Installer’s Instruction

Federal law requires that WINEMATE split cooling systems be

installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician.

WINEMATE 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. Installation of the system must be
done in accordance with all state and local building electrical codes.
The condensing unit and evaporator unit are connected by a liquid line and an
insulated suction line that are supplied by the installer. These lines must be
properly sized for the distance between the two units. After the units and the lines
are installed, the system must be pressure tested. If no leaks are found,
evacuate and charge system. Refrigerant amount will vary depending on the
length of line set.
