Installation Instruction
NOTES:
1) DO NOT INSTALL ANY DUCTS ONTO THE SUPPLY, INTAKE AND
EXHAUST.
2) MOUNTING BRACKETS, SCREWS, GASKETS AND OTHER SEAL
MATERIALS ARE NOT INCLUDED.
1. Cabinet Location
•
Place the wine cabinet in a properly ventilated location. Otherwise, heat
exhausted by the cooling unit will build up and it will not operate properly.
•
The exhaust area must not be closed space and must be ventilated. The
ambient temperatures shall not be higher than 78
°
F for a WM-1500HTD
unit and 95
°
F for a WM-2500HTD unit or lower than 50
°
F.
1) Rear Exhaust Location
•
Leave min 6 “clearance from the rear to the wall.
•
Leave min 12” clearance from the top to the ceiling.
•
Leave min 6” clearance from the left and right sides.
2) Front Exhaust Location
•
Leave min 6” clearance from the front if left and right sides unobstructed.
•
Or, leave min 36” clearance from the front if left and right sides obstructed
3) Top Exhaust Location
•
Leave min 12” from the top to the ceiling.
•
Leave min 2 “clearance from the rear to the wall.
•
Leave min 2” clearance from the left and right sides.
4) Side Exhaust Location
•
Leave min 6 “clearance from the left or right side to the wall.
•
Leave min 12” clearance from the top to the ceiling.
2. Cooling Unit Installation
•
The cooling unit produces cooling supplied into the cabinet, and it also
generates heat that must be exhausted outside the cabinet. So the cold
supply side and hot exhaust side must be separated and sealed (see Fig.
2.5 & 2.6). Foam tape may be used to seal them. The cooling unit must
intake adequate fresh ambient-air to work properly. The ambient-air intake
and warm-air exhaust must not be short-circulated. A piece of wood may
be used to separate them.
•
Cut a rectangular inside opening at the rear of the cabinet with the 1/4”
clearance inwards to the width and height of the cooling unit. By not going
through, leave 1/2” lip inside at the wall to place the gaskets (see Fig. 2.1
& 2.3).
