Important Safety Information
NOTES:
• Do not plug in until 24 hours after delivery.
• Do not use a ground fault interrupter (GFI).
• Do not use an electrical extension cord.
• A dedicated 30 AMP circuit is 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.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
•Disconnect electrical supply from appliance before servicing.
•Replace all panels before operating.
•Failure to do so could result in death or electrical shock.

Features and Specifications
oHZD-DE series cooling units are designed and used to provide a stable
temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated space.
oThe refrigerated space will maintain humidity ranges within 50~70% RH.
oThese temperature and humidity ranges are optimized for long termstorage
of wine.
oTemperature is controlled and humidity is adjusted using
▪innovative technology.
oHorizontal cold-air supply is optimized for use in the wine cellars.
oBackward-curved impeller fan can duct the condenser hot air 50 ft in totalto
exhaust outside.
oThe 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 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 shall not be higher than 100°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:
oMounting brackets, screws, gaskets and other seal materials are not included.
oDo not install any ducts onto the cold-air supply and cellar-air return.
oDucts can be used on the hot-air exhaust and ambient-air intake side
oMounting 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 thecooling 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 withmolding 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.
