Feature Description • • • • WineMate split cooling system is designed and used to provide a stable temperature between 52~62 °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.

Installation Instruction Federal law requires that WINEMATE split cooling systems be installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician. 1. Location • • • • • Place the condensing unit in a properly ventilated location. If it is not, heat exhausted by the condensing unit will build up and the cooling system will not operate properly. Leave minimum 3 feet clearance between the exhaust side and the wall. Leave minimum 1 foot clearance for the fresh air supply side.
The condensing unit and unit cooler are connected by a liquid line and an insulated suction line that are supplied by the installer. These lines must be properly sized for the distance between the two units. After the units and the lines are installed, the system must be pressure tested. If no leaks are found, evacuate and charge system with R134A. Refrigerant amount will vary depending on the length of line set. 3. Electrical Wiring • We strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
Use & Temperature Control 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 thermostat • • Turn clockwise to decrease temperature. Turn counter clockwise to increase temperature.
Care Guide In general, always unplug system or disconnect power while doing care. 1. Coil Cleaning • • • • Clean the condenser coil regularly. Coil may need to be cleaned at least every 6 months. Unplug the system or disconnect power. Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the coil when it is dusty or dirty. Plug cooling system or reconnect power. 2. Moisture Removing • Remove the extra condensate if it is accumulated in the wine cellar at high ambient temperature and humidity.
