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.

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. Air Sensor
The air sensor is recommended to place in the wine room. If it is in a return duct,
the temperature differential may lead to erroneous readings.
4. 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.

•If the air sensor can not reach the wine room because of the distance
between the cooling unit and wine room, you need to remount the
electrical box.
•Remove the 3 black, white and green wires that come from the cooling
unit in the electrical terminal
•Remove the electrical box and mount it close to the wine room so the air
sensor can reach the wine room
•Use extra wires to connect the terminal in the electrical box and the 3
white, black and green wires from the cooling unit.
