Technical data
WINEARM15
Weight of the unit 31 kg
Dimensions (mm) W908xD439xH316
Dimensions découpe 890 x 428
Temperature setting Set to 12°C, adjustable between 4 and 15°C *
Outside maximum temperature 35°C **
Cooling power 500 W at 15°C **
Electric supply 235V-50 Hz + 3 m length cable
Absorbed electric power 400 W
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 ( see data
page 6).
** 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 35°C.
If the thermal safety functions too often, there is a risk for the compressor to be damaged. In all cases, it
must be avoid that the temperature in the evacuation room remains constantly at 35°C, this high
temperature should be limited to the summer period.

1. WINE CABINET BUILDING
The air conditioner is installed across the ceiling of the wine cabinet. For a correct functioning, the appli-
ance releases air to the outside at about 20°C above the suction temperature.
1.1. Air rejection
The hot air produced by the air conditioner must be properly vented so that it’s not sucked for
the cooling.
Maximum and non permanent suction temperature ≤35°C
Ideal suction temperature≈20°C
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
1.2. Wine cabinet 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 cel-
lar and the model of the WINEMASTER®, for an inside temperature of 12°C.
.
Complete insulation
The insulation elements must be assembled, preferably:
- By tongue and groove “ panels or
- By panels fused together
.
GOAL: To avoid parasitic input of heat and humidity, this would harm their regulation.
In order to avoid moisture migration in the basement, it is necessary to install a vapor barrier
where the wine cabinet is installed.

Insulation materials
1.2.1. 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 (glass wool, 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.

1.2.2. Doors
Door improves the insulation. Two solutions are possible:
-Glazed doors: use double glazing or even triple glazing with a good coefficient UG (max.
1.2 W / .......)
-In the case of solid doors, these must be insulated in the same way as the other walls
2. INSTALLATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER WINEMASTER
®
THE APPLIANCE MUST BE INSTALLED BY COMPLYING WITH THE NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION RULES
2.1. Ceiling drilling
Cut the ceiling in order to create a cutout for the air conditioner
Cutting of the ceiling and adjustment of the notches if they
are used
Necessary material (not delivered) Material included in the box

2.2. Fitting the air conditioner
2.2.1. Fitting the air conditioner from the inside of the wine cabinet
The air conditioner can be placed in the ceiling from inside the cabinet and locked with the 4 rotary tabs integrated
in the air conditioner.
Install the air conditioner in the cutout Rotate the 4 tabs
Screw with the supplied 4 x 6 screws
2.2.2. Fitting the air condition from above
In the case of a top installation, it is possible to disassemble the 4 rotary tabs used to hold the air
conditioner and to use the brackets supplied.

2.2.3. Setting up the water flow
The air conditioner has a condensate evaporation system. However, there is an overflow through
which excess water can escape due to insufficient waterproofing of the cabinet or excessive open-
ing of the doors. It can be connected by means of a PVC pipe supplied to a container.

2.2.5. Fitting the thermostat
The thermostat can be placed in the cabinet or on the front or outside the cabinet. Its probe (S) must be placed towards
the air intake area (R). It is advisable to ensure that the end of the probe does not touch the bulkhead and is in the air
flow..
If the connecting cable is damaged, it has to be replaced by either
the producer, , his after sale service or qualified people in order to avoid
any danger.

Important :
After transport or handling, wait for 24 hours before plug in the air
conditioner.
3. START USING THE AIR CONDITIONER WINEMASTER®
The thermostat indicates the temperature into the wine cellar with a precision of 2°C.
The thermostat is set at 12°C in the factory. During installation, the set temperature must be controlled
and adjusted following our process (§3.2.1).
3.1. Plug in the air conditioner
When you start the air conditioner, the room temperature is displayed:
- If the temperature is higher than the thermostat setting: the air conditioner starts after a delay of 2
minutes.
- If the temperature is lower than the thermostat setting: the compressor does not start.Only the fan
from inside unit works.
3.2. Using the air conditioner
3.2.1. Setting the temperature
The setting of the targeted temperature is made as follows :
-Press on button one second until the set point temperature flashes.
-Use the button to increase the set point temperature.
-Use the button to decrease the set point temperature.
-When the right temperature is set, press on button to confirm.
Expanation of the main display symbols:
Red light = cold mode engaged (compressor)
Red light = cooling fan in high speed
Red light and « dF » code = automatic defrost engaged

VERSION 2.0 01/03/2017
USER GUIDE WINEARM15 Page 13
Red light = heating mode engaged (resistance)
Red light = alarm (a flashing message indicates the nature)
« IA » code = external alarm or open door (depending model)
« dEF » code = manual defrost engaged (see 3.2.4)
3.2.2. Standy mode
-Standby mode: maintain a 3 seconds pressure on button 1. The compressor
stops and the fan turns at low speed.
-The thermostat shows « OFF » and alternatively the wine cellar tempera-
ture.
-To come back, press again during 3 seconds on button 1.
-The thermostat indicates « ON » during 1 second.
3.2.3. Automatic defrost
The program of the thermostat will run an automatic defrost time several times a day. During this
operation, the compressor is stopped, only the fan is functioning at low speed. The condensate water pro-
duced during this period will be evacuated into the evaporation container located under the compressor
inside the air conditioner Winemaster®. If necessary, the overflow is evacuated through the hole located
next to the dust filter access door.
3.2.4. Manual defrost
-The manual defrost is not necessary but can be achieved by a 3 seconds
pressure on button 3. The compressor stops.
-The thermostat shows « dEF » and alternatively the wine cellar tempera-
ture.
-To come back, press again during 3 seconds on button 3.
-The thermostat indicates « ON » during 1 second
4. MAINTENANCE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER WINEMASTER®
4.1. Filter maintenance
The unit is equipped with a dust filter. This protects the air conditioner from fouling. The dust filter must
be checked regularly and replaced at least once a year. The filter is accessible from the bottom of the
air conditioner.
