SYSTEM OPERATION ADVANCED QT

Condensate evaporator switch

The QT’s condensate evaporator is a heating element that evaporates excess condensate that accumu-

lates 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 condi-

tions or in humid areas (above 80% relative humidity), more condensate will accumulate than the cool-

ing system can evaporate with heat from the compressor alone.

Vinothèque units are equipped with sophisticated heating elements that automatically sense the pres-

ence of water and work until the water is gone.

— “On”: Turning the condensate evaporator on causes the heating element to operate whenever wa-

ter is present in the compressor pan.

— “O”: If your wine cellar is located in a dry climate, there is a good chance that the unit will not ac-

cumulate excessive water. Therefore, save electricity by switching the condensate evaporator to the

“O” position.

Temperature equalizer

The temperature equalizer switch controls the fan, which is mounted on top of the evaporator plate.

It is designed to keep air moving throughout the cabinet in order to maintain consistent temperature

between its upper and lower half.

— “Auto”: During normal operation, set the switch to the “Auto” position. The fan will operate whenever

the cooling system is running.

— “Continuous”:

This feature runs the fan continuously.

—“O”: Shuts o the fan: 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 rises.
