Features and Specifications

• WM-1520HTD, HTD-TE and WM-2520HTD, HTD-TE cooling units are
designed and used to provide a subtle temperature between 50~65 °F for a
properly insulated wine cabinet..

• The refrigerated space will maintain humidity range within 50~70% RH.

• These temperature and humidity ranges are optimized for long term storage

of wine.

• Temperature is controlled and humidity is adjusted using patented technology.

• Optimized air flow makes temperature even through the wine cabinet.

• Exchangeable supply grille can be used for front, back and down cold air

distribution.

• Multiple options for top and rear hot air exhaust are convenient for
installations.

• Extra insulations are used for both thermal and noise isolation

• Patented condensate drain tray is used for humidity adjustment

• The unit is self-contained ready for easy installation and use.

NOTES:

• Also see the voltage, frequency and current specified on the label at the
cooling unit.

• The rated capacity is determined under the cabinet and ambient
temperatures of 55

°F and 75°F with R13 interior and R19 exterior

insulations. Any lower cabinet temperature, higher ambient temperature
and less insulation will cause reducing capacity and may not maintain
55°F.

• The ambient temperatures for WM-1520HTD shall not be higher than
78

°F or lower than 50°F in order to operate properly.

• The ambient temperatures for WM-2520HTD shall not be higher than
95°F or lower than 50°F in order to operate properly.

Installation Instructions

NOTES:

• Mounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included.

• Do not install any ducts onto the supply, return, intake and exhaust.

• Because of potential safety hazards under a certain condition, we strongly

recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to
use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it will be a UL LISTED
3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a 3-blade grounding
plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will plug into the appliance. The marked
rating of the extension cord shall be 220 V, 10 A.

1. Cabinet Location

• Place the wine cabinet in a properly ventilated location. Otherwise, heat
exhausted by the cooling unit will build up and it will not operate properly.

• The exhaust area must not be closed space and must be ventilated. The
ambient temperatures shall not be higher than 78°F for a WM-1520HTD unit
and 95°F for a WM-2520HTD unit or lower than 50 °F.

1) Rear Exhaust Location

• Leave min 6 “clearance from the rear to the wall.

• Leave min 12” clearance from the top to the ceiling.

• Leave min 6” clearance from the left and right sides.

2) Front Exhaust Location

• Leave min 6” clearance from the front if left and right sides unobstructed.

• Or, leave min 36” clearance from the front if left and right sides obstructed

3) Top Exhaust Location

• Leave min 12” from the top to the ceiling.

• Leave min 2 “clearance from the rear to the wall.

• Leave min 2” clearance from the left and right sides.

4) Side Exhaust Location

• Leave min 6 “clearance from the left or right side to the wall.

• Leave min 12” clearance from the top to the ceiling.

2. Cooling Unit Installation

• The cooling unit produces cooling supplied into the cabinet, meanwhile it also
generates heat that must be exhausted outside the cabinet. So the cold-air
supply with return-air intake and hot-air exhaust with ambient-air side must be
separated and sealed. Foam tape gasket may be used to seal them. The
cooling unit must intake adequate fresh ambient-air to work properly. The

- 5 -

ambient-air intake and hot-air exhaust must not be short-circulated. A piece of
wood may be used to separate them.

• Cut a rectangular inside opening at the rear of the cabinet with the 1/4”
clearance inwards to the width and height of the cooling unit. By not going
through, leave 1/2” lip inside at the wall to place the gaskets (see Fig. 2.1 &

2.2).

• If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the
cabinet to the length and width of the top exhaust (see Fig.2.1 & 2.3).

• Install 2 pieces of ¼” ID wood thread inserts at the ceiling (see Fig.2.1 & 2.4).

• Place the gaskets (½ “foam tape) on the gasket lips (see Fig 2.1 & 2.5).

• If top exhaust installation, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at the

top of the cooling unit (see Fig.2.6).

• Move the cooling unit towards the mounting sides and push to press the
gaskets.

• Use 2 mounting brackets and ¼” screws with 7/16” wrench to secure the
cooling unit (see Fig 2.7 & 2.8).

• If top exhaust, install another top exhaust grille at the top of the cabinet (see
Fig 2.9).

• Plug the cooling unit in the cabinet receptacle.

• Plug the wine cabinet.
