Important Safety Information WARNING To avoid the risk of electrical shock, property damage, personal injury, or death: • The power cord must be plugged into a 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition and local codes and ordinances. •...
Cellar Construction Guide This is only a guide and shall be considered as the minimum requirements. All interior walls, ceilings 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.
Features and Specifications • WINE~MATE split low-profile cooling systems WM-2520~8520SSL and WM- 2520~8520SSL-LA are designed to provide a cold environment between 50~65 °F with a humidity range within 50~70% RH for a properly insulated wine cellar. • These temperature and humidity ranges are optimized for long term storage of wine like that in natural caves.

If the condensing unit will operate below 50°F, install a low CAUTION ambient condition kit. NOTE The cooling capacity is determined under 55°F cellar temperature, 75°F cellar ambient temperature and 90°F condensing unit ambient temperature, with R13 interior and R19 exterior insulations. Higher ambient temperatures or lower insulations will cause reducing capacity and the cellar temperature may not be maintained at 55°F.

7. How to calibrate the air probe If the actual cellar temperature differs from the setting temperature, set parameter ot = actual cellar temperature minus set-point. 8. How to adjust defrost settings In case there is excessive frost, the parameters FnC = C-y, idF = 4 and MdF = 20 can be used to avoid frost.
Care Guide In general, always unplug system or disconnect power while doing care. 1. Condenser Coil Cleaning • Clean the condenser coil regularly. Coil may need to be cleaned at least every 6 months. • Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the coil when it is dusty or dirty.
