KoolR Consumer‑Friendly Guide

A simple, easy‑to‑read version of your installation, use, and care instructions

Choosing the Right Location

Your KoolR cooling unit works best when installed correctly. Here’s what you need to know:

• Indoor use only. Never install the unit in a fire wall, fire barrier, or fire partition.

• Vent warm air into a large, ventilated interior room. The warm air must flow freely into an adjacent indoor space near the ceiling.

• Do NOT vent into: garages, laundry closets, or any room that traps warm air.

• No ducting. Airflow must be completely unobstructed — the unit moves up to 200 cubic feet of air per minute.

• Keep clear space around the unit. Don’t block airflow on any side.

• Avoid heat sources. Do not install near ovens, radiators, or anywhere below 55°F (13°C).

Temperature Requirements

To keep your wine or pantry items at the right temperature:

• Choose a room where the ambient temperature is no more than 25°F (14°C) above your desired storage temperature.

• The warm‑air venting room must stay between 65°F and 80°F, with humidity below 70%.

• Default temperature is 57°F (14°C).

• You may set the temperature between 53°F and 64°F (12°C–18°C) if conditions allow.

Insulation Requirements

Proper insulation is essential for performance:

• All walls, floors, and ceilings must be insulated to R‑20 with vapor barriers on both sides.

• Floors MUST be insulated. Bare concrete floors radiate heat and humidity.

• Use an insulated door with a good weather seal.

Electrical Requirements

Before installation, make sure you have:

• A dedicated, grounded 15‑amp / 115‑volt outlet on the cool side (Europe: 10‑amp / 220‑volt).

• No extension cords.

• A surge protector to protect electronics.

• An outlet that cannot be turned off by a wall switch.

• Line voltage above 105V.

Always unplug the unit before cleaning or maintenance.

Unpacking Your KoolR

• Use two people — the unit is heavy.

• Remove packaging carefully (avoid sharp tools).

• Vacuum out any leftover packing material.

• Inspect for shipping damage and report major issues to www.wineracking.ca

• Let the unit rest horizontally for 2 hours before powering on.

• Test run for 10 minutes:

  • Display lights up

  • Fans start within 1 minute

  • Compressor starts within the next minute

  • Warm air exits the warm side; cool air exits the cold side

Record your serial number.

Preparing Your Room

Build your wine cellar or pantry with:

• Proper insulation

• A sealed, insulated door

• A dedicated electrical line

Follow the wall‑cutout template for installation.

Installing the KoolR

• Use two people and a safe ladder.

• Attach the decorative grille on the warm side.

• Connect the drain as shown in the template. Improper drain setup can cause water damage.

KoolR is not responsible for any decorative additions that block airflow.

First Startup & Monitoring

For the first 12 hours, monitor the unit closely.

The unit has a safety shutoff at 72°F. During the first 12 hours, the alarm is temporarily ignored so the unit can cool the room properly.

Normal Operating Sounds

Your KoolR may make sounds you’re not used to — this is normal:

• High‑efficiency fans and compressor may run longer

• Pulsing or high‑pitched sounds

• Rattling from refrigerant flow

• Gurgling at the end of cycles

• Water running into the drain pan

• Clicking when starting or stopping

Using the Controls

• Factory preset is 57°F — confirm this at installation.

• Wait 24 hours between temperature adjustments.

• Lower the setting for a colder cellar; raise it for warmer.

• Display shows current temperature unless within 3°F of the set point.

Wine Racks & Stocking

• Never place racks close to or under the cooling unit — airflow must stay open.

• Expect slight temperature differences within the room.

• Liquid temperature stays stable even if air temperature fluctuates.

Lighting

Leaving lights on will warm the room — turn them off when not needed.

Cleaning & Care

Clean monthly:

1. Unplug the unit.

2. Remove the grille.

3. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive tools.

4. Vacuum condenser and evaporator coils (may need cleaning every 2 months).

5. Replace grille and plug back in.

Changing the Fuse

Replace only with the same size and amperage. Instructions available at the manufacturer’s website.

Vacation & Moving

If leaving home:

• Remove wine

• Unplug the unit

• Clean it

If moving:

• Remove wine

• Unplug and uninstall

• Use two people — overhead weight can be dangerous

• Clean and pack removable parts

• Reinstall using this guide and the template
