Feature Description • • • • • • VINO1500CD, CTED and VINO2500CD, CTED cooling units are designed and used to provide a subtle 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. Bottom cold-air supply is optimized for use in the wine cabinets.
Fig. 1.
Installation Instruction 1. Cabinet Location • • Place the wine cabinet in a properly ventilated location. Otherwise, heat exhausted by the cooling unit will build up and it will not operate properly. The exhaust area must not be a closed space and must be ventilated. The ambient temperatures shall not be higher than 90 °F or lower than 50 °F. 1) Rear Exhaust Location • Leave min 6 “clearance from the rear to the wall. • Leave min 12” clearance from the top to the ceiling.
• • • • Attach the exhaust and fresh air grille with screws from the rear side of the cabinet. If top exhaust, install another top exhaust grille at the top of the cabinet. Plug the cooling unit in receptacle. Plug the wine cabinet. Fig. 2.
Fig. 2.2 MOUNTING CUTOUT & GASKET LIPS Fig. 2.3 TOP EXHAUST GASKET NOTES: 1) DO NOT INSTALL ANY DUCTS ONTO THE SUPPLY, INTAKE ANY EXHAUST. 2) MOUNTING BRACKETS, SCREWS, GASKETS AND OTHER SEAL MATERIALS ARE NOT INCLUDED.
2. Electrical Cord • We strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still select to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is a UL LISTED 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be 115 V, 15 A. or equivalent and not greater than 15ft in length.
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.
7) Manual Defrost Push the DEF key for more than 2 seconds and a manual defrost will start.
Care Guide I I. Condenser Coil Cleaning • • • • • The condenser coil is on the ambient air intake side of the cooling unit. Clean the condenser coil regularly. Coil may need to be cleaned at least every 6 months. Unplug the cooling unit or disconnect power. Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the coil when it is dusty or dirty. Plug the cooling unit or reconnect power. II.
