SOUND HOOD 

We created a sound hood that reduces the noise level of the 
cooling unit by 2-3 decibels.  The sound hood is designed to slope 
up and back (as shown at right).  There are two guides in the 
bottom of the hood that are designed to fit into the hot air exhaust 
opening.  The sound hood is positioned correctly when it is laying 
flat on top of the wine cabinet. 
 
The sound hood also can be used with credenzas*.  There are two 
guides in the bottom of the hood that are designed to fit into the 
hot air exhaust opening, and when the sound hood is positioned correctly, it is laying flat on 
back wall of the credenza. There are two screwholes in the sound hood that should be used 
to hold the hood from falling off the credenza (you will need to attach two screws or nails 
into the back of the credenza.)  The power cord should run through the hot air exhaust 
opening. 
 
PLEASE NOTE:  The sound hood must be configured to be TOP-VENTED or REAR-
VENTED, as follows: 



Upright wine cabinets with crown moldings: the sound hood  must be 
configured to  be TOP-VENTED (ie the panel should block the back of the 
hood).   



Upright wine cabinets with no crown moldings: the  sound hood may be 
configured to be either top-vented or rear-vented, whichever yields the best 
sound results. 



Credenza wine cabinets: the sound hood must be configured to be BACK-
VENTED (ie the panel should block the top of the hood.). 

* On credenzas, the air filter must be removed and cannot be used with the sound hood . 

BOTTLE PROBE 

Bottle probe temperature sensors can be used to cycle on/off based on changes in air or 
liquid temperatures inside the wine cellar.  When used to measure liquid temperatures, our 
bottle probe, which includes a rubber bottle stopper to avoid leaks and spills, should be 
inserted into a wine bottle filled with water and alcohol to avoid bacteria growth. The 10-
foot cord allows the bottle to be placed almost anywhere inside the wine cellar.  The other 
side of the probe is fitted with a jack that plugs directly into the wine cooling unit.  When 
using a bottle probe to measure liquid temperature, we recommend reducing the
