Cellar Construction This is only a guide and shall be considered as minimum requirements. All interior walls and floors shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R13 insulation. All exterior walls and ceiling shall have a vapor barrier and a minimum of R19 insulation. The vapor barrier shall be installed on the warm side of the insulation.
Features and Specifications Purpose of the cooling units • • • WM-4510~8510HZD cooling units are designed and used to provide a stable temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated and sized space. The refrigerated space will maintain humidity within the range of 50~70% RH. These temperature and humidity ranges like in natural caves are optimized for long term storage of wine. Specialty of design • The unit is self-contained and all-in-one ready for use.

Control Panel Fig. 2.1 Control panel 1. Evaporator fan speed control Turn the knob clockwise to the lowest speed position for non-duct installations; turn counter-clockwise to achieve required air flow CFM for the duct installations. 2. Humidifier outlet Plug in your own independent humidifier in the extremely dry conditions. 3. Cellar heater outlet (option) Plug in your own forced-air electric heater to protect your wine from freezing.
Temperature and Humidity 1. The controller Fig. 3.1 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER 1) Keys SET: To display set-point; in programming mode it selects a parameter or confirms an operation. : To start a manual defrost. : To see the maximum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or increases the displayed value. : To see the minimum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or decreases the displayed value. : To turn on/off the power to the unit.
4) Alarm Signals The alarm codes are described as follows.
6. Parameter Programming 1) Press and hold the SET + keys until the “°C” or “°F” LED starts flashing, then release the keys. 2) Press and hold again the SET + keys until the Pr2 label is displayed, then release the keys. The first parameter Hy will be displayed. 3) Press up/down keys / to scroll to the required parameter within 10 sec. 4) Press the “SET” key to display its value. 5) Use up/down keys to change its value within 10 sec. 6) Press “SET” to store the new value and the display will flash 3 times.
7. How to calibrate the air probe If the actual cellar temperature differs from the setting temperature, set parameter ot = actual cellar temperature minus set-point. 8. How to adjust defrost cycle In case there is excessive frost, the parameters FnC = C-y, idF = 4 and MdF = 20 can be used to avoid frost. 9. How to adjust the humidity The parameter Fon is used to adjust the humidity in the wine cellar. Higher Fon results in higher relative humidity. Use a separate hygrometer to monitor the humidity. 10.
Installation Instructions NOTE: • Mounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included. • Filter adapter, air filter, rear exhaust grille, duct hoods and insulated ducts are sold separately. 1. General Instructions Fig. 4.
1) The cooling unit produces cooling supplied into the cellar, meanwhile it also generates heat that must be exhausted outside the cellar. So the cold-air supply and cellar-air return side must be separated from the hot-air exhaust and ambient-air intake side. Through-wall or through-duct installations can separate these two sides. 2) Furthermore, the condenser of cooling unit must intake adequate fresh ambient-air to work properly. The ambient-air intake and hot-air exhaust must not be short-circulated.

Fig. 4.4 Top exhaust with air filter & rear exhaust cover Fig. 4.5 Flush to the racks or the inside of wall with air filter & rear exhaust grille NOTE: Insulate any cold surfaces of cooling unit for better performance if exposed to the outside.
3. Through-wall installation with hot-air exhaust and ambient-air intake ducts (Fig. 4.6 & 4.7) It is the installation when the cooling unit can not exhaust the hot air to an adjacent space. 1) The cooling unit shall be mounted near the ceiling with equal distance from each side of the cellar. 2) Cut a rectangular opening between two wall studs. The dimensions of the opening shall be 1/4” larger than the width and height of the cooling unit. 3) Construct a shelf as shown.

In-cellar installation with hot-air exhaust and ambient-air intake ducts (Fig. 4.8, 4.9, 4.10 & 4.11) It is the installation when the cooling unit is installed away from the wall. NOTE: The exhaust and intake ducts can be combined maximum 50 ft long.

Through-wall installation with cold-air supply ducts (Fig 4.12) It is the installation when the cooling unit is located away from the wine rack.
• • The supply duct can be maximum 50 ft long. The cooling unit can also be installed with other configurations shown above. Fig. 4.12 Flush to the outside of wall with cold-air supply duct & wall grille 6. Remote installation with cold-air supply and cellar-air return ducts only (Fig. 4.13) It is the installation when the cooling unit can not be installed inside the wine room but it can exhaust the hot air to an adjacent space. NOTES: • The supply and return ducts can be combined maximum 50 ft long.
7) Install a rear exhaust grille and an air filter at the rear of the cooling unit. 8) Plug the unit into a properly grounded and dedicated outlet of adequate capacity. 9) Turn the evaporator fan control knob counter-clockwise to achieve the required air flow CFM.

5) Attach the insulated ducts to the hoods with adhesive tapes. 6) Secure the ducts with conduits to the wine cellar ceiling and exterior walls and make sure they are not curled, twisted, bent and clogged. 7) Install an air filter at the rear of the cooling unit. 8) Plug the unit into a properly grounded and dedicated outlet of adequate capacity. 9) Turn on the high condenser fan switch. 10) Turn the evaporator fan control knob counter-clockwise to achieve the required air flow CFM.

Care Guide 1. Cleaning Condenser • • • • Clean the condenser and air filter regularly. Condenser and filter may need to be cleaned at least every 6 months. Condenser and air filter are located on the ambient air intake side of the cooling unit. Use a condenser brush or a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the condenser. Air filter is washable and reusable. 2. Removing Condensate Remove the excessive condensate if it is accumulated on the cooling unit in high humidity conditions. 3.
