Installer’s  Instructions 

 

WARNING 

 

Do not use a ground fault interrupter (GFI). A 
dedicated circuit is required. 

 

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.  

 

Federal law requires that WINE~MATE split cooling systems be 

installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician. 

1.  General Instructions 

 

WINE~MATE split system is shipped as components and is ready for use only after 
a  certified  refrigeration  technician  has  properly  installed  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 and electrical 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  lines 
are connected, the system must be checked for restriction, pressurization and leak. 
Then  the  system  must  be  evacuate  and  charged  with  refrigerant.  Refrigerant 
amount will vary depending on the length of line set. 

 

Parts included: 

 

Temperature Controller 
Evaporator Unit (liquid line solenoid valve and expansion valve are installed) 
Condensing Unit (pressure control, water regulation valve, discharge and suction 
valves and installed) 
Liquid Filter 
Liquid Indicator
