Thermaster WB-194B Single Zone Wine Cooler 194 Bottle 490L | Commercial Cellar Fridge 10A
[THERMASTER_MSG]
Preserve delicate tannins, prevent label degradation, and present vintage varietals at precise drinking temperatures with the Thermaster WB-218B 710L Dual Zone Two Door Premium Wine Cooler Refrigerator. Designed for Australian fine dining establishments, boutique wine bars, boutique hotels, cellar doors, bistros, and serious home collectors, this architectural black display cellar features side-by-side independent climate zones capable of holding up to 218 Bordeaux-style bottles (750ml) under strictly controlled thermodynamic conditions.
Red and white varietals demand distinct serving and aging environments. The WB-218B incorporates fully separated left and right cooling compartments, each governed by its own internal digital thermostat and LED readout across an adjustable +5°C to +22°C temperature band. Operators can easily set the left compartment to a crisp +6°C to +8°C for Champagne, sparkling wines, and crisp whites (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Riesling), while calibrating the right zone to +14°C to +18°C for full-bodied Australian reds (including Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir).
Vibration disrupts resting sediment and breaks down volatile aromatic compounds in vintage bottles. The WB-218B features an engineered low-vibration compressor system damped on rubber mounts, paired with gentle, fan-forced evaporator convection cooling. This ensures smooth, non-turbulent cold air distribution across all levels, eliminating micro-pockets of heat and maintaining consistent cellar conditions without mechanical disturbance.
Bottle preservation requires cork elasticity and label preservation. The cabinet maintains an internal relative humidity of greater than 60%, preventing natural corks from drying out, shrinking, and allowing oxidising air into the bottle. Each side of the cellar is fitted with 9 smooth-gliding natural beechwood sliding shelves plus 1 fixed bottom display shelf (20 total shelf levels). Crafted from unvarnished, food-safe beechwood, these shelves absorb minor vibrations, eliminate odours, and slide out effortlessly without scratching glass bottles or tearing delicate vintage labels.
Direct exposure to ultraviolet rays damages wine chemistry, leading to light-strike faults and premature ageing. The WB-218B is equipped with double-glazed, UV-protected tinted safety glass doors set into sleek, commercial-grade black aluminium frames. To protect the corks from ambient kitchen or dining room taints, each compartment is equipped with an integrated activated carbon air filtration system that purifies circulating air, neutralizing food odours and stale air before they can penetrate cork closures.
Wrapped in a durable, scuff-resistant matte black Colorbond steel body, the 1900 mm high unit makes a striking visual statement in any dining room or cellar fitout. Subtle, cool-white interior LED lighting showcases bottle collections without emitting radiant heat. Integrated physical cylinder barrel locks on both doors safeguard valuable reserves, vintage wines, and rare stock from unauthorized access after hours.
Operating on standard Australian single-phase 240V power with an economical 180W power draw (approx. 0.75 Amps) and powered by eco-friendly natural R600a refrigerant, the WB-218B connects directly into any standard 10 Amp wall outlet. The cabinet features adjustable levelling feet to ensure stable, vibration-free standing on varied floor types.

To protect wine investments, ensure stable humidity, and preserve mechanical longevity:
Power Isolation: Always switch off the unit at the internal digital touch console, isolate the power at the wall switch, and disconnect the 10A plug before performing deep maintenance or filter replacements.
Double-Glazed Tinted Glass Care: Clean both sides of the UV-tinted glass panels using a soft microfibre cloth and a neutral, non-ammonia glass cleaner. Never spray cleaning chemicals directly onto door seals or beechwood shelving.
Natural Beechwood Shelf Maintenance: Beechwood is deliberately unsealed to absorb humidity and avoid synthetic lacquer odours. Wipe the shelves gently with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth if a wine drip occurs. Allow wood to dry completely before reloading bottles. Do not use chemical cleaners, bleaches, or wood polishes on the shelves.
Activated Carbon Filter Replacement: To prevent ambient odours from penetrating the storage chambers and entering natural corks, replace the activated carbon filter cartridges located inside each zone every 12 months.
Periodic Condenser Cleaning: Dust and ambient lint accumulate on the rear/lower ventilation louvres over time, reducing heat dissipation efficiency. Disconnect power and vacuum or gently brush away dust from the air grilles every 3 to 6 months.
