• Wine-Mate split cooling systems VINO2500-6500SSR are designed and used to provide a cold temperature between 50~65 insulated wine room at a normal environment. • The wine room 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.

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.

1. Condensing Unit • Place the condensing units WM250-650SCU 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. • Condensing unit shall be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded from direct sun.

2) Use inverted siphons to prevent liquid from flooding back to the compressor and aid oil returning to the compressor. 3) Both discharge and suction valves must be in the middle positions during evacuating and charging. 4) Charge the system after pipe brazing, leak testing and evacuating. Liquid must always be charged into the hide side.

10. Pressure, Superheat and Subcooling Readings CAUTION: THE VALVES MUST BE IN THE MIDDLE POSITIONS TO READ PROPERLY. Complaint a. High suction pressure and low head pressure Zero superheat and zero subcooling b. High suction pressure and low head pressure Low superheat and low subcooling c.
CAUTION: • USE MINIMUM 14 GAUGE WIRES FOR POWER LINES. • 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 1.

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.
