WINEMATE cooling units are designed to, when installed in a properly constructed

enclosure or closet, provide a constant, selectable, temperature between 52-62F while maintaining
55-70% humidity. Products requiring these storage conditions include wine, furs, pastries,
tobacco, chocolates and documents. WINEMATE cooling units are not intended to cool service
cabinets which are maintained at lower temperatures and are opened frequently.

Before installing the unit in the enclosure, place it on a table and plug it into a properly

grounded outlet. The thermostat has no off position, therefor it will run as soon as it is plugged in.
allow it to run for approximately 15 minutes. There should be a flow of cool air from the front
opening and warm air from the back.
any problems contact your dealer.

If your installation cannot be performed in accordance with these instructions contact

your dealer. WINEMATE cooling units are not designed to have duct systems on ether the exhaust
or cold sides. Do not drill any holes into the cooling unit, it may damage the unit and will void the
warranty.

Select a place to mount the unit where the exhaust air flow is unobstructed for a minimum

of 3 feet. The area into which the unit exhausts must be well ventilated. If it is not heat exhausted by
the unit it will build up and the unit will not operate properly. Additionally, cold air from the front
opening must remain unobstructed. The unit should be mounted near the ceiling and as close to
equal distance from each end of the wall as possible.

Make a hole in the wall as illustrated in fig. 2. The dimensions of the hole should be

1/4 inch larger than the width and height of the unit. Construct a shelf as shown in fig. 3. The
shelf must be capable of supporting the weight of the unit. Place the unit on the shelf with the back of
unit flush with the outside of the wall. Attach the grille to the outside wall with screws. Seal the inside
with a high quality weather stripping and cover with molding. Attach the molding to the wall not the
unit. Plug the unit into a properly grounded outlet of adequate capacity.

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 is 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 should be 115v, 15a. Or equivalent.

On initial start-up the unit will reduce the temperature of the enclosure slowly. The

unit may run constantly or cycle on and off for short periods. The time required to reach the desired
temperature will vary, depending on the enclosure construction and contents. The thermostat is set
for approximately 55f . Unless the temperature falls below that which is desired, do not change the
thermostat for at least 3 days. After initial cool down, the on-off cycle should be relatively constant.
The percentage of off time will depend on enclosure construction, contents and surrounding
temperature.
