Overview of the CellarMate Unit Evaporator Section Cool air is supplied to the wine cellar through any of three outlets. Return air from the cellar enters the evaporator coil section. A drain pan is located directly below the evaporator coil to capture condensate and is fabricated from aluminum to prevent corrosion. Condensing Section Ambient air is circulated through the condenser section, and can be discharged through any of three outlets.

Product Specifications The CellarMate is designed to operate at or above its rated capacities for total BTUH and CFM under recommended conditions.
Safety Considerations When performing maintenance, always use the following Lockout/Tag-out Procedure. More than one power source may be present. Disconnect all power sources. Lockout/Tag-out Procedure • Turn power switch to OFF. • Lights should be off. • Unplug unit from electrical outlet. WARNING • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Never reach into a unit while the fan is running. Never open an access door downstream of the fan while the fan is running. Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Pre-installation Procedure Pre-installation Test Before installing your CellarMate unit, use the following procedures to test for non-visible shipping damage. • Set the unit on the floor or on a sturdy level surface. • Confirm that both blower impellers spin freely. Spin both blowers and observe any interference; blowers are lubricated and should spin rapidly when spun. • Plug the power cord into an outlet. • Turn the main power switch to ON. The power indicator light should be on.
• • output from the system. Total duct work is recommended not to exceed 50’. If longer runs of duct are required, secondary fans must be used to maintain CFM output. o The condensate drain line needs to be considered when selecting an installation site. o Unit should be level with the top side up during operation. The unit is designed to operate with an ambient (air intake) temperature of 40 deg to 90 deg F. All required parts are on-hand. o The electrical plug and outlet have the correct configuration.
Mechanical Installation Options The following installation instructions and diagrams are for general ideas only. They are not intended to be a complete and detailed guide for installation. The Cellarmate 025 model is designed to fit between studs. Floor Mounting Elevate the CellarMate on a 2”x4” frame with a plywood surface to protect it from water. This will allow adequate space for the external drain.
Installing the Ductwork The following installation instructions and diagrams are for general ideas only. They are not intended to be a complete and detailed guide for installation. DO NOT EXCEED A TOTAL OF 25’ FOR EACH LENGTH OF DUCTWORK RUN, OR 50’ TOTAL. Place the unit as close to the wine cellar as possible to reduce the length of the duct runs. Use straight, short ducting. To prevent transmitting vibration and noise, add ¼” thick rubber pads.
• • • • • • • • • • • • • Support the flexible duct often to prevent sags or bends. (Place supports close enough to prevent the flexible ducting from sagging or bending). Stretch the duct to create a smooth interior and reduce air resistance. Rigid ductwork is best. Insert a metal elbow in the flexible duct at 90° bends to maintain form. Use straight and short lengths of ductwork. Review the Air Flow Illustration on page 8 for duct connection options.
