Description
The Thermaster WB-218B is a dual zone two-door premium wine cooler designed to store and serve up to 218 bottles at the correct temperature, making it the ideal refrigeration solution for restaurants, bars, hotels, and cellar-door venues.
Why operators choose the WB-218B
-
Dual independent temperature zones — left and right zones run separate settings, so red and white wines are stored at their optimal temperatures simultaneously.
-
218-bottle capacity in a 710 L cabinet — large-volume storage without requiring a dedicated cool room, with beechwood shelves on both sides.
-
Double-glazed UV-protected tinted glass doors — protects wine from light degradation while keeping contents on display for easy selection.
-
Fan-forced evaporator cooling with auto defrost — maintains consistent temperature throughout the cabinet and prevents ice build-up without manual intervention.
-
Low-vibration design with R600a refrigerant — minimises disturbance to sediment and is compliant with modern environmental refrigerant standards.

Frequently asked questions
What is the bottle capacity of the WB-218B?
The WB-218B holds up to 218 standard 750 mL wine bottles across both zones, though actual capacity varies slightly depending on bottle shape and size.
Are the two temperature zones independently controlled?
Yes. The left and right zones each have their own digital thermostat, allowing you to store red and white wines at different temperatures — for example, 14–18°C for reds and 8–12°C for whites — simultaneously.
What refrigerant does the WB-218B use?
It uses R600a (isobutane), a low-GWP refrigerant with minimal environmental impact and quiet, efficient operation.
Does the WB-218B need plumbing or special installation?
No plumbing is required. The unit simply plugs into a standard Australian 10A single-phase outlet. Ensure adequate ventilation clearance around the unit as specified in the manual.
What is the warranty on the WB-218B?
Thermaster provides 2 years parts and labour plus a further 2 years parts-only coverage, provided the unit is registered within 14 days of invoice — 4 years of coverage in total when registered.
