WINESP40CAPRO
Outside unit Inside unit
Weight of units 35 kg 17 kg
Dimensions H x L x D 408 x 633 x 415 262 x 517 x 327
Temperature setting Preset at 12°C, adjustable between 4 & 15°C *
Maximum outside temperature. 40°C **
Cooling power 900 W at 15°C **
Electricity supply 230/240V-50 Hz

Heating power 500 W
Gas R404A
The circuit breaker must be at least 16 Amps.
*The insulation has to be in accordance with the volume of the cellar and the set temperature.
** The cooling performance is dependant from the outside temperature. Therefore, the set temperature
of 12°C for the cellar cannot be maintained if the outside temperature reaches the 40°C.
If the thermal safety functions to often, there is a risk for the compressor to be damaged. In all cases, it
must be avoid that the outside temperature remains at 40°C, this high temperature should be limited
to the summer period.
VENTILATED COLD OR « NO FROST » ( schematic diagram)
The advantages of « ventilated cold »:
-No frost other than on the evaporator.
-Automatic defrosting and maximized refrigeration efficiency.
-Cold distribution improved by a permanent air circulation (without air stratification).
The circulation of air allows maintaining the pre-selected temperature throughout the cellar

2. EQUIPMENT
The air conditioner is composed of 2 separate units, of a thermostat and a wiring box. They must be
connected by frigorific ducting pipes and electric connections.
The ducting pipes length between both units should not exceed 20m.
2.1. Outside unit
The unit must be installed outside or in a room.
If the unit is installed outside:
-Place the unit in order the air suction and air rejection are not disturbed
-Encourage the installation in open areas and sheltered from the sun
-Be cautious to the noise to the neighborhood
-Raise the unit to prevent from accumulation of water and snow
If the unit is installed in a room :
-Place the unit in order the air suction and air rejection are not disturbed
-Ensure there is a good ventilation
-Maximum temperature and non permanent≤40°C
-Ideal temperature ≈20°C.
2.2. Inside unit
Install the inside unit only inside the cellar.
2.3. Thermostat
The thermostat can be installed either inside or outside the cellar.
If installed outside, take into consideration the length of the temperature probe to be installed into the
cellar.
The delivered probe has a length of 1.5m. It can be extended by flexible cable isolated to 2 drivers of
minimal section of 0.5mm2.
2.4. Connection box
The connection box can be installed too either inside or outside the cellar.
If installed outside, take into consideration the cable length ( 2 m)

2.6. Cellar insulation
Insulation is essential for an efficient functioning of the WINEMASTER®. An appropriate insulation
enables to maintain a stable temperature and humidity level. The chart on the next page will allow
you to determine the type and thickness of insulation needed in relation to the exterior volume of the
cellar and the model of the WINEMASTER®, for an inside temperature of 12°C.
Insulation complement
The insulating elements should be preferably installed:
-By “tongue and groove “ panels or
-By fused together panels
IMPORTANT : Avoid heat and humidity intrusion which can alter their regulation

2.6.1. Insulation of walls, ceiling and floor
Type of insulation panels
You can select among the following type of panels:
-Usual panels,
-« Complex panels »: insulation is covered with a with a cover material (plaster, mineral …..)
-« Sandwich panels »: insulation is covered on each side with a wooden panel or plaster board.
Important: The covering of the panels protects the insulation against damage and guarantees its
longevity. Avoid using mineral fibres insulation (glasswool, rockwool, etc…) as they may
accumulate moisture and lose their insulation power and avoid also thin film insulation that are not
effective for cold.
DO YOU KNOW THAT ?
Some insulating materials are damaged by rodents. If necessary, cover the insulation with a protective
lining on the inside of the cellar to avoid presence of mouse or rats.
Polyurethane is an insulator that, due to its chemical composition, is not attacked by the
rodents.
Floor insulation
The floor of the cellar must be able to support the shelves and the stored wine. Thus, it’s necessary to
choose insulation with adequate compression strength.
Improve the load capacity of the insulation (particularly under the shelve legs) by using :
-« Complex » insulation panels covered by panels of higher load capacity.
-Cover the insulation panel with a wooden panel (at least 15 mm thickness), or every other
appropriated material.
2.6.2. The door
Door improves the insulation. Two solutions are possible:
-Insulate an existing door with the same insulation materials used for the walls of the
cellar. Provide a tight seal between the door frame and all sides of the door with a strip of foam
rubber for example.
Use a specially design FONDIS isothermal door with polyurethane and a sealing foam

2.6.3. Insulation of other elements
Avoid placing a wine cabinet or freezer who generates heat in the cellar. The central heating pipes
should be re-isolated during their passage through the cellar.

the adapted parts
3.2.2. Fixing the outside unit
-Screw the 4 anti-vibration pins on the unit
-Place the air conditioner on the brackets

INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL WINESP40CAPRO

3.3. Installation of the inside unit
Due to the diversity of installations and the type of locations, each installer must adapt to the constraints
of its installation.
-Provide openings on the bottom for
suction and blowing
-Provide space for refrigeration and
electrical connections and the passage of
the condensate drain
-The suction and blowing should in no way
be even partially obstructed
-The blowing and suction should be
separated to avoid a resumption of the air
supply, even partially (for checking, the
suction temperature should be the same
as the room temperature when the unit
produced cold)
3.4. Ducting connection
THE PIPE CONNECTION HAS TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY A PROFESSIONNAL.
Both units are loaded with an inert gas (nitrogen). Connect the 2 units by a copper line 1/4" for the liquid
line and 3/8" for the gas line. The nuts are provided. Put them on the copper rigid pipe before performing
the extender.
The maximum length is of 20 m, the maximum elevation is 10 meters. The number of bends per link
must not exceed 10.
Lenghts Gas loading (R404A)
0-5 m 900 g
5 to 10 m 1000 g
10 to 15 m 1100 g
15 to 20 m 1200 g
When all is working properly, before disconnecting the pipes, unscrew fully the valves.
Disconnect then the pipes and replace the gaps on the valves.
