KoolR Plus
Introducing the SMARTER way to protect your wine with the KoolR and KoolR Plus Systems.
Conveniently monitor temperatures outside your wine cellar with our lighted display.
Let our super smart controls sense conditions in your room and adjust the power levels automatically.
No need to fiddle with the fan and power settings. Sleek silver grille to streamline any install.
Our unit will run as quietly as your conditions allow. Precise temperature and higher humidity levels around the clock.
NOTE – BTUh Rating:
There are circumstances in which a cellar design may require a larger unit due to existing restrictions.
Building materials such as glass, stone, concrete, etc. do not offer the insulation capacity required to maintain the optimal cellar environment.
We recommend purchasing a unit with a larger capacity to compensate for design limitations.
*Please consult with one of our professionals to ensure you are selecting the proper cooling unit for your application.
We are able to give you a proper BTU estimate, based on your construction parameters.
Undersized cooling units can lead to premature failure and/or prevent the system from reaching the desired set temperature. As a result, they are not covered under warranty.
Cooling unit start-up
Monitoring requirements
In order to prevent any damages caused by potential overheating, after startup and power
failures each unit has to be closely monitored for 12 hours.
The koolR products are built with an upper temperature safety limit, that under normal operating conditions will shut down the unit at 72 degrees and the display will blink “AL” (alarm) in case the temperature in the cold room exceeds this value.
In order to allow the unit to cool down your room after plug-in, to a temperature below 72, the
Alarm mode is disregarded by the controller in the first 12 hours of operation.
Cooling unit USE
Normal Sounds
Your new KoolR may make sounds that your old one didn’t make. Because the sounds are new
to you, you might be concerned about them.
Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the flooring and surrounding structures, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.
Your KoolR is designed to run more efficiently to keep your food items at the desired
temperatures and to minimize energy usage.
The high efficiency compressor and fans may cause your KoolR to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of refrigerant or items stored inside your room.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
KoolR.
You may hear water running into the drain pan. You may hear clicking sounds when the KoolR starts or stops running.
Using the Control
For your convenience, your KoolR control is preset at the factory.
When you first install your KoolR, make sure that the control is still preset at 57 degrees.
Adjusting Controls – follow steps on the back of the attached template
The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal usage.
If you need to adjust the temperature, wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then
recheck the temperature.
To make the cellar colder, adjust the control to the next lower setting.
To make the KoolR less cold, adjust the control to the next higher setting.
Temperature Display
The controller displays the current temperatures (Fahrenheit or Celsius) of the cellar if not within
3 degrees of the set point.
To adjust the temperature settings, see “Adjusting Controls” earlier in
this section.
Wine Racks
Never install racking close to any side or under the cooling unit, to keep the air flow unrestricted.
Failure to do so will lead to poor performance.
Stocking the Cold Room
There is a normal temperature gradient within the cellar. In the vicinity of the cooling unit and in
the direct air flow temperatures will be slightly lower. Stock the cellar or pantry accordingly.
Note: Only air temperature varies up to 6 degrees during the ON/OFF cycles, but liquid
temperatures are not affected by this fluctuation.
Lighting the Cold Room
NOTE: Leaving the light on for an extended period of time will increase the temperature of the
room.
