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.
WINE-MATE split system is shipped as components and is ready for use only after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed, evacuated, charged and tested the system. Proper installation is critical. Vinotemp can only warrant the quality of the components. The installation and proper operation of the system must be warranted by the installer.

4. Air Sensor • The air sensor can be located in the wine room 5 ft above the floor or the return air area, but not the supply air area or air dead area. • If the temperature controller is mounted outside the wine room but the air sensor is located inside the wine room, use 18 gauge wires to extend the air sensor if needed.

CAUTION: • USE MINIMUM 14 GAUGE WIRES FOR POWER INES • IF EQUIPPED WITH LOW AMBIENT CONDITION KIT, USE LOW AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WIRING DIAGRAMS. BEFORE POWER THE CONDENSING UNIT. ONLY TURN ON THE COMPRESSOR AFTER THE CONDENSING UNIT HAS BEEN POWERED FOR 24 HOURS.
Temperature Control & Humidity Adjustment 1. Temperature Setting • Set the temperature at 55 • 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.

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.
