Climatech™ Installation Guide

Before ordering and installing your Climatech™ wine cooling system we strongly advise that you consult with your Vigilant sales consultant to ensure that you have the correct wine cooling system for your application. Below are questions and advice to help get you started. Please feel free to contact us at any time with questions about your wine cooling system or proper wine cellar build-out.



The Planning Process

- Where will the wine cellar cooling unit be located?
- Should it be built into the wall or mounted remotely and ducted into the wine cellar?
- Where will the supply and return grilles go to achieve the temperature and circulation desired?
- Should an electrical outlet be close to the unit? (Do not use an extension cord)
- Does the condenser heat exhaust need to be ducted away?
Wine Cooling System
- Where will the wine cellar thermostat be located?
- Where will you run the drain line?

Performing a Pre-installation Check

- Check for the proper installation of the electrical plug configuration.
- Check for the properly sized breaker.
- Is the wine cellar built with adequate insulation and vapor barriers?
- Are ducts installed above the ceiling or in accessible places properly sized before being covered?
- Is enough space available around the unit for service and repair?

Installation Warning

- Always install the unit in the horizontal position with the flat bottom side down (only side with no openings). Otherwise the Climatech™ will not operate properly and the internal components will be damaged and the warranty voided.
