WK 2500 CABINET SYSTEM
TESTING THE REFRIGERATION UNIT
Remember, do not start or plug in your unit for 24 hours after delivery. Many units are placed on their sides during
shipping, which may allow compressor oil to escape their reservoirs. Premature starting before the oil has had a
chance to resettle can cause damage to the compressor and result in a lack of cooling.
Before you ll the cabinet with wine, you’ll want to check the operation of the unit. All cabinets successfully pass
quality control at the WhisperKOOL facility.
Periodically a unit’s cooling system is damaged in transport. Simply turn the unit on for about one hour and conrm
that the temperature is cooling down. This will prevent the inconvenience of stocking and restocking a damaged
unit.
If the unit is not working correctly, contact WhisperKOOL’s Customer Service Department at 1-800-343-9463.
We will work with you to diagnose the problem and promptly resolve it.
LOADING BOTTLES AND COOL DOWN PERIOD
Loading Bottles
The cabinet may settle slightly based on the weight of all the bottles. It is best to spread the loading of
bottles evenly throughout the cabinet, starting on the bottom rst. This will prevent the unit from shifting and
potentially knocking the doors out of alignment.
Cool Down Period
When the time comes for you to begin loading wine bottles into your unit, there are some considerations to be
made. The cabinet should be loaded in stages. We recommend 1/4 of the cabinet per day. This will allow the unit to
achieve more rapid temperature stabilization. Loading all of the wine at once might overwhelm the cooling system.
During the cool down period, the system will run constantly, depending on the size of the collection. Slow cooling
maintains correct humidity within the cabinet.
