Thank you for choosing WINEMATE for your cooling needs. Our cooling systems are
designed to give years of trouble-free service, When properly installed. All WINEMATE cooling
systems use ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY R134A.
WINEMATE cooling systems will provide a constant cooling temperature between 50f
and 62f while reducing excess moisture when installed in a properly constructed enclosure.
The system does not add moisture, and the system does not include heating.
Please take time to thoroughly read the instructions before installing the cooling system.
Federal law requires that WINEMATE split cooling systems be installed by a EPA
certified refrigeration technician.
Before removing the cooling system from the box, inspect for damage which might have
occurred during shipping. If any damage is found, notify the shipper immediately and file a claim.
WINEMATE split systems are shipped as components and are ready for use only
after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed and tested the system. Proper
installation is critical. WINEMATE 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
codes. If your installation cannot be performed in accordance with these instructions contact your
dealer.
WINEMATE cooling systems must be installed in the upright position and are not
designed to have duct systems attached to them. Do not drill any holes into the unit. This
may damage the unit, and WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
WINEMATE split cooling systems are shipped as components, and are ready for use
only after being properly installed and tested by a certified refrigeration technician.
The system consists of 2 parts, the FAN-COIL, and the CONDENSING UNIT.
The FAN-COIL includes the evaporator coil, thermal expansion valve, thermostat,
liquid line solenoid, mounting brackets, drain line fitting, and fans.
The CONDENSING UNIT includes the condenser coil, compressor, low pressure
control, service valves, and fans.
The FAN-COIL and CONDENSING UNIT are connected by a liquid line and a insulated
suction line. Supplied by the installer. These lines must be properly sized for the distance between
the units. Because of the control system we use there is no need for wiring between the units.
The FAN-COIL should be mounted inside of the enclosure using the bracket
provided. The best location is centered in the enclosure. Be sure that the location is capable of
supporting the weight of the unit. Air flow from the unit should be unobstructed for at least 1 foot.
Provisions must be made for passing the line set threw the wall to the CONDENSING UNIT.
The CONDENSING UNIT should be placed on a solid foundation with at least 1 foot
clearance on all sides and 3 feet for exhaust air. Unit should be elevated to avoid possible flooding
and shaded from direct sun. location should not be exposed to temperatures higher than 125f or
lower than 20f. Unit must be wired in accordance with all state and local codes.
After the units and the lines are installed. The system must be pressure tested. If no
leaks are found, evacuate the system. We recommend that the system be triple evacuated.
using proper charging methods, charge system with R134A. Amount will vary depending on
the length of line set.
WINEMATE split systems require very little maintenance. The FAN-COIL should be
KEPT clean. The CONDENSING UNIT should be inspected 3 to 4 times a year and the condenser
cleaned as needed. Clean condenser by using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment, or use
compressed air to blow dirt out of the unit.
If the condenser becomes blocked this will obstruct air flow, the unit will over heat causing
a loss in cooling efficiency, and will result in compressor failure not covered by warranty.
On initial start-up the system will slowly reduce the temperature of the enclosure. The
system may run constantly or cycle on and off frequently until the enclosure reaches the desired
temperature. The time needed will very depending on size, contents, and construction. The thermostat
is preset for approximately 55f. Unless the temperature falls below what is desired, do not change
the setting for at least 3 days. After initial cool down the on-off cycle should be relatively constant.
