Vinotemp Wine-Mate 1500-HTD Self-Contained Humidity & Temperature Wine Cooling System - WM-1500-HTD
The WM-1500HTD Wine Cooling unit represents our latest innovation in climate control and has a capacity of up to 90 cubic feet. This self-contained unit not only controls the temperature in your cabinet but also moderates the humidity to a much greater degree than previous models. The new design has also been optimized for better distribution of cool air. Wine-Mate Cooling Systems are long-lasting, reliable cooling units assembled to the highest quality standards. This unit features humidity and temperature digital control using innovative technology. An oversized evaporator provides subtle cooling, with tube-axial fans for both the condenser and evaporator. Extra insulation is provided for both thermal and noise isolation. HTD evaporator units have a special coil coating and provide two-way air supply for better operation. The 1500HTD has a robust housing and the grill size has been optimized for safety and easier cleaning. The Wine-Mate 1500HTD is a self-contained, ready-for-use cooling system with easy installation. Options: Multiple exhaust options for top or rear hot air exhaust.
Wine-Mate cooling systems are also perfect for storing fine fur, cigars, leather goods, chocolate and salami! For an additional cost, Wine-Mate systems can be customized for your exact storage needs - please call for more information!
Wine Bottle Probe & Digital Control Panel
The probe provides an accurate reading of the temperature of your wine, and this easy-to-use digital control panel makes it simple to change settings.
You will have the following advantages of using a bottle probe.
1) Air temperature in the cabinet may fluctuate, but the wine temperature in the bottle is constant.
2) You can put a cooling unit in a full wine cabinet and show both the air temperature and bottle temperature.

CONFIGURATIONS
- Standard rear exhaust with the option to upgrade to top exhaust.
-
Add the Wine Bottle Probe to receive the most accurate reading of your wine's temperature. The Wine Bottle Probe measures the temperature of the liquid inside the bottle to ensure your wine is kept at the ideal temperature and plugs directly into your cellar cooling system.
- FOR THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS, call to order: 1-800-777-VINO (8466).
- Standard left side power cord with the option to upgrade to the rear or front cord for an additional fee
- Mounting brackets are available for an additional fee.
- Add the Energy Saving & Quick Chilling upgrade to a digital temperature control of Wine-Mate cooling system.
1) Energy Saving enables the compressor to run less time in certain circumstances to save energy by increasing the set-point. To activate the Energy Saving mode, turn on the switch.
2) Quick Chilling enables the compressor to run continuously without stopping for a period of preset time for pull-down cooling. To activate Quick Chilling press and hold the UP icon for more than 3 seconds. To end Quick Chilling press and hold the UP icon for more than 3 seconds again.

Features
- SELF-CONTAINED: This unit is a self-contained, all-in-one, and ready for use. No copper tubing or drain line are required.
- EXHAUST: Rear (standard) or top
- VENTING: When installed into a wine cabinet, this unit must vent outside the wine cabinet.
- TEMPERATURE: The WM-1500-HTD cooling unit is designed and used to provide a stable temperature between 50~65 °F for a properly insulated and sized space.
- AMBIENT TEMPERATURE RANGE: The ambient temperature range for WM-1500-HTD should not be higher than 78°F or lower than 50°F in order to operate properly.
- If the exhaust ambient temperature exceeds 78°F, one size larger unit must be used.
- HUMIDITY CONTROL: The refrigerated space will maintain humidity within the range of 50~75% RH. We use an innovative method to provide additional humidity.
- WM-1500-HTD cooling unit can only adjust fan run time for humidity, not speed. Adjust evaporator fan running time through the control program to adjust humidity.
- REFRIGERANT: Uses R134a refrigerant which is considered environmentally friendly
- DISPLAY: Digital display with easy push-button controls
- NOTIFICATIONS: Display notifications provide alerts help to protect your wine cellar and alert you when maintenance is required.
- CONTROL PANEL: Control panel includes digital display, manual defrost button, up and down arrows to adjust temperature as well as browse parameters, power button, and SET button.
- HTD evaporators have a water-repellent self-cleaning and anti-microbial coat that helps your equipment stay efficient and actively kills harmful bio-film growth.
- Exchangeable supply grille can be used for front, back, and down cold air distribution.
- Extra insulations are used for both thermal and noise isolation.
- Condensate tray is used for humidity adjustment.
- The lower the BTU of the unit, the lower the decibel or the quieter it is. It is important to know the balance of noise vs the power needed to keep the wine at the perfect temperature.
- Our 1500-HTD is actually a 1700 BTU unit. This unit has a decibel of 41 DB at 9FT, its both the strongest and quietest on the market in its class.
- WARRANTY: Self-contained units 1 year warranty on parts, 1 year labor.
