Features and Specifications • • • • • • • • • • WM-1500HTD, HTD-TE and WM-2500HTD, 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.
Fig. 1.2 DIMENSIONS (in) The specifications and dimensions are listed as follows: Model Exhaust WMRear Exhaust 1500htd WMTop Exhaust 1500htd-te WMRear Exhaust 2500htd WMTop Exhaust 2500htd-te CFM Cabinet Size (cu ft) Electrical Weight (lb) 120 90 115V/60Hz/4A 55 120 90 115V/60Hz/4A 55 180 200 115V/60Hz/5A 60 180 200 115V/60Hz/5A 60 NOTES: • Also see the voltage, frequency and current specified on the label at the cooling unit.
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.
• • • • • • • • • • 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.

Temperature and Humidity 1. Use of the controller Fig. 3.1 TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER 1) Keys SET: To display target set point; in programming mode it selects a parameter or confirm an operation. (DEF): To start a manual defrost. (UP): To see the maximum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or increases the displayed value. (DOWN): To see the minimum stored temperature; in programming mode it browses the parameter codes or decreases the displayed value.
4) Alarm Signals The alarm codes are described as follows.
5. How to calibrate the air probe If the actual cellar temperature differs from the displayed temperature, set ot = actual cellar temperature minus displayed temperature. 6. How to adjust defrost cycle 1) In case the cooling unit does not stop, the parameters FnC = C-n, idF =4 and MdF = 30 can be used to cycle off. 2) In case there is excessive frost, the parameters FnC = C-y, idF = 6 and MdF = 20 can be used to avoid defrost. 7.
3) Press up/down keys / to scroll to the required parameter within 10 sec. 4) Press the “SET” key to display its value. to change its value within 10 sec. 5) Use up/down keys 6) Press “SET” to store the new value. 7) To exit: Press SET + or wait 15sec without pressing a key.
Care Guide 1. Cleaning Condenser • • • Clean the condenser regularly at least every 6 months. Condenser is 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. 2. Removing Condensate Remove the excessive condensate if it is accumulated on the cooling unit in high humidity conditions. 3. Removing Unit When you remove the cooling unit, beware water may come out of the unit.
