The appliance viewed from
above.
If the appliance is placed beside a wall,
there must be su󰀩cient room for its door
to be opened wide enough to allow the
shelves to be pulled out (g. 4).
The surface on which the appliance is to be
placed must be level. Do not use a frame or
similar.
The appliance can be installed as a free-
standing unit against a wall, built into a
kitchen element, or lined up with other ap-
pliances (gs 2-3).

Ventilation
It is important that the appliance be well
ventilated and that air can circulate unhin-
dered above, below and around it.
The gures below illustrate how the neces-
sary air circulation around the appliance
can be ensured (gs 5-6).
g. 5
Setting up
It is important that the appliance be abso-
lutely level. It can be levelled by screwing
the adjustable feet at the front of the appli-
ance up or down (gs 8).
Use a spirit level to check that the appliance
is absolutely level sideways.

Electronic control
The electronic control ensures that the
temperatures set at the top and at the bot-
tom of the appliance are maintained. This is
achieved by means of an advanced control
of the refrigeration system, the heating ele-
ment, and the fan. The set temperature will
be stored in the event of power failure.
The electronic control has the following
functions:
● On/o󰀨 switch
●Light switch*
●Temperature setting
●Temperature indication
●Alarm for too high and too low tempera-
tures
●Door alarm
* The light may either be turned on
constantly or only when the door is open.
Temperature indication
The display shows the actual temperature.
The upper digits of the display indicate the
temperature at the top of the appliance, and
the lower digits of the display indicate the
temperature at the bottom of the appliance.
The temperature indicator is equipped with
a built-in lter which simulates the actual
temperature in the bottles. Consequently,
the indicator does not react on short-term
uctuations of the air temperature
Temperature setting
The thermostat is equipped with a child lock
device. This device is activated by pushing
the “up and down” buttons simultaneously.
After approx. 3 seconds “Pof” ashes in the
display. Then the actual temperatures are
shown as usual. In addition, the set tem-
peratures can be shown by pushing SET1
and SET2, respectively.
The child lock device is cancelled by push-
ing the “up and down” buttons simultane-
ously. After approx. 3 seconds “Pon” ashes
in the display, and the temperature can be
set.
Temperature setting at the top
of the appliance
Push SET1. Then the temperature at the
top of the appliance can be adjusted up and
down by means of the “up and down” but-
tons. The temperature can be adjusted from
8 to 22°C, however so that the temperature
cannot be set at a lower temperature than
the actual set point for the bottom tempera-
ture sensor.

Two-zone setting for serving
temperature
Typical serving temperature settings for the
top and bottom sections are 16°C and 6°C
respectively. With these settings, a suitable
temperature gradient will be achieved in
the cabinet for the storage of various types
of wine distributed from top to bottom as
follows:
●heavy red wines +16 to +19°C
●rosé and light red wines +12 to +16°C
●white wines +10 to +12°C
●champagne and sparkling wines +6 to
+8°C
It is recommended that wine be served at a
temperature which is a couple of degrees
lower than the desired drinking temperature
as the wine will be warmed slightly when it
is poured into the glass.
Temperature setting at the bot-
tom of the appliance
Push SET2. Then the temperature at the
bottom of the appliance can be adjusted up
and down by means of the “up and down”
buttons. The temperature can be adjusted
from 5 to 22°C, however so that the tem-
perature cannot be set at a higher tempera-
ture than the actual set point for the upper
temperature sensor.
Alarm devices
There is a sub-alarm for the low-temper-
ature sensor and an excess-alarm for the
high-temperature sensor.
The alarm consists of a beeper and a warn-
ing on the display.
Alarm for high temperature: beep sound
+ alternating display of “HtA” and actual
temperature
Alarm for low temperature: beep sound
+ alternating display of “LtA” and actual
temperature
The alarm temperature depends on the set
points.
The beep sound can be cancelled by push-
ing a random thermostat button. Push the
on/o󰀨 button to erase the display alarm,
rst for cancelling the alarm, then again for
restarting the compressor.
Door alarm
When the door has been open for more
than 2 minutes the door alarm is activated.
Light
To turn o󰀨 the lights, press once
Permanent lighting
For presentation purposes of your wine, you
can turn the lights on permanently. Please
press the light switch image twice. If
the controller is placed in the cabinet press
twice, if the controller is placed in the kick
plate only press once. To switch o󰀨 the
lights press on again.

Single-zone setting for long-
term storage
For long-term wine storage, the top and bot-
tom sections should both be set at 12°C.
With identical settings for the top and bot-
tom sections, the controls will maintain an
even temperature throughout the cabinet.
However, the temperature in the room will
gradually a󰀨ect the temperature in the
cabinet through its door and sides, creating
a slight temperature gradient from top to
bottom. The controls will maintain the set
temperature at the bottom of the cabinet,
and any deviation from the setting will
therefore occur at the top.
The di󰀨erence will vary from 0 to 3°C, de-
pending on the ambient temperature.
For more detailed investigations you can
require the specic controller manual
and the parameter list.
Automatic defrosting.
The wine cooler is defrosted automatically.
Defrost water runs through a pipe and is
collected in a tray above the compressor
where the heat generated by the compres-
sor causes it to evaporate. The defrost
water tray should be cleaned at intervals.
Cleaning.
Before cleaning the appliance, unplug it
from the main supply. The cabinet is best
cleaned using warm water (max. 65°C) with
a little mild detergent. Never use cleaning
agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry thoroughly. The
defrost water channel, in which condensa-
tion from the evaporator runs, is located
at the bottom of the rear inside wall of the
cabinet and must be kept clean. Add a few
drops of disinfectant, e.g. Rodalon, to the
defrost water drain a couple of times a year,
and clean the drain using a pipe cleaner or
similar. Never use sharp or pointed imple-
ments.
The sealing strip around the door must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
Dust collecting on the condenser on the
rear of the cabinet, the compressor and
in the compressor compartment is best
removed using a vacuum cleaner.

The door can be changed from right-hinged to left-hinged and vice versa as follows:
Reversible door
1. Lay the appliance on its back
and loosen the upper hinge.
2. Remove the upper hinge.
6. Carefully remove the covers
on the side of the plinth using
a at-headed screwdriver.

...and t it on the opposite side.
8. Unscrew the lock pin using a
at-headed screwdriver.
3. Rotate the glass door 180° (On
the smaller cabinets (1500mm)
desmount the handle. The screws
are on the inside of the sealing
strip. Move the handle 400mm up
and mount it again so it is in the
same height as before.)
4. You will need to remove the magnet on the underside of the door by unscrewing the two screws, pulling
the magnet away from the door. Also with a small Philips head screwdriver remove the Vintec logo
badge and swap the magnet where the badge was and vice versa.
5. Remove the top and bottom bushes on the door frame (the bushes are the black, round plastic pieces
which t into the top and bottom hinges) and swap them so that the bush which was on top is now on
bottom and vice versa.

12. After reversing the door, it is important to check that the sealing strip provides a tight seal all the way
round. If it does not, carefully heat the strip all the way round using a hair dryer. Then ease the strip
outwards slightly so that it forms a tight seal against the cabinet. Be careful not to heat the strip so
much that it melts!
10. Click the covers into place
on the plinth sides on the
opposite side.
11. Fit the door onto the bottom
pin, t the top hinge and
tighten securely.
9. When the lock pin has been
loosened completely, pull
it up together with the lock
cylinder and ret on opposite
