Installation Instruction
Select a place to mount the unit where the exhaust airflow is unobstructed for a
minimum of 6 inch. The area into which the unit exhausts must be well ventilated.
If it is not, heat exhausted by the unit will build up and the unit will not operate
properly. The ambient temperatures shall not be higher than 90 °F or lower than
50 °F. Additionally, cold supply air from the front grille must remain unobstructed.
The unit shall be mounted near the ceiling with equal distance from each side of
the cabinet or room.
The cooling unit produces cooling supplied into the cabinet, and it also generates
heat that must be exhausted outside the cabinet. So the supply side and exhaust
side must be separated and sealed.
1. VINO1500-2500HZD 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 the wall to place the gaskets (see Fig 2.1 & 2.2).
•If top exhaust, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the cabinet to
the length and width of the top exhaust.
•Make 2 holes at the ceiling to install the 1/4 inside diameter wood thread
inserts (see Fig.2.1 & 2.4).
•Place the gaskets (1/2” foam tape) on the mounting lip sides (see Fig 2.2).
•If top exhaust, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at the top of
the cooling unit (see Fig.2.3).
•Move the cooling unit towards the mounting sides and push to press the
gaskets (see Fig 2.5).
•Fasten the 2 brackets and use 7/16” wrench to tighten the two ¼” screws
(see Fig 2.6).
•Attach the exhaust and fresh air grille from the rear side of the cellar (see
Fig 2.7).
•Plug the cooling unit in receptacle.
•Plug the wine cellar.

2. VINO3500-8500HZD THROUGH WALL INSTALLATION
1. 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
the unit.
2. If top exhaust, cut another rectangular opening at the top of the cabinet to
the length and width of the top exhaust.
3. Construct a shelf as shown. The shelf must be capable of supporting the
weight of the unit.
4. Place the unit on the shelf with the back of unit flush with the outside of
the wall.
5. Attach the grille to the outside wall with screws.
6. Seal the area between the cooling unit and opening with a high quality
weather stripping or polyurethane spray foam and cover with molding.
7. If top exhaust, place another gaskets along the top exhaust at the top of
the cooling unit (see Fig.2.9).
8. Attach the molding to the wall not the unit.
9. Plug the unit into a properly grounded and dedicated outlet of adequate
capacity.

3. 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 R11
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 enclosure shall be sealed to prevent air and moisture
leakage into the room. Concrete, rock, and brick are not insulation or vapor
barriers.
Doors shall be of a minimum size, insulated to at least R11 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 enclosure by
more than 25 °F. No enclosure 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 enclosure 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 enclosure. Symptoms of
this condition are; 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 enclosure. Please be aware that moisture can pass
through solid concrete, paint and wood. Often a newly constructed room 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.
4. Electrical Cord
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 grounding plug 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 VINO1500-2500HZD, 115
V, 20 A or equivalent for VINO3500-8500HZD and not greater than 15ft in length.
NOTES:
1) DO NOT INSTALL ANY DUCTS ONTO THE SUPPLY, INTAKE ANY
EXHAUST.
2) MOUNTING BRACKETS, SCREWS, GASKETS AND OTHER SEAL
MATERIALS ARE NOT INCLUDED.

Temperature Control & Humidity Adjustment
1. Temperature Setting
•Set the temperature at 55 °Ffor the optimum aging of wine
•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
Fig. 3.1 DIGITAL 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.
1.1 LED Functions
1.2 Front Panel Commands

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 stops as soon as the temperature returns to normal value. Alarm
“CA” (with i1F=PAL) recovers only by switching off and on the instrument.
3) Temperature Set-Point

Care Guide
1. Coil Cleaning
•Clean the condenser coil regularly. Coil may need to be cleaned at least
every 6 months.
•Coil is on the ambient air intake side of the cooling unit.
•Unplug the unit or disconnect power.
•Use a condenser brush or a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to
clean the coil when it is dusty or dirty.
•Plug the cooling unit or reconnect power.
2. Moisture Removing
•Remove the extra condensate if it is accumulated in the wine cellar at high
humidity condition.
3. Drain Line
VINO3500-8500HZD units are equipped with a drain line fitting. In case there is a
drain line needed, remove the drain plug on the bottom left at the rear, then
remove the fitting plug, add a drain tube onto the drain fitting, 0.25” ID tube for
VINO3500-4500HZD and 0.5”ID tube for VINO6500-8500HZD

2.Fan running

a. See 4) to set FON = 0
3.Temperature
fluctuating a. Air sensor a. When using an air sensor, the wine
bottle temperature is mainly
controlled by the average air
temperature. If the set-point is 55°F
with the differential 4F, the cooling
unit turns on at 59°F of air
temperature and turns off at 55°F of
air temperature. The average air
temperature is 57°F, and then the
wine temperature is around 57+/-
0.5°F. The air is light enough to
change so quickly that it maintains
relatively constant average
temperature that would prevent wine
bottle temperature from varying.
