Features and Specifications
•HZD-DE series cooling units are designed and used to provide a stable
temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated space.
•The refrigerated space will maintain humidity ranges 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.
•Horizontal cold-air supply is optimized for use in the wine cellars.
•Backward-curved impeller fan can duct the condenser hot air 50 ft in total
to exhaust outside.
•The unit is self-contained ready for easy installation and use.

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 ambient
temperatures 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 shall not be higher than 100°F or lower than
50°F in order to operate properly.

Installation Instructions
NOTES:
•Mounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included.
•Do not install any ducts onto the cold-air supply and cellar-air return.
•Ducts can be used on the hot-air exhaust and ambient-air intake side
•Mounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included.
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 cellar-air return side and the hot-air exhaust with 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” clearance
all 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-6500~8500HZD-DE through-wall installation
Fig. 2.1 THROUGH- WALL INSTALLATION
•The cooling unit shall be mounted near the ceiling with equal distance from
each side of the cellar.
•Cut a rectangular opening at the wine cellar wall as illustrated. The
dimensions of the opening shall be 1/4” larger than the width and height of the
cooling unit.
•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.
•Attach the adapter of hot-air exhaust duct hood to the rear of the cooling unit
with screws; then attach the hot-air exhaust duct hood with adhesive tapes.
•Attach the ambient-air duct hood to the rear of the cooling unit with adhesive
tapes.
•Attach the insulated ducts to the hoods with adhesive tapes.
•Secure the ducts with conduits to the cellar exterior walls and make sure they
are not curled, twisted, bent and clogged.
•Plug the unit into a properly grounded and dedicated outlet of adequate
capacity.

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 cellar accordingly.
•The exhaust and intake ducts can be 50 ft in total.

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 air and moisture
leakage into the cellar. Concrete, rock, and brick are not insulation or vapor
barriers.
