Feature Description  
WineMate cooling unit is designed and used to provide a stable  
temperature between 52~62 °F for suitable space at a normal  
environment.  
The refrigerated space will maintain humidity of 50~70% RH even when  
the environment becomes dry and humid.  
These temperatures and humilities are optimized for long term storage of  
wine, fur and tobacco.  
SSH units are designed to provide chilled air to wine rooms and can be  
located up to 25 ft away to reduce noise.  
The condensing unit is located away from the wine cellar or other  
refrigerated enclosure as far as 50 feet, which will bring you extremely  
quiet operation.

Installation Instruction  
Federal law requires that WINEMATE split cooling systems be  
installed by an EPA certified refrigeration technician.  
1. Location  
Place the condensing unit in a properly ventilated location. If it is not, heat  
exhausted by the condensing unit will build up and the cooling system will  
not operate properly.  
Leave minimum 3 feet clearance between the exhaust side and the wall.  
Leave minimum 1 foot clearance for the fresh air supply side.  
Condensing unit should be elevated to avoid possible flooding and shaded  
from direct sun. It should not be exposed to temperatures higher than 125  
°F or lower than 20 °F.  
Air flow from the unit cooler should be unobstructed for at least 1 foot.

WINEMATE split system is shipped as components and is ready for use only  
after a certified refrigeration technician has properly installed and tested the  
system. Proper installation is critical. WINEMATE can only warrant the quality of  
the components. The installation and proper operation of the system must be  
warranted by the installer.  
- 5 -  
Installation of the system must be done in accordance with all state and local  
building codes.  
The condensing unit and unit cooler are connected by a liquid line and an  
insulated suction line that are supplied by the installer. These lines must be  
properly sized for the distance between the two units. After the units and the lines  
are installed, the system must be pressure tested. If no leaks are found,  
evacuate and charge system with R134A. Refrigerant amount will vary  
depending on the length of line set.  
3. Air Sensor  
The air sensor is recommended to place in the wine room. If it is in a return duct,  
the temperature differential may lead to erroneous readings.  
4. Electrical Wiring  
We strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if  
you still select to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it is  
a UL LISTED 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord. The  
marked rating of the extension cord should be 115 V, 20 A. or equivalent  
and not greater than 15ft in length.  
1) Customer Wiring  
- 6 -  
If the air sensor can not reach the wine room because of the distance  
between the cooling unit and wine room, you need to remount the  
electrical box.  
Remove the 3 black, white and green wires that come from the cooling  
unit in the electrical terminal  
Remove the electrical box and mount it close to the wine room so the air  
sensor can reach the wine room  
Use extra wires to connect the terminal in the electrical box and the 3  
white, black and green wires from the cooling unit.

Use & Temperature Control  
1. Temperature Setting  
Set the temperature at 55 °F for the optimum aging of wine  
On initial start-up, the time required to reach the desired temperature  
will vary, depending on the quantity of bottles, temperature setting  
and surrounding temperature.  
Allow 24 hours to stabilize the temperature for each new temperature  
setting operation  
2. Use of the controller  
Dip Switch Setting  
- 9 -  
1) Set Point  
Rotate the circular selector in correspondence with the arrow placed nearby. The  
selector represents -33°F to 50°F (-35°C to +10°C) for low temperature models,  
and 14°F to 68°F (-10°C to +20°C) for medium temperature models. “10” is the  
coldest setting, “1” is the warmest.  
2) Differential  
It is possible to modify the differential from 1°F minimum to 12.5°F maximum.  
Simply shift the first two dip-switches to the ON or OFF position according to the  
wanted value.  
3) Defrost management and setting  
A defrost can be activated manually, by pressing the “man. def.” button, or  
cyclically, the interval set by the “def.intvl” rotary switch at the top left with respect  
to Set Point selector. The interval can be selected from 1 to 12 hours in 1 hour  
steps. If the selector is positioned on the “0”, the cyclic defrost is disabled.  
Note: manual defrost reinitializes the time required for successive cyclic  
defrosting. The selections are effective beginning from the successive cycle. For  
an immediate effect, it is necessary to turn power to the UniStat off for a few  
seconds.  
It is possible to choose between an electric defrost (the compressor is  
deactivated and the defrost relay is activated) and a hot gas defrost (both the  
compressor and the defrost relay are activated); The defrost termination, can  
take place by time (from 1 to 60 min.) or by temperature (from 0 to 86°F) if the  
defrost sensor is utilized for the correct programming). If the defrost sensor is  
disconnected, interrupted or breaks down for any reason, the defrost terminates  
after a maximum time of 90 minutes if it is resistance-based, or 40 minutes if it is  
hot-gas based.  
The instrument stores the defrost state every 15 minutes to allow restart after  
power loss.  
4) Compressor safety function  
If the function is enabled, a minimum three minute interval is ensured between  
deactivation and successive restart of the compressor.  
If the function is enabled, the compressor is not energized for three minutes after  
controller power up.  
The function is also active in hot-gas defrost mode.

Care Guide  
In general, always unplug system or disconnect power while doing care.  
1. Coil Cleaning  
Clean the condenser coil regularly. Coil may need to be cleaned at  
least every 6 months.  
Unplug the system or disconnect power.  
Use a vacuum cleaner with an extended attachment to clean the coil  
when it is dusty or dirty.  
Plug cooling system or reconnect power.  
2. Moisture Removing  
Remove the extra condensate if it is accumulated in the wine cellar at  
high ambient temperature and humidity.
