Features and Specifications • WINE-MATE ducted system VINO4500-8500DS are designed and used to provide a cold temperature between 50~65 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.

Fig. 2 VINO4500- 8500DS DIMENSIONS The dimensions and capacities are specified as follows: Btu/h, CFM DIMENSION MODEL L”xW”xH” (55/90 VINO-4500DS 45X34X23 4500/380 VINO-6500DS 45X34X23 6500/490 VINO-8500DS 45X34X25 8500/750 NOTE: CAPACITY IS DETERMINED UNDER THE CELLAR AND AMBIENT TEMPERATURES OF 55 EXTERIOR INSULATIONS.
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 ducted system is shipped ready for use only after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed the system. Proper installation is critical. Vinotemp can only warrant the quality of the components. The installation of the system must be warranted by the installer. Installation of the system must be done in accordance with all state and local building and electrical codes.

6. Intake and Exhaust Guards • If the intake and exhaust are located outdoor, protection guards may be required. MODEL VINO-4500DS VINO-6500DS VINO-8500DS 7. Unit Operating • Turn on the fan speed control. • Press digital controller CAUTION: IF THE CONDENSING UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH A LOW AMBIENT CONDITION KIT, DO NOT TURN ON THE COMPRESSOR UNTIL THE CONDENSING UNIT HAS BEEN POWERD 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.
