INTERKOOL, SLIMLINE TUSCANY WINE COOLING SYSTEM INTERKOOL 300 . 600 . 900 SLIMLINE INSTALLATION & OPERATION MANUAL READ BEFORE YOU START Vintage Keeper wine cooling units must be installed precisely as directed in the Manual. DO NOT attempt to install this unit before reading the Manual! DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNIT THROUGH AN EXTERIOR WALL! Vintage Keeper units must ventilate to an adjacent INTERIOR space, NEVER to OUTDOORS! The area in which Vintage Keeper vents its warm air must be completely unobstructed. DO NOT install this unit in an enclosure where ANY surfaces are uninsulated or unprotected by vapor barrier. Especially in basement or other below-grade locations, ALL surfaces (walls, floor and ceiling) must be insulated Wine Cellar to at least R-20 and protected by vapor barrier on both sides. Uninsulated concrete floors will radiate heat and humidity during summer months, forcing the unit to work much harder than necessary, WILL shorten the life of the unit, AND WILL PRODUCE EXCESS CONDENSATION. The Digital Sensor, which is encased in a vinyl cap and permanently mounted on the front of the unit, must not be modified or handled. The Sensor will read and respond to changes in AIR temperature in the enclosure, to ensure most efficient operation and ideal storage temperature control. DO NOT attempt to modify the sensor to read liquid temperature. VINTAGE KEEPER units must be cleaned as directed, at least 4 times a year, or more frequently if located in a dusty area. DO NOT install the unit in a location where the condenser (warm side) coil is not accessible for periodic cleaning. Kitchen Pantry VINTAGE KEEPER WINE cooling units must be supplied by a dedicated, separately-fused and grounded 15Amp 115 Volt line. The line must not be shared with any other outlet or appliance. If an extension cord must be used, it must be rated for at least 15 Amps. Before operating Vintage Keeper, have the output tested and verified. If the line delivers less than 105 Volts, do not attempt to operate your unit. If the supplied voltage is insufficient or if intermittent shorting occurs, the unit may be unable to start its compressor, and the LED display may be corrupted. Before requesting warranty service for these problems, test and verify the voltage output. You might also try plugging the unit into a different circuit, and see if it performs differently. The electronic controller must also be protected against sudden power surge. Use a good quality surge suppressor. If the power source is prone to significant “noise” or interference, it may be advisable to use a good quality power line conditioner. As with any sensitive electronic device, Vintage Keeper wine cooling systems may be damaged by power surges or spikes, sudden interruptions or prolonged low-voltage conditions. You must monitor the unit on a daily basis. If there is an apparent problem or “Alarm” condition, you must disconnect the power supply to avoid potential damage to your wine collection. If unable to correct the problem through consultation with our Trouble-shooting resources, contact Customer Service. Be advised that Drobot-Vintage Keeper cannot in any event be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages. This unit is not designed for COMMERCIAL USE. Such usage will void any warranty. In addition, Third party servicing of these units during the warranty period will void the warranty. Basement Cold Room HOW TO PREPARE FOR INSTALLATION - Outside of wine cellar : min. 65ºF (18ºC) Max. 80ºF (26ºC) - Inside of wine cellar : min. 50ºF (10ºC) Max. 70ºF (21ºC) WARNING : Lower SET TEMPERATURE FROM DEFAULT 57ºF (14ºC) only if ambient conditions allow. A lower set temp can cause water leaks or overflow in high humidity conditions. Insulation: Floor, ceiling and all walls of the enclosure must be insulated to minimum R-20 rating, although R-30 is recommended. Best material is foil-backed urethane foam, sealed at all joints with thermal tape. Build a proper sub-floor with vapor barrier, and insulate to at least R-20, especially if floor is concrete. Vapor Barrier: All surfaces of the enclosure must be protected by a proper vapor barrier, ideally on both inside and outside of wine cellar. Seal: Seal corners, joints, gaps, vents, electrical outlets and switches, and especially around door and frame, to achieve air tight seal. Pack larger gaps with insulation. Seal all with silicone caulking. Seal drywall with odorless waterproof paint.

