The circuit breaker must be at least 16 Amps.

* The insulation quality and thickness has to be in accordance with the volume of the cellar and the set
temperature.

** 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
to the summer period.

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®.
