THE COOLING SYSTEM

The cooling unit system is designed to maintain the set temperature under average ambient conditions. Most wines will be stored in conditions of 50% to 70% humidity. The unit will not remove excess humidity from the wine vault. In a humid climate, you may need to find a means to remove humidity, such as a dehumidifier. In a dry climate, you may need to find a means to add humidity, such as a fountain. The cooling system gently cools the wine rather than quick chilling. Allow 48–120 hours for temperatures to stabilize. This time may vary depending on starting temperature and quantity of wine bottles added initially.

Temperature Setting

The unit can be set at any temperature within the acceptable wine-aging range of 50°F to 70°F ambient temperature. It is designed to cool 30°F cooler than the ambient temperature of the exterior room, which should stay within the range of 45°F to 85°F.

Drain Line Connection

All units are equipped with a drain port for additional removal of excess condensation in high humidity areas. A drain line may need to be attached to allow the condensation to drain. A means to catch the condensation will need to be placed below the drain line.

A drain line may be ordered by calling the Monogram Wine Vault Line, 877.234.WINE (877.234.9463). Order part # WR02X12181.