This appliance is for INDOOR USE ONLY, and must not be vented into a laundry room or similar which traps warm air. The unit must vent to an adjacent INTERIOR CLOSE TO THE CEILING. Exhaust air must not be obstructed in any way. The temperature of the air in the immediate area where the unit vents its warm air must never exceed 80ºF with 70% R.H. (non-condensing). Operating temperatures are : DRYWALL INSULATION� (MIN R-20) DRYWALL VAPOR� BARRIER� (BOTH SIDES) INSULATION� (MIN R-20) PLYWOOD FLOOR INSULATION (MIN R-20) � VAPOR BARRIER� (BOTH SIDES) SUB-FLOOR (STUD LUMBER) Power Supply: This appliance must be installed in accordance with national wiring regulations. Do not use if the power cord is damaged; it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Plug must remain accessible after installation. Electrical service must be a dedicated, separately fused and grounded 15 Amp, 115V line. Do not share the circuit with any other appliance. If extension cord must be used, it must be rated for 15 Amps. Test line voltage BEFORE operating, and do not use if line voltage is less than 105V. The unit must be protected against power surges and spikes: use a good quality surge suppressor. Wall Cutout: Ideal cutout for Models 300, 600 and 900 is 14 1⁄2” wide by 15 5/8” high, located reasonably close to the ceiling. For Slimline model, ideal cutout is 21 1⁄2” wide by 9 1⁄2” high. Width of 14 1⁄2” is standard between studs; if cutout for Models 300, 600 or 900 is less than 14 1⁄2”, you may need to remove rubber bumpers from sides of cooling unit. Install cross-braces above and below cutout; level lower brace carefully and provide additional support, as required. Vintage Keeper will mount with warm end flush to exterior wall surface, and the cool end will extend into the enclosure. Maximum wall thickness is 7 1⁄2”, to avoid obstructing the drain pan. HOW TO INSTALL YOUR COOLING UNIT 1 Faceplate Lift unit carefully and place it on a table top edge or a thick book. NOTE : The end with Control Panel, power cord and digital sensor is the COOL END and will extend INSIDE the enclosure. WARM END The opposite end is the WARM END, and will mount flush to OUTSIDE surface of wall. 2 2 COOL END Fasten the faceplate to the WARM END with 4 small screws provided. For model SLIMLINE, faceplate has a protective coating, which may be peeled off prior to installation. 1 SERIAL NUMBER 3 3 1 OUT 2 SET Drobot Controls NOTE: Copy the serial number to your warranty registration form. Unit has a 1-minute delay between plug-in and start-up . ADJUST TM 4 4 Rubber Bumpers Plug the unit in and test the cooling and controller functions (see page for operation instructions). Lift unit up into cutout opening. With the assistance of a helper, lift from both WARM and COOL ENDS to move unit partly into position. Install three large rubber bumpers in holes* on underside of unit near the WARM END. (Some force may be required; bumpers are more easily installed with a twisting motion). * For Model SLIMLINE, two sets of holes are provided. If installing through a door, use the set of holes closest to faceplate. For installation in other locations (i.e., through a wall), use the holes nearer the middle of the unit. HOW TO INSTALL YOUR COOLING UNIT 5 Lift unit , tightly to the top of the cutout, and move fully into position, resting on the rubber bumpers. 6 Use a wedge or shim under the unit Check that all bumpers remain in position, as required, after moving. Level the unit carefully from side to side and from end to end, using shims if necessary. 6 Pre-drill 1/16” holes through faceplate holes into studs. 7 Partially install one upper screw through faceplate into stud, then adjust the sideto-side level again. Partially install a second upper screw, then adjust the back-to-front level. Install the remaining screws, re-check all levels and adjust if necessary. Insulating tape on inner edges of faceplate will compress to seal gap between cooling unit and wall cutout. Do not tighten the mounting screws excessively ! 7 5 ! Use a wedge under the unit while moving into position, to keep it up off the rubber bumpers ! 8 For Models 300, 600 and 900, slide the accessory drain pan into tabs on underside of unit. Check pan periodically and empty if necessary. NOTE: Model Slimline does not require an accessory drain pan. Substitute the supplied vinyl tubing for the drain pan only if you observe a little water in the pan. Our units are designed to evaporate the condensate internally. Only if your room is not designed according to our specifications should you require a drainage tube attached to an exterior container. If you are in doubt use the tubing. 8 Drain Pan NOTE: If the unit DOES produce excess condensation, that’s a sure sign that the enclosure is NOT adequately insulated, the air seal is not sufficient and/or the ambient conditions are too extreme. Failure to correct these conditions will result in shortened life expectancy for the unit, excessive power consumption, continued dripping, and will void the warranty.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Although each Vintage Keeper cooling unit has been carefully tested at every stage of manufacture, occasional problems arise, the majority of which are due to rough or careless handling during shipping or installation. Other problems may derive from improper insulation of your room, power interruption or surge, low line voltage (less than 105V), or failure to clean the unit regularly. The following may help you determine what the problem may be, what steps you can take to correct it, and what further steps may be required. Additional Trouble-Shooting information and downloadable documents are available in the “Support” area of our web site: www.vintagekeeper.com IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to provide maximum protection for your valuable wine collection, the following steps are highly advisable. First and foremost, have your wine collection adequately insured. Second, install a battery-powered heat-sensitive alarm to warn of any loss of cooling due to power interruption. Third, monitor your storage and ambient conditions on a regular, daily basis. Fourth, install a high quality surge suppressor to protect against sudden power fluctuations. Fifth, clean the unit as directed, on a regular basis, every 3 to 4 months vacuum the cooling unit coils (check our website for more info). Be advised, also, that Drobot-Vintage Keeper cannot in any event be liable or responsible for incidental or consequential damages. IF: CHECK: THEN: - Is the unit plugged in?

DESIGN AND APPLICATION Vintage Keeper wine cooling systems are designed to maintain storage temperatures between 50° and 72° F, and moderate (50-80%) relative humidity, when installed as directed in a properly constructed, insulated and airtight enclosure, in a location where ambient temperatures do not exceed the desired storage temperature by more than 15 degrees C (25 F). The location must provide adequate clearance for airflow from the warm side of the unit, and the adjacent area, which must be an interior room, must be properly ventilated to remove warm air vented by the unit during operation. Unlike an air conditioner, this unit must never be vented directly to outdoors. Vintage Keeper uses environment-friendly R134-A refrigerant, which contains no CFC’s. NOT WARRANTED FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
