Installing the Drain Line
Connect the clear plastic tube (included) to the drainport. The drain line must extend from the system to an
external drain or disposal site. Do not use drain tubing any smaller than ½ inch inside dimension on the
system.
If no floor drain is available, use a bucket or condensate pump. Do not extend the drain below the
rim of the bucket. Empty the bucket periodically.
Allow enough height for the drain line to function properly. If draining into a nearby sink, the system
must be elevated higher than the rim of the sink for the water to drain by gravity. Install with a ¼ inch
per linear foot of pitch. See Accessories and Optional Equipment on page 10 for information about
the condensate pump.
•
If you consistently have water present from the overflow port you will need to permanently
pipe the drain to an open floor drain, sink, or condensate pump.
•
If you experience NO water you may wish to remove the plastic drain hose and install the
plastic drain port cover (included).
Priming the Drain Trap
The internal drain trap primes itself automatically once the unit has run for a period of time and
after the system cycles off. This is confirmed by water dripping from the drain.
Wiring the System for Power
WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
The electrical outlet and wiring installation must meet the national and local building codes.
DO:
✓
Match the electrical outlet to the plug provided on the Wine Guardian.
✓
Provide dedicated circuit and wiring for the system.
✓
Match the wiring and breaker size to the rated load as shown on the serial
plate and in this guide. See sample serial plate illustration below.
DO NOT:
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUGS IN ANY WAY!
Do not use extension cords.
IMPORTANT
The electrical power supply must be 115-volt AC 1 phase 60 cycle (240-volt AC 1 phase 50 cycle),
depending on the model of the system, and cannot vary more than +/- 4% or damage may occur to the unit.
