Instructions for installation and use
From the vine to the wine
In the past cellars were planned and built so that they could maintain a temperature not
exceeding 14 to 16°C for a whole season unattended. Nowadays not many cellars are
capable of this. Yet, a cellar that deserves this name, must be impervious against important
temperature changes, be as humid as necessary and at the same time, be ventilated, dark
and insensitive to vibrations.
That is why we have spent the last fifteen years, surrounded by specialists and passionate
and demanding amateurs, projecting, developing, testing and producing thousands of airconditioning systems for the conservation and ageing of wine.
If you follow our advice and adhere to our recommendations, your wines will be able to
fully develop. Before installing and using your WINEMASTER® FONDIS cellar airconditioning, you must read the following instructions carefully.
If you have any questions, please contact us!
And so... even if several long years may be necessary until the wine fully develops its
richness, the big and exciting day will come when you can uncork your wine. Carefully take
the bottle, do not cut at the top right next to the neck of the bottle, seize a beautiful
corkscrew, remove the cork without causing vibration and sit back and enjoy!
But that is a different story…

1. Layout of Premises
The air-conditioner is installed entirely in the wine cellar: it can be fitted on the floor or on
a suitable support which can bear the weight of the unit.
1.1 Hot air outlet
- If the WINEMASTER hot air outlet is indoors, the room must be well-ventilated to ensure
that the temperature does not exceed 35°C. The ideal temperature is arround 20°C. It is
preferable to discharge the hot air outside if possible, via ducts.
- The air intake and outlet ducts must not be connected to each other nor obstructed, to
avoid overheating the unit. The two openings (intake and outlet) must therefore be at
least 200mm apart. The maximum length of each duct must not exceed 10 metres. This
lengh is to be reduced according to number of bends (by 1 meter per bend). The radius of
the bends must be higher than 300 mm. The diameter of the ducts must not be reduced.
1.2 The cellar
1.2.1 INSULATION
Insulation of the 4 walls, the door, the ceiling and the floor is essential for the
Winemaster to work properly. Adequate insulation helps to obtain the stability of the
temperature and the humidity. The table on the next page (choice of insulation) can be
used to determine the type and the thickness of insulation needed according to the
internal volume of the cellar and a cellar temperature of 12°C.
Insulation continuity :
Insulating components must be assembled preferably by interlocking panels or gluing
the panels together, to ensure perfect continuity of insulation. This is very important as
it prevents heat and humidity entering from the outside which would counter the
effects of regulation.

* 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 of the cellar is maintained at 35°C. If the thermal safety
functions to often, there is a risk for the condensator and starter to be damaged. In all the cases, it must be avoided
that the outside temperature remains at 35°C. This high temperature should be limited to the summer period.

1.2.2 WALL AND CEILING INSULATION
The manufacturers propose their insulating panels in several forms:
- insulation alone
- complexes: the insulation is lined with a facing (plaster, mineral, etc...)
- sandwiches: the insulation is lined on each side with a wooden or plaster panel.
The panel facing is important: it protects the insulation from shocks and guarantees
long life.
Do not use mineral fibre insulation (glasswool, stonewool,etc...) because it stores
humidity and loose its insulation capacity.
Protection against rodents
Some insulating materials are damaged by rodents (mice, rats…). It is therefore
essential to make sure that the walls of the cellar do not contain holes which would
allow rodents access to the insulation. This insulation must be lined on the inner
surface of the cellar, with a protective facing. Polyurethane insulation, because of its
chemical composition, is not attacked by rodents.

MPORTANT
T
he validity of the WINEMASTER guarantee depends on the values in the "Choice of insulation"
table being strictly respected, for all the cellar walls, including floor and ceiling + door, as well
as perfect continuity of insulation and installation in accordance to the user guide.
