** The cooling performance is dependant from the outside temperature. Therefore, the set temperature
of 12°C for the cellar cannot be maintained if the outside temperature reaches the 35°C.
If the thermal safety functions to often, there is a risk for the compressor to be damaged. In all cases, it
must be avoid that the outside temperature remains at 35°C, this high temperature should be limited

1. CELLAR EQUIPMENT
The air conditioner has to be installed in the wine cellar on the supplied horizontal supports adapted to the
weight of the unit.
For a correct functioning, the unit expels air at the outside to
15°C above the temperature of the air inlet
aspiration. This air must be cooled in a well ventilated room or be evacuated outside.
This operation will be done thanks to the insulated ducts in the inside of the cellar.
1.1. Evacuation room
If WINEMASTER® evacuates hot air inside the room you have to ventilate the room :
- Maximum temperature and non permanent ≤ 35°C
- Ideal temperature ≈ 20°C.
It is recommended to evacuate the hot air to the outside with ducts if possible.
- Separate the 2 entries of at least
1000 mm
- Do not block the ducts (risk of
overheating)
- Maximum length of the 2 ducts in
totality : 14 m in straight line
- Reduce depending on the number of
elbow : 1 m per elbow
- Radius elbow ≥ 300 mm
- Do not reduced the duct size

VENTILATED COLD OR « NO FROST »
The advantages of « ventilated cold »:
- No frost other than on the evaporator.
- Automatic defrosting and maximized refrigeration efficiency.
- Cold distribution improved by a permanent air circulation (without air stratification).
- The circulation of air allows maintaining the pre-selected temperature throughout the
cellar.
1.2. Cellar insulation
Insulation is essential for efficient functioning of the WINEMASTER®. A good insulation enables to
maintain a stable temperature and humidity level. The chart on the next page will allow you to
determine the type and thickness of insulation needed in relation to the exterior volume of the cellar and
model of the WINEMASTER®, for an inside temperature of 12°C.
Complete insulation
The insulating elements should be preferably :
- By « tongue and groove » panels or
- By panels fused together
IMPORTANT: Avoid the intrusion of heat and humidity which can alter the functioning of
the WINEMASTER®.

IMPORTANT
The WINEMASTER® warranty is only valid if the insulation is in compliance with the board « Insulation
selection » requirements for the whole cellar (walls, floor, door and ceiling) with perfect continuity of
insulation.
Insulation selection
1.2.1.
Insulation of walls, ceiling and floor
Type of insulation panels
You can select among the following type of panels :
- Usual panels,
- « Complex panels »: insulation is covered with a with a cover material (plaster, mineral …..)
- « Sandwich panels »: insulation is covered on each side with a wooden panel or plaster board.
Important : The covering of the panels protects the insulation against damage and guarantees its
longevity. Avoid using mineral fibres insulation (glass wool, rock woo, etc…) as they may
accumulate moisture and lose their insulation power and avoid also thin film insulation
that are not
effective for cold.
DO YOU KNOW THAT ?
Some insulating materials are damaged by rodents. If necessary, cover the insulation with a protective
lining on the inside of the cellar to avoid presence of mouse or rats.
Polyurethane is an insulator that, due to its chemical composition, is not attacked by the rodents.

USER MANUAL WINE IN25 Page 8
The floor of the cellar must be able to support the shelves and the stored wine. Thus, it’s necessary to
choose insulation with adequate compression strength.
Improve the load capacity of the insulation (particularly under the shelve legs) by using :
- « Complex » insulation panels covered by panels of higher load capacity.
- Cover the insulation panel with a wooden panel (at least 15 mm thickness), or every other
appropriated material.
1.2.2.
The door
Door improves the insulation. Two solutions are possible :
- Insulate an existing door with the same insulation materials used for the walls of the
cellar. Provide a tight seal between the door frame and all sides of the door with a strip of foam
rubber for example.
- Use a specially design FONDIS isothermal door with polyurethane and a sealing foam rubber.

Inusulation of other elements
Avoid placing a wine cabinet or freezer who generates heat in the cellar. The central heating pipes
should be re-isolated during their passage through the cellar.
