CHARACTERISTICS

cable)
Electrical power| 1250W
Gas| R407C without CFC
Refrigerant gas| 1000g
Length of refrigerant flexible connection| 4.50 m or 8 m

The circuit breaker must be at least 16 Amps.

• The insulation quality and thickness must be in accordance with the volume of the cellar and the set temperature.
  ** The cooling performance is dependant from the outside temperature. Therefore, the set temperature of 12°C for the cellar cannot be maintained if the outside temperature of the cellar is maintained at 35°C.
  If the thermal safety functions too often, there is a risk for the condensator and starter to be damaged. In all the cases, it must be avoided that the outside temperature remains at 35°C, this high temperature should be limited to the summer period.

DIMENSIONS

LAYOUT OF PREMISES

The air-conditioner is composed by two separate units which are connected by an electric and refrigerant flexible cable of 4.5 mts and 8 mts for the SP100-8 models. The distance between the two units cannot be more than 4.5 mts or 8 mts according to the models
1.1 INDOOR UNIT
The indoor unit is entirely installed inside the cellar directly on the floor or fixed on the wall with adapted special brackets.
1.2 OUTSIDE UNIT
The outside unit must be fixed on an outside wall in an area free from obstruction which may cause irregular air distribution and/or return in front and back of the unit.
1.3 THE CELLAR
1.3.1 INSULATION
Insulation of the 4 walls, the door, the ceiling and the floor is essential for the Winemaster to work properly.
Adequate insulation helps to obtain the stability of the temperature and the humidity.
The board on the next page (choice of insulation) can be used to determine the type and the thickness of insulation needed according to the internal volume of the cellar and a cellar temperature of 12°C.
Insulation continuity:
Insulation components must be assembled preferably by interlocking panels or gluing the panels together, to ensure perfect continuity of insulation.
This is very important: it prevents heat and humidity entering from the outside which would counter the effects of regulation.
IMPORTANT
The validity of the WINEMASTER guarantee depends on the values in the “Choice of insulation” table being strictly respected, for all the cellar walls, including floor and ceiling + door, as well as perfect continuity of insulation and installation in accordance with the user guide.

1.3.3 WALL AND CEILING INSULATION
The manufacturers propose their insulation panels in several forms:

• insulation alone
  – “complexes”: the insulation is lined with a facing (plaster, mineral ….)
  – “sandwiches “: the insulation is lined on each side with a wooden or plaster panel

The panel facing is important: it protects the insulation from shocks and guarantees long life.
Do not use mineral fibre insulation (glass wool, stone wool…) because it stores humidity and loose its insulation capacity.
Protection against rodents
Some insulating materials are damaged by rodents (mice, rats…). It is therefore essential to make sure that the walls of the cellar do not contain holes which would allow rodents access to the insulation.
This insulation must be lined, on the inner surface of the cellar, with a protective facing.
Polyurethane insulation, because of its chemical composition, is not attacked by rodents.
1.3.4 FLOOR INSULATION
The cellar floor must be able to support shelves and the wine stored on them.
You should therefore choose an insulating material with adequate compression resistance for this part.
Manufacturers recommend appropriate insulation or materials designed specifically for floor insulation, in their documentation.
Puncture resistance (feet of shelves in particular) is provided:

• in using “complex” insulation panels lined, on the upper surface, with a strong panel.
• by facing the insulation with a panel of chipboard (approx. 15 mm thick), or any other suitable covering plaster and slab, for example

1.3.5 THE DOOR
It is part of the continuity of insulation.
There are two possible solutions:

• to insulate the existing door using the same type as insulation as was used for the cellar walls. Insert a seal such a foam, between the door panel and the frame all around the edge.
• Use a WINEMASTER isothermal door, lined with polyurethane foam. It includes a seal around its periphery, with a magnetic closure.

1.3.6 INSULATION OF OTHER ITEMS
A fridge or another appliance producing heat must not be placed inside the cellar. For example, any hot water pipe going through the cellar must also be insulated.
1.3.7 ISULATION OF REFRIGERATION LINES
Isolation is included in the machine bundle. It is mandatory to install it on the refrigeration lines between the inside and outside unit. It protects the refrigeration lines and improves the functioning of the machine.

INSTALLING THE OUtSIDE UNIT

Before any intervention with interior of the unit, the electric cable must be disconnected.
Make sure you have chosen the best place for fitting the outside unit:

• Chose the best place in order that the length of the flexible connection will be shorter as possible.

SERVICING THE WINEMASTER AIR-CONDITIONER

THE DUST FILTER
It is essential to replace the dust filter in the air-conditioner as soon as necessary and at least once a year. If it is clogged, the air-conditioner could be seriously damaged.
7.1 CHANGING THE FILTER

• Unscrew the two plastic screws 1
• Remove the cover 2.
• Pull the tab 3 to release the filter

Replace it with a WINEMASTER filter only!
You can then replace the cover
7.2 INFORMATION ABOUT AIRCONDITIONNER FUNCTIONNING
This air conditioner has a pressostat of high-pressure security with manual rearmament and a pressostat of low-pressure security with automatic rearmament.
The pressostat of high pressure protects the compressor in case of abnormal rise of the pressure which can be due to several causes (obstruction, filter clogged, breakdown of outside fan unit, local where is the outside unit badly ventilated…)
In the case 1 and 2, the simple rearmament of the device (having deleted the cause) is sufficient. In all other cases, the technician intervention is necessary.
The low-pressure security protects the compressor in case of some dysfunctions (icing of the evaporator, bad exchange on the evaporator, too low outside temperature in the starting phase), breakdown of the fan on the internal unit, the absence of coolant fluid consecutive to a leak.
However, as it is an automatic rearmament, in case the problem persists it is better to stop the air conditioner until the technician intervention.
