QT SERIES OPERATING SWITCHES

Condensate Evaporator Switch

The Condensate Evaporator is a heating

element that automatically evaporates

excess condensate that accumulates in the

cooling system as a by-product of

refrigeration. Like most refrigeration units,

Vinothèque uses heat from the compressor

to evaporate and eliminate the majority of

the water that accumulates during normal

use. However, during certain weather

conditions or in humid areas (above 80%

relative humidity), more condensate will

accumulate than the cooling system can

evaporate with heat from the compressor

alone. Vinothèque units are equipped with

sophisticated heating elements that

automatically sense the presence of water

and work continually until the water is gone.

Setting the Condensate Evaporator to the

“On” setting causes the heating element to

operate whenever water is present in the

compressor pan.

If your wine cellar is located in a dry climate,

there is a good chance that the unit will not

accumulate excessive water. Therefore, elect

to save electricity by setting the Condensate

Evaporator to the “OFF” position.

Temperature Equalizer

The Temperature Equalizer switch controls

the fan which is mounted on the top of the

evaporator plate. It is designed to keep air

moving throughout the cabinet in order to

maintain consistent temperature between

the upper and lower half of the cabinet.

During normal operation, set the switch to

the “Auto” position. The fan will operate

whenever the cooling system is running. To

adjust for different temperatures between the

top and bottom of the unit, the “Continuous”

selection would be chosen. The “Off” position

simply shuts off the fan for noise reduction.

Do not become overly concerned about air

temperature variations. Remember the unit

measures liquid temperature, not air

temperature. The unit will operate when the

liquid temperature varies.
