temperature.
OPERATING NOISES
To reach the desired temperature sengs, VINTEC
Wine Cellar , like all Wine Cellar and may produce the
following types of noises. These noises are normal and
may occur as follows:
- Gurgling sound - caused by the refrigerant flowing
through the appliance’s coils.
- Cracking / popping sounds - resulng from the
contracon and expansion of the refrigerant gas to
produce cold.
- Fan operang sound - to circulate the air within
the Wine Cellar.
An individual’s percepon of noise is directly linked to
the environment in which the Wine Cellar is located, as
well the specific type of models.
VINTEC Wine Cellar are in line with internaonal
standards for such appliances.
VINTEC will always do its utmost to sasfy its customers
but will not retake possession of the goods due to
complaints based on normal operang noise

on the back panel of the Wine Cellar ).
- Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed
posion to prevent the boles from falling.
- Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a me
as this may cause the Wine Cellar to lt forward.

TYPES OF REGULATION
Please note that depending on the loading and
sengs chosen it takes about 24 hours for the Wine
Cellar to see the temperature stabilising. During this
me the LED seems to move erracally in parcular
for dual zone models. It is normal and this process
occurs whenever the seng is modified and/or
whenever a large amount of boles are added to the
cellar.Designed to store and mature all wines: red,
white and sparkling. These Wine Cellar reproduce the
ideal condions for wine storage, at a constant
recommended temperature of 12℃. They can also
be set to provide ideal serving temperature for full
enjoyment of the wine’s qualies. Unless stated by
the wine maker on the bole, VINTEC recommends
7℃ for your champagne, 12℃ for whites and 18℃
for reds. (Refer to Wine Service Temperature
recommendaon chart).
Designed to store wines at the correct temperature
for best enjoyment. The upper chamber can hold 12,
14 or 16 boles, depending on the models, at a
temperature of 6℃ to 10℃ dedicated mainly to
white, sparkling wines and champagnes. The lower
chamber accommodates 20, 30 or 34 boles

have enough boles to fill your Wine Cellar , it is beer
to distribute the load throughout the Wine Cellar so
as to avoid all on top or all below type loads.
- Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to
accommodate larger type of boles or increase the
capacity of the cellar by stacking the boles up when
necessary. (See removing shelves).
- Keep smalls gap between the walls and the boles to
allow air circulaon. Like an underground cellar air
circulaon is important to prevent mould and for a
beer homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
- Do not over load your Wine Cellar to facilitate air

(18℃-20℃) for consumpon or at 12℃ for a
longer me of storage.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
Important: The LCD displays by default the actual
internal air temperature.
The temperature sengs are pre-set at the factory as
follows. In the event of a power interrupon, all previous
temperature sengs are automacally erased and it will
revert to the preset temperature sengs.
It is important to understand that there is a difference
between the air temperature inside the Wine Cellar
and the actual temperature of the wine: You will need
to wait approximately 12 hours before nocing the
effects of temperature adjustment due to the crical
mass within a full Wine Cellar.
Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to
toy with it or adjust frequently. The thermostat will
maintain the temperature inside the Wine Cellar within
a +/- 2.5℃ range.
But the thermal inera of the wine and the glass is such
that within this temperature range, the actual
temperature of the wine will only fluctuate 0.5℃ to 1℃.
