Preserve delicate varietals, showcase popular vintages, and serve wines at their exact cellar or pouring temperatures with the Thermaster WB-51A Single Zone Commercial Underbench Wine Fridge. Engineered specifically for Australian restaurants, wine bars, boutique cafes, hotel suites, function venues, and premium hospitality spaces, this compact 150-litre wine cabinet combines precise electronic climate control with vibration-dampening beech wood shelving in a space-saving undercounter profile.
Whether conditioning crisp sparklings and whites at 6°C to 8°C or cellaring premium Australian shiraz and cabernet at 12°C to 14°C, the WB-51A provides complete flexibility across a broad 5°C to 22°C temperature spectrum. The fan-forced evaporator cooling system circulates chilled air evenly throughout the entire 150-litre cabinet, eliminating thermal pockets and keeping bottle temperatures uniform from top to bottom. System parameters are regulated via an intuitive digital thermostat with a clear LED read-out for rapid temperature verification during service.
Holding up to 51 standard 750ml wine bottles, the internal layout features 6 natural beech wood shelves (5 full-size pull-out shelves and 1 lower half-size shelf). Unlike rigid steel racks that can scratch boutique bottle labels, natural beech wood provides a gentle, non-slip cradle that actively dampens compressor micro-vibrations—safeguarding the sediment balance and integrity of aged drops. The lower display deck also provides clearance for wider Burgundy or sparkling Champagne profiles.
To preserve wine bouquet and prevent thermal transfer, the unit is fitted with a double-glazed tempered glass door that insulates the internal chamber while resisting external heat in ambient room conditions up to +32°C. An automatic self-closing hinge stops cold air from spilling into the room during peak service rushes, while an integrated cylinder barrel key lock secures high-value vintages after trading hours. Soft, energy-saving internal LED lighting showcases bottle labels without emitting ultraviolet rays or heat into the cooling cavity.
With an undercounter-optimised 595 mm wide by 820 mm high profile, the WB-51A slides effortlessly beneath commercial counters, bar passes, and custom front-of-house joinery, or functions as a standalone feature unit. Built with a hard-wearing black Colorbond exterior and heavy-duty adjustable levelling feet, it draws an economical 120W on standard single-phase 240V power, plugging straight into any standard Australian 10 Amp wall outlet.
51-Bottle Cellaring Capacity: Holds up to 51 standard 750ml bottles across six tiers for organised front-of-house service and display.
Broad 5°C to 22°C Temperature Range: Accommodates ideal cellaring and pouring temperatures for sparkling, white, rosé, and red wines.
Compact Underbench Footprint (820 mm High): Sized to integrate under standard commercial hospitality benchtops or stand freely in dining areas.
Natural Beech Wood Shelves: Five full-size shelves and one half-size shelf absorb micro-vibrations and protect collectible bottle labels.
Double-Glazed Self-Closing Glass Door: Minimises thermal conduction, seals automatically, and guards against temperature spikes.
Integrated Cylinder Barrel Lock: Secures reserve inventory and boutique bottles from unauthorised access after hours.
Uniform Fan-Forced Evaporator Cooling: Actively circulates chilled air to eliminate hot spots and maintain consistent bottle temperatures.
Zero-Plumbing Auto Defrost: Manages condensation automatically without requiring external plumbing drainage lines.
Cool-Running Interior LED Lighting: Highlights your wine collection clearly without warming the cabinet interior.
Heavy-Duty Colorbond Cabinet: Resilient, scratch-resistant commercial black exterior with adjustable levelling feet for complete stability.
Standard Australian 10A Plug Setup: Low 120W power draw operates on standard 240V single-phase commercial wall sockets.
Extended 2+2 Year Warranty: 2 Years Parts and Labour warranty, extendable by an additional 2 Years (Parts only) upon online product registration within 14 days of invoice.

To protect compressor longevity, prevent cork drying, and maintain pristine front-of-house presentation:
Power Isolation: Before undertaking deep interior cleaning or reconfiguring shelf tiers, isolate the unit at the power point and unplug the cabinet from the 10A wall outlet.
Natural Beech Wood Shelf Care: Slide out the beech wood shelves carefully. Wipe them down using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a cloth slightly dampened with warm water. Never soak wood shelves in water, and never apply chemical detergents, caustic degreasers, or wood polishes, as these emit volatile aromas that can penetrate wine corks and spoil vintages.
Double-Glazed Door Cleaning: Clean the interior and exterior glass panels with a commercial, streak-free glass cleaner and a soft lint-free cloth. Wipe down the perimeter magnetic door gasket regularly with warm water and a mild detergent to remove dust and sticky residues, ensuring an airtight seal.
Internal Chamber Sanitisation: Wipe down the internal plastic liner and base floor using a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a mild, unscented commercial food-safe cleaner. Do not use strong chlorine or ammonia-based cleaners inside the wine cabinet.
Ventilation Grille & Condenser Care: Unplug the unit and inspect the lower ventilation intake vents. Gently vacuum or brush away dust and lint accumulation with a soft brush attachment once a month to prevent compressor overheating and maintain cooling efficiency.
Drainage Inspection: Check the internal condensate drain channel at the rear of the cabinet during cleaning to ensure it remains free from loose foil seals, dust, or labels.
The Thermaster WB-51A is engineered for flexible underbench or freestanding placement:
Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The wine fridge is fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and operates on single-phase 240V power. Consuming an economical 120W, it connects straight into standard commercial wall sockets without requiring dedicated circuits or electrical upgrades. Avoid using extension cords or double adaptors.
Underbench Ventilation Requirements: When installing the unit beneath bars or within cabinetry joinery, maintain a minimum of at least 50 mm clearance at the rear wall and 20 mm on the sides and top to allow the refrigeration system to exhaust heat efficiently. Never completely seal the cabinet into unventilated cavity space.
Solid Floor Positioning: Position the 49 kg cabinet on a flat, level, and solid commercial floor. Use the adjustable levelling feet to ensure the unit sits perfectly level; this is essential for correct self-closing door operation and seamless condensate drainage.
Thermal Separation & Direct Sun: Avoid placing the wine cooler in direct sunlight, near external doorways, or directly adjacent to heat-emitting commercial equipment (such as dishwashers, glasswashers, ice machines, or ovens). Excessive ambient heat reduces cooling efficiency and compromises cellaring temperatures.
Standard commercial road freight delivery is available Australia-wide to commercial business addresses with level ground access or loading docks. 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 wine fridge into a standard Australian 10 Amp power point?
Yes. The Thermaster WB-51A draws an economical 120W on standard 240V single-phase power and is supplied with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug. It requires no specialised electrical modifications and connects directly to standard commercial wall outlets.
Can this fridge accommodate both red and white wines simultaneously?
The WB-51A is a single-zone wine cooler, meaning the entire cabinet maintains one consistent set temperature between 5°C and 22°C. While you can store mixed varietals together at an ideal universal cellaring temperature (typically 12°C to 14°C), you will need a dual-zone fridge if you require two distinct serving temperatures (such as 6°C for whites and 16°C for reds) in the same cabinet.
Why are beech wood shelves used instead of metal wire shelves?
Natural beech wood provides two key advantages for wine preservation: it absorbs minor mechanical vibrations from the compressor that can disrupt wine maturation, and its smooth, splinter-free finish cradles bottles gently without scratching premium paper labels.
Does this wine cooler require a plumbing drainage connection?
No. The WB-51A features an automatic self-evaporating drainage system. Moisture collected by the fan-forced evaporator drains into an internal catch pan above the compressor, where operating heat naturally evaporates the condensate.
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.
