Liquid Measuring Thermostat
LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT
SYSTEM
All Vinothèque brand cabinets come equipped with our Precision Digital Technology liquid
temperature measuring thermostat system. This system incorporates the following
advantages:
1. Self-calibrating probe: The probe contains a censor chip, which actually
communicates back and forth to the thermostat. This results in a consistent
temperature setting and accuracy.
2. Built in Defrost cycle: The unit is designed to shut off for five minutes every ninety
minutes in order to prevent frost build up. This allows the cooling unit to continue to
cool effectively in demanding environments. A count down timer is observed by
depressing the center button on the thermostat. (PDT upgrade version only)
3. Heavy-duty circuitry: The circuitry within this new unit has been upgraded to resist
power surges, which play havoc on electrical components. This improvement will
ensure years of trouble free use. However, for high reliability, we still recommend that
the customer install a surge protector for the unit itself.
4. Fahrenheit and Celsius readout: The thermostat has the ability to produce the
readout in both Fahrenheit and Celsius for overseas customers. The readout can be
changed by depressing both the center and right buttons at the same time. (PDT
upgrade version only)
Measuring liquid temperature has a few unique advantages.
1. Wine temperature is kept in a very precise controlled environment. This assures a
consistent temperature.
2. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will run less often.
To Use the thermostat:
1. Locate an empty wine bottle.
2. Fill 3/4 full with cool temperature tap water.
3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle.
4. Place bottle with probe in the middle of the cabinet on the left side.
Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord. It may become disconnected resulting in non
operation of the unit.
Note: Thermostat can be set between 50°F and 76°F.
Remember : The Vinothèque System is based on the temperature of the wine . Do not be
misled by ambient temperatures that are read from the outside of the cabinet. The air
temperature in the cabinet will be cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it's
coming to optimum balanced temperature.
