WINEMASTER  units  primarily  cool  the  air  inside  the  cellar  but  they  are  also  equipped  with  a  heater  which 
maintains an ideal temperature within the cellar even in the winter months. 
 
An integrated electronic thermostat pilots the functioning of the unit and  maintains the specific temperature 
selected while the electronic control panel displays the current mode of operation.

3.1. CAPACITY 

Subject  to  adequate  insulation,  the  WINEMASTER  will  maintain  an  ideal  temperature  in  cellars  of  up  to  a 
maximum volume of 50 m³. 
 
The  chart  on  page  5  shows  which  types  of  insulation  will  provide  the  level  of  insulation  necessary  for  your 
cellar. In order for the WINEMASTER to function efficiently, the cellar must be thoroughly insulated and the 
cellar volume must not be exceeded. 
 

3.2 TEMPERATURE MAINTENANCE 

The thermostat is pre-set at 12 °C and is adjustable between 2 and  20 °C, but it is strongly advised that 
the temperature is not adjusted frequently. 
 
The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside cellar within ±2 °C accuracy. The thermal inertia of 
the wine and the glass is such that within this temperature range the temperature of the wine will only 
fluctuate between 0.2° and 0.3° C. 
 
It is important to appreciate that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the cellar and 
the actual temperature of the wine. The WINEMASTER creates perfect thermal stability. 
 

3.3 HUMIDITY REGULATION 

The refrigeration unit creates a constant cycle of condensation-evaporation within the cellar. 
 
The humidity condensing on the evaporator is collected by the WINEMASTER. Then, some of this water is 
evaporated, thus stabilising the cellar humidity between 65% and 80%. The excess water is then routed 
into a drainage pipe which must be set into a container inside or outside of the cellar. 
 
It is important to understand that the humidity cannot be completely stabilized, because it  depends on 
exterior conditions that vary widely according to the region, the season, and the weather. In particular 
cases of extremely dry air, it may not be possible to sufficiently humidify the air. 
 
IMPORTANT:  In  order  for  accurate  humidity  regulation  and  efficient  functioning  of  the  WINEMASTER 
unit, you will need: 
- Complete insulation of the cellar (walls, floor, ceiling, door) with an airtight seal. 
- Perfect continuity of the insulation (no gaps). 

3.4. DEFROSTING

 The WINEMASTER C50-S/(SR) defrosts automatically by shutting down the compressor for 7 

minutes each hour.
