Feature Description • • • • • HZD cooling unit is designed and used to provide a stable temperature between 50~65 °F for suitable space at a normal environment. The refrigerated space will maintain humidity of 50~70% RH even when the environment becomes dry and humid. These temperatures and humilities are optimized for long term storage of wine, fur and tobacco. Horizontal cold-air supply is optimized for use in the wide cabinets or wine rooms. Self-contained ready for use and easy for installation Fig.
• See the voltage, frequency and current from the label on the back or side of the cooling unit.
Installation Instruction Select a place to mount the unit where the exhaust airflow is unobstructed for a minimum of 6 inch. The area into which the unit exhausts must be well ventilated. If it is not, heat exhausted by the unit will build up and the unit will not operate properly. The ambient temperatures shall not be higher than 90 °F or lower than 50 °F. Additionally, cold supply air from the front grille must remain unobstructed.

Fig. 2.7 CABINET GRILLE • • • • • • • • • • Cut a rectangular inside opening with the 1/4” clearance inwards to the width and height of the cooling unit. By not going through, leave 1/2” lip inside at the wall to place the gaskets (see Fig 2.1 & 2.2). If top exhaust, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the cabinet to the length and width of the top exhaust. Make 2 holes at the ceiling to install the 1/4 inside diameter wood thread inserts (see Fig.2.1 & 2.4).
• • Plug the cooling unit in receptacle. Plug the wine cellar. 2. VINO3500-8500HZD ROOM INSTALLATION 1. Cut a rectangular opening at the wine room wall as illustrated. The dimensions of the opening shall be 1/4” larger than the width and height of the unit. 2. If top exhaust, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the cabinet to the length and width of the top exhaust. 3. Construct a shelf as shown. The shelf must be capable of supporting the weight of the unit. 4.
Fig. 2.9 TOP EXHAUST GASKET 3. Cellar Construction This is only a guide and shall be considered as minimum requirements. All interior walls and floors shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R11 insulation. All exterior walls and ceiling shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R19 insulation. The vapor barrier shall be installed on the warm side of the insulation.
large amounts of moisture. When placed into operation in this type of environment, the system will work harder to remove this extra moisture resulting in increased “run” time. 4. Electrical Cord Because of potential safety hazards under a certain condition we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
Temperature Control & Humidity Adjustment 1. Temperature Setting • • • Set the temperature at 55 °F for the optimum aging of wine On initial start-up, the time required to reach the desired temperature will vary, depending on the quantity of bottles, temperature setting and surrounding temperature. Allow 24 hours to stabilize the temperature for each new temperature setting operation 2. Use of the controller Fig. 3.
2) Alarm Signals 2.1 Code Description 2.2 Alarm Recovery Probe alarms P1”, start a few seconds after the fault in the related probe; they automatically stop a few seconds after the probe restarts normal operation. Check connections before replacing the probe. Temperature alarms “HA”, “LA” automatically stops as soon as the temperature returns to normal value. Alarm “CA” (with i1F=PAL) recovers only by switching off and on the instrument. 3) Temperature Set-Point 3.1 How to see the set-point 1.
2. The value of the set point will be displayed and the “°C” or “°F” LED starts blinking; 3. To change the Set value, push the keys or arrows within 10s. 4. To memorize the new set point value, push the SET key again or wait 10s. 4) Humidity Adjustment The parameter Fon is used to adjust the humidity in the wine cabinet. The higher value of Fon, the higher relative humidity will be. 1. Press the Set + keys for 3 sec until the “°C” or “°F” LED starts blinking. 2.
Care Guide 1. Coil Cleaning • • • • • Clean the condenser coil regularly. Coil may need to be cleaned at least every 6 months. Coil is on the ambient air intake side of the cooling unit. Unplug the unit or disconnect power. Use a condenser brush or a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the coil when it is dusty or dirty. Plug the cooling unit or reconnect power. 2. Moisture Removing • Remove the extra condensate if it is accumulated in the wine cellar at high humidity condition. 3.
