customer’s specic needs by accessing the control
panel menu.
Note: This feature is not available on the remote keypad application.

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 ad-
equate relative humidity for the cellar.
o An increase in this parameter will increase the humidity (%RH), and a decrease in the pa-
rameter will decrease humidity.
o Adjustments should be made in increments of 5, with a maximum of 15, and a
minimum of 0.
oAfter 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 accli-
mate 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 45°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 tem-
perature alarm.
