CHARACTERISTICS
TECHNICAL & DIMENSIONAL DRAWING
WINEARM15
Weight of appliance 31 kg
Dimensions of appliance L908xD439xH316
Cut-out dimensions 890 x 428
Temperature setting preset to 12°C, adjustable between 4 and 15°C *
Max. outside temperature 35°C **
Cooling power 500 W at 15°C **
Electrical power supply 235V-50 Hz + 3 metre cable
Absorbed electrical power 400 W
The circuit breaker must be ≥ 16 Amps
* With insulation appropriate to the temperature and volume of the cellar.
** Since the power diminishes as a function of the outside temperature, the appliance might lose its capacity to
maintain 12°C if the outside temperature nears 35°C.
If the thermal safety function is triggered too frequently, this may damage the compressor prematurely. In all cases,
you should ensure the temperature of the evacuation room is not 35°C on a permanent basis. This high temperature
should furthermore be limited to summer seasons only.

1.1. EVACUATION
1.2. CABINET INSULATION
The conditioning unit is installed in the ceiling of the wine cabinet. To work correctly, the appliance evacuates the air
outside at approximately 20°C above the inlet temperature.
The hot air produced by the conditioning unit must be correctly evacuated so that it is not reused for the cooling
function.
Maximum and non-permanent inlet temperature ≤ 35°C
Optimal inlet temperature ≈ 20°C
VENTILATED COOLING OR “NO FROST”
The benefits of ventilated cooling:
• No frost formation other than on the evaporator.
• Automatic defrost producing maximum refrigeration efficiency.
• Cold circulation improved by continuous air movement, no air stratification.
• Air circulation allows for rapid return to the preset temperature.
This is vital to ensure the efficient operation of the WINEMASTER®. Adequate insulation will help to ensure a better
temperature and humidity stability. The table below (Choice of insulation) assists with determining the type and
thickness of the necessary insulation as a function of the outside volume of the cellar and the WINEMASTER® model,
and based on an interior temperature of 12°C.
INSULATION CONTINUITY
The insulation elements should preferably be assembled:
• By “tongue and groove” panels, or
• By bonding the panels together
 OBJECTIVE: To prevent the unwanted entry of heat and moisture which would damage their tightness.
To prevent moisture migration in the cellar, a vapour barrier should be fitted at the cabinet installation site.

DID YOU KNOW?
Some insulating materials are damaged by rodents (mice, rats, etc.). You should therefore check that the cellar
walls have no orifices through which rodents can reach the insulation. If necessary, cover the insulation on the
inside of the cellar with a protective liner.
 Polyurethane as an insulating material, due to its chemical composition, will not be damaged by rodents.
1.2.1 WALLS, CEILING AND FLOOR INSULATION
Choice of insulation panels
The manufacturers recommend ≠ insulation panels:
• Single insulation panels,
• “Complex” insulation: insulation is covered with a cladding material (plaster, mineral, etc.),
• Sandwich: insulation is covered on each side with a wooden panel or plaster board.
Important: the covering protects the insulation from impact and guarantees its longevity. Avoid using mineral-
fibre insulation panels (glass wool, rock wool, etc.) as they can absorb moisture and lose their insulation power.
Furthermore, thin-layer insulation is not as effective for cold applications.
1.2.2 DOORS
These form part of the insulation continuity. There are two possible solutions:
• Glazed doors: double-glazing or even triple-glazing must be used with a good UG coefficient (max. 1.2 W/…….)
• If solid doors are used, they should be insulated in the same way as the other walls.
Floor insulation
The cellar floor must be able to support the racks and the wine stored. Insulation must therefore be chosen with a
sufficient compressive resistance.
Puncture resistance (particularly the rack legs) ensured by:
• “Complex” insulation panels, covering their top side with a sufficiently resistant panel.
• Covering the insulation with a chipboard panel (thickness around 15 mm), or any other appropriate covering (e.g.
screed and slab).

Separate the air flows. The free passage area of each grille is 200 cm². Separation A is not
supplied. Ensure the separation is adequately sealed.
Additional sound insulation can be installed. This is particularly useful for the
suction on all walls.
2.2.3 INSTALLATION OF THE WATER DRAIN-OFF
The conditioning unit has a condensate evaporation system. However, there is an overflow to evacuate excess water
caused by the inadequate sealing of the cabinet or the doors remaining open for too long. You can drain off the water
using a PVC pipe channelled to a receptacle.

The thermostat can be installed
in the cabinet, on the side of the
cabinet or outside the cabinet. Its
sensor (S) should be positioned
towards the return air zone (R). We
recommend that the end of the
sensor does not touch the partition
and is situated in the air flow.
The hood is inserted on the left at the point of the slots and
then screwed in. The cover is magnetic.
IF THE POWER CABLE IS DAMAGED, IT MUST BE REPLACED BY THE
MANUFACTURER, ITS AFTER-SALES SERVICE OR PERSONS WITH A
SIMILAR QUALIFICATION TO AVOID ANY RISKS.
IMPORTANT: AFTER TRANSPORT OR HANDLING, WAIT 24 HOURS
BEFORE CONNECTING THE CONDITIONING UNIT.
