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.
