Installer’s Instruction
Federal law requires that WINE-MATE split cooling systems be
installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician.
WINE-MATE split system is shipped as components and is ready for use only
after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed and tested the
system. Proper installation is critical. Vinotemp 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 evaporator unit 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.
1. Condensing Unit
•
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 5 feet clearance for the exhaust side and leave minimum
1 foot clearance for the fresh air intake side.
•
Condensing unit should be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded
from direct sun. It should not be exposed to temperatures higher than 110
°
F or lower than 45
°
F (optional low ambient kit for 20
°
F).
2. Evaporator Unit
•
The WM25-85SFCD evaporator units should be installed for ceiling mount
with air supply on both sides and air return on the bottom.
