• Do not use a ground fault interrupter (GFI).
• A dedicated 20 AMP circuit for WM-1500~2500HZD and 30 AMP for WM-
3500~8500HZD are required.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, property damage, personal injury, or death:
•The power cord must be plugged into a 3-prong grounding type wall
receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 –latest edition and local codes and ordinances.
•It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have a proper 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
•DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE POWER CORD
GROUNDING PRONG.
•A separate adequately fused and grounded circuit should be available for this
appliance.
•Do not remove any grounding wires from individual components while servicing
unless the component is to be removed and replaced. It is extremely important
to replace all grounding wires when components are replaced.

NOTES:
• Also see the voltage, frequency and current specified on the label at the
cooling unit.
• The rated capacity is determined under the cellar and ambienttemperatures
of 55°F and 75°F with R13 interior and R19 exterior insulations. Any lower
cellar temperature, higher ambient temperature and less insulation will
cause reducing capacity and may not maintain 55°F.
• The ambient temperatures for WM-1500HZD shall not be higher than78°F
or lower than 50°F in order to operate properly.
• The ambient temperatures for WM-2500HZD shall not be higher than95°F
or lower than 50°F in order to operate properly.
• The ambient temperatures for WM-3500~8500HZD shall not be higher than
95°F or lower than 50°F in order to operate properly.

Installation Instructions
WARNING
•Always check wiring harness connections before initiating any test procedures.
•Disconnect electric power from the appliance before performing any
maintenance or repairs.
•Voltage checks should be made by inserting meter proves beside the wires in
the connector blocks with the electric power source on and the connector block
plugged in.
•Resistance checks should be made on components with the electric power off
and the connector block disconnected.
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. However, if you still select 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 groundingplug
and a 3-slot receptacle that will plug into the appliance. The marked rating of
the extension cord shall be 115 V, 15 A or equivalent for WM- 1500~2500HZD
and 115 V, 20 A or equivalent for WM-3500~8500HZD and not greater than
15ft in length.
1. General Instructions
• 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
with return-air intake side and thehot-air exhaustwith ambient-air intake side must
be separated and sealed. Through-wall installations can separate these two sides.
• 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. Both of them must remain unobstructed 36” clearanceall around. The
area into which the hot air is exhausted must be well ventilated. If it is not, heat
generated by the unit will build up and the unit will not operate properly.
• Additionally, cold-air supply from the front grille must remain unobstructed 36”
clearance.
• The ambient temperatures shall not be above and below what are specified.

2. WM-1500~2500HZD cabinet installation
• Cut a rectangular inside opening 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 thewall to
place the gaskets (see Fig 2.1).
• If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the cabinet
to the length and width of the top exhaust.
• Install 2 pieces of 1/4” ID wood thread inserts at the ceiling (see Fig.2.1 & 2.2).
• Place the gaskets (1/2” foam tape) on the mounting lip sides (see Fig 2.3).
• If top exhaust installation, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at thetop
of the cooling unit (see Fig.2.4).
• Move the cooling unit towards the mounting sides and push to press the
gaskets (see Fig 2.5).
• Use 2 brackets and ¼” screws with 7/16” wrench to secure the cooling unit
(see Fig 2.6).
• Install the cabinet grille on the cabinet exterior wall (see Fig. 2.7).
• Plug the cooling unit in the cabinet receptacle.
• Plug the wine cabinet.

3. WM-3500~8500HZD through-wall installation
Fig. 2.8 THROUGH- WALL INSTALLATION
• The cooling unit shall be mounted near the ceiling with equal distance from each
side of the room.
• Cut a rectangular opening at the wine room wall as illustrated. The dimensions of
the opening shall be 1/4” larger than the width and height of thecooling unit.
• If top exhaust installation, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the room
to the length and width of the top exhaust.
• Construct a shelf as shown. The shelf must be capable of supporting the weight of
the cooling unit and preventing it from moving.
• Place the cooling unit on the shelf with the back of the unit flush with the outside
of the wall.
• Seal the clearance between the cooling unit and opening with a high quality
weather stripping, polyurethane spray foam, or foam tape. Cover the seal with
molding and attach the molding to the wall not the unit.
• If top exhaust installation, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at the top
of the cooling unit.
• Install a wall grille on the room exterior wall.
• Plug the unit into a properly grounded and dedicated outlet of adequate capacity.

-14-
NOTE: The cooling unit can be installed with the front of the unit flush with
the inside of the wall. Construct a shelf outside the room accordingly.

4. 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. All joints, door frames, electrical outlets or switches and any pipes or
vents that go through the cellar shall be sealed to prevent airand moisture leakage
into the cellar. Concrete, rock, and brick are not insulation or vapor barriers.

-16-
Doors shall be of a minimum size, insulated to at least R13 and tightly sealed
with high quality weather stripping. Be sure to seal the bottom of the door and fill
gap between the door’s frame and wall before installing the cap molding.
In order to maintain 55 °F in the wine cellar, the ambient temperature surrounding
the enclosure shall not exceed the temperature of the cellar by morethan 25 °F.
No cellar wall shall receive direct sun or strong wind.
Lighting shall be of low wattage, with a timer to insure lights are not left on when
the cellar is not occupied.
The cooling system will not be able to maintain the proper temperature if fresh
moisture-laden air is constantly being introduced to the cellar. Symptoms of this
condition are; cooling unit runs all the time with only a slight reduction in
temperature and/or water overflows from the unit. Because of the temperature
difference between the inside and outside, very small cracks can allow large
amounts of outside air to enter into the cellar. Please be aware that moisture can
pass through solid concrete, paint and wood. Often a newly constructed cellar
contains fresh wood, paint, concrete and other building materials. These materials
contain large amounts of moisture. When placed into operation in this type of
environment, the system will work harder to remove this extra moisture resulting
in increased “run” time.

“CA” (with i1F=PAL) recovers only by switching off and on the instrument.
2. Temperature Setting
• Set the temperature at 55 °F for the optimum aging of wine
• On initial start-up, the time required to reach the desired temperature willvary,
depending on the quantity of bottles, temperature setting and surrounding
temperature.
• Allow 24 hours to stabilize the temperature for each new temperature setting
operation
