Introduction
This manual will help you operate or maintain the CUBELT wine cellar air con-
ditioning unit. Read this manual carefully before installing, using or servicing this
product.
The CUBELT wine cellar air conditioner is the most advanced compressor system on the
market. Specially designed for shallow glazed wine cellars where the air conditioning unit is
located directly above the bottles. It uses a water loop refrigeration which reduces thermal
shock while preventing air drying. This three-module unit allows for easy and flexible instal-
lation for residential or commercial projects.
Although the air conditioning system has great importance in maintaining adequate condi-
tions for serving or storing wine, it is not the only element to consider. It is very important
to ensure that the wine cellar is adequately insulated and sealed against humidity before
installing the CUBELT .
Conditions In The Wine Cellar
The CUBELT wine cellar cooling system is a system designed to maintain a temperature
in the wine cellar between 54°F-65°F [12°C-18°C]. It does not allow to obtain very cold
temperatures as for the service of champagnes and certain white wines. Its air condition-
ing mechanism is designed to reduce the large temperature differences affecting the wine
between each stop/start of the compressor. It also reduces air drying in the wine cellar that
can cause corks to deteriorate.
Studies show that the temperature of a wine cellar should be between 10°C and 18°C with a
humidity between 50%-80%. The lower the cellar temperature, the slower the wine will age.
A temperature that is too low will block its ageing.
The Wine Square recommends a temperature setpoint of 14°C (57°F) with this device, which
corresponds to both an aging temperature and a tasting temperature for most red wines.
