Features and Specifications • • • • • • HZD series cooling units are designed and used to provide a stable temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated space. The refrigerated space will maintain humidity ranges within 50~70% RH. These temperature and humidity ranges are optimized for long term storage of wine. Temperature is controlled and humidity is adjusted using patented technology. Horizontal cold-air supply is optimized for use in the wide cabinets or wine rooms.

Installation Instructions NOTES: • Mounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included. • Do not install any ducts onto the supply, return, intake and exhaust. • Because of potential safety hazards under a certain condition we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
2. WM-1500~2500HZD cabinet installation • • • • • • • • • • 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). If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the cabinet to the length and width of the top exhaust. Install 2 pieces of 1/4” ID wood thread inserts at the ceiling (see Fig.2.1 & 2.2).

3. WM-3500~8500HZD through-wall installation Fig. 2.8 THROUGH- WALL INSTALLATION • • • • • • • • • The cooling unit shall be mounted near the ceiling with equal distance from each side of the room. 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 cooling unit. If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the room to the length and width of the top exhaust.
NOTE: The cooling unit can be installed with the front of the unit flush with the inside of the wall. Construct a shelf outside the room accordingly. Fig. 2.9 THROUGH-WALL INSTALLATION (OUTSIDE WALL FLUSH) Fig. 2.
Fig. 2.11 TOP EXHAUST GASKET Fig. 2.12 WALL GRILLE 4. 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 R13 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.
Doors shall be of a minimum size, insulated to at least R13 and tightly sealed with high quality weather stripping. Be sure to seal the bottom of the door and fill gap between the door’s frame and wall before installing the cap molding. In order to maintain 55 °F in the wine cellar, the ambient temperature surrounding the enclosure shall not exceed the temperature of the cellar by more than 25 °F. No cellar wall shall receive direct sun or strong wind.
Temperature and Humidity 1. The controller Fig. 3.1 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER 1) Keys SET: To display set-point; in programming mode it selects a parameter or confirms an operation. : To start a manual defrost. : To see the maximum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or increases the displayed value. : To see the minimum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or decreases the displayed value. : To turn on/off the power to the unit.
4) Alarm Signals The alarm codes are described as follows.
6. Parameter Programming 1) Press and hold the SET + keys until the “°C” or “°F” LED starts flashing, then release the keys. 2) Press and hold again the SET + keys until the Pr2 label is displayed, then release the keys. The first parameter Hy will be displayed. 3) Press up/down keys / to scroll to the required parameter within 10 sec. 4) Press the “SET” key to display its value. 5) Use up/down keys to change its value within 10 sec. 6) Press “SET” to store the new value and the display will flash 3 times.
In case there is excessive frost, the parameters FnC = C-y, idF = 4 and MdF = 20 can be used to avoid frost. 9. How to adjust the humidity The parameter Fon is used to adjust the humidity in the wine cellar. Higher Fon results in higher relative humidity. Use a separate hygrometer to monitor the humidity. 10. How to set alarm call 1) Speech notice will be sent to your phones when the cellar temperature is ALU higher or ALL lower than the set-point Set.
Care Guide 1. Cleaning Condenser • • • Clean the condenser regularly at least every 6 months. Condenser is located on the ambient air intake side of the cooling unit. Use a condenser brush or a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the condenser. 2. Removing Condensate Remove the excessive condensate if it is accumulated on the cooling unit in high humidity conditions. 3. Removing Unit When you remove the cooling unit, beware water may come out of the unit. 4.
