Feature Description
•WineMate split cooling system is designed and used to provide a stable
temperature between 52~62 °F for suitable space at a normal
environment.
•The refrigerated space will maintain humidity of 50~70% RH even when
the environment becomes dry and humid.
•These temperatures and humilities are optimized for long term storage of
wine, fur and tobacco.
•SSW units are designed for installation between two wall studs, making
them an ideal choice for small and medium wine rooms.
•The condensing unit is located away from the wine cellar or other
refrigerated enclosure as far as 50 feet, which will bring you extremely
quiet operation.
The dimension and capacity are specified as follows:

Installation Instruction
Federal law requires that WINEMATE split cooling systems be
installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician.
1. Location
•Place the condensing unit in a properly ventilated location. If it is not, heat
exhausted by the condensing unit will build up and the cooling system will
not operate properly.
•Leave minimum 3 feet clearance between the exhaust side and the wall.
•Leave minimum 1 foot clearance for the fresh air supply side.
•Condensing unit should be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded
from direct sun. It should not be exposed to temperatures higher than 125
°F or lower than 20 °F.
•Air flow from the unit cooler should be unobstructed for at least 1 foot.

VINO2500SSW 3/8 3/8
WINEMATE split system is shipped as components and is ready for use only
after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed and tested the
system. Proper installation is critical. WINEMATE can only warrant the quality of
the components. The installation and proper operation of the system must be
warranted by the installer.
Installation of the system must be done in accordance with all state and local
building codes.

The condensing unit and unit cooler are connected by a liquid line and an
insulated suction line that are supplied by the installer. These lines must be
properly sized for the distance between the two units. After the units and the lines
are installed, the system must be pressure tested. If no leaks are found,
evacuate and charge system with R134A. Refrigerant amount will vary
depending on the length of line set.
3. Electrical Wiring
•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. The
marked rating of the extension cord should be 115 V, 20 A. or equivalent
and not greater than 15ft in length.

Use & Temperature Control
1. Temperature Setting
•Set the temperature at 55 °Ffor the optimum aging of wine
•Set the temperature higher at very high ambient temperature.
•On initial start-up, the time required to reach the desired temperature
will vary, depending on the quantity of bottles, temperature setting
and surrounding temperature.
•Allow 24 hours to stabilize the temperature for each new temperature
setting operation
2. Use of the controller
1) Display
During normal operating conditions, the display shows the value measured by
the air regulation probe. In case of active alarm, the temperature flashes
alternately to the code alarm.

2) Alarm Signals
2.1 Code Description
2.2 Alarm Recovery
Probe alarms P1”, start a few seconds after the fault in the related probe; they
automatically stop a few seconds after the probe restarts normal operation.
Check connections before replacing the probe. Temperature alarms “HA”, “LA”
automatically stop as soon as the temperature returns to normal value. Alarm
“CA” (with i1F=PAL) recovers only by switching off and on the instrument.
3) Set-Point (desired temperature value)
3.1 How to see the set-point
1. Push and immediately release the SET key: the display will show the Set-point
value;
2. Push and immediately release the SET key or wait for 5 seconds to display the
probe value again.
3.2 How to change the set-point

- 9 -
1. Push the SET key for more than 3 seconds to change the Set point value;
2. The value of the set point will be displayed and the “°C” or “°F” LED starts
blinking;
3. To change the Set value, push the o or n arrows within 10s.
4. To memorize the new set point value, push the SET key again or wait 10s.
4) Manual Defrost
Push the DEF key for more than 2 seconds and a manual defrost will start.