Drainage Clearance: Check the internal condensate drain channel during routine inspections to ensure it remains free from loose dust or cork fragments, allowing excess condensation to flow safely to the evaporation pan.
The Thermaster WB-218B is engineered for customer-facing dining areas, wine lounges, tasting rooms, and private cellars:
Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The wine cooler draws an economical 180W on standard single-phase 240V power and comes fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug. Connect directly into a dedicated commercial wall outlet. Avoid running the unit through domestic extension cords or multi-plug boards.
Vibration-Free Levelling: Position the 142 kg unit (exceeding 380 kg when fully loaded with 218 wine bottles) on a flat, level, and structurally solid floor. Adjust the integrated levelling feet so the cabinet sits perfectly square and plumb. Proper levelling eliminates chassis vibration, prevents door sagging, and ensures magnetic door seals remain airtight.
Ventilation & Airflow Clearances: Maintain a minimum clearance of at least 50 mm at the sides and 100 mm at the rear of the cabinet to ensure adequate ventilation for heat dissipation. Never enclose the unit into an unventilated joinery cavity without adequate air intake and exhaust vents.
Thermal Separation & Direct Sun: Avoid placing the wine cooler in direct sunlight, directly opposite large unshaded windows, or adjacent to commercial cooking appliances (such as ovens, dishwashers, or fryers). While the glass is UV-tinted, continuous radiant solar heat elevates ambient glass temperatures and increases compressor workload.
Proper Bottle Laying & Weight Distribution: Store bottles horizontally on their sides on the beechwood racks to ensure wine remains in constant contact with the natural cork, maintaining cork moisture and seal integrity. Distribute bottle weight evenly across the shelves, starting from the lower tiers upward to preserve stability. Note that wider Champagne or Burgundy-style bottles may reduce total bottle capacity.
Standard commercial road freight delivery is available Australia-wide to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. Due to the 142 kg net weight and 1900 mm height of this two-door wine preservation cabinet, tail-lift delivery or a commercial loading dock with pallet handling equipment is strictly required. For deliveries to residential or non-commercial addresses, please contact our friendly commercial sales team prior to ordering to obtain a customised courier quote and confirm delivery logistics.
Can I plug this dual zone wine cooler into a standard Australian 10 Amp power point?
Yes. The Thermaster WB-218B draws an economical 180W on standard single-phase 240V power and comes fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp 3-pin plug. It connects straight into standard commercial wall sockets with no specialized electrical work required.
Can the left and right doors be reversed?
No. The WB-218B features two hinged doors with factory-set opening orientations (left door hinged on the left, right door hinged on the right, opening outwards from the centre). Reversible door options are not available on this model.
How does the dual zone system work?
The unit features two completely independent refrigeration chambers separated by a central insulated thermal divider wall. Each side has its own dedicated internal digital thermostat, fan evaporator, and LED display, allowing you to set one side to cellar whites or sparkling wines (+5°C to +10°C) and the other to store or age full-bodied red wines (+14°C to +18°C).
Why are the shelves made from unvarnished beechwood?
Natural beechwood is the industry standard for premium wine cabinets because it is odourless, absorbs micro-vibrations, and withstands humid conditions without warping or off-gassing chemical fumes. Unlacquered wood also prevents scratches on glass bottles and label tears when shelves are slid in and out.
What is the purpose of the activated carbon filter?
Because wine breathes through its cork over months and years, ambient odours (such as food smells, cleaning chemicals, or dampness) can enter the bottle and taint the wine. The internal activated carbon filter continuously purifies circulating air inside each zone, neutralizing ambient odours before they can affect cork closures.
Can larger Champagne or Burgundy bottles fit on the shelves?
The 218-bottle capacity is rated based on standard Bordeaux-shaped 750ml bottles. Wider Burgundy, Pinot Noir, or Champagne bottles will fit comfortably on the shelves; however, storing wider-diameter bottles may reduce the total bottle count or require removing an alternating shelf tier.
How do I qualify for the extended 2+2 Year Warranty?
The unit comes with a standard 2 Years Commercial Parts and Labour warranty. By registering your product online with the manufacturer within 14 days of the invoice date, you receive an additional 2 Years of Parts-Only warranty coverage, securing four total years of manufacturer protection.
