TURNING ON YOUR Wine Cellar
Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the
power buon for a few seconds.
When you use the Wine Cellar for the first me (or
restart the Wine Cellar aer having it shut off for a long
me), there will be a few degrees variance between the
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
occurrences.

0.75L boles per shelves to facilitate air circulaon.
- Avoid obstrucng the internal fans (Located inside
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.
- Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or
other materials, as it will obstruct air circulaon.

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

necessary. (See removing shelves).
- Keep smalls gap between the walls and the boles to

Important: The LCD displays by default the actual

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

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℃.

WINE SERVING & DEFROSTING
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Your VINTEC Wine Cellar has been designed to guarantee
opmum condions for storing and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle developments and
need specific condions in which to reach their full
potenal.
All wines mature at the same temperature, which is a
constant temperature set between 12℃ to 14℃. Only
the temperature of dégustaon (wine appreciaon)
varies according to the type of wines (see Wine Serving
Temperature Chart above). This being said and as it is
for natural cellars used by wine producers for long
periods of storage, it is not the exact temperature
that is important, but its consistency. In other words,
as long as the temperature of your Wine Cellar is
constant (between 12℃ to 14℃) your wines will be
stored in perfect condions.
Not all wines will improve over the years. Some should
be consumed at an early stage (2 to 3 years) while
others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over).
All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your
wine merchant to get the relevant informaon.
DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION/ HYGROMETRY/
VENTILATION
Your Wine Cellar is designed with Auto-cycle defrost
system. During Off-cycle the refrigerated surfaces of the
Wine Cellar defrost automacally. Defrost water from
the Wine Cellar storage compartment drains
automacally and part of it goes into a drainage
container, which is located at the back of the Wine
Cellar next to the compressor. The heat is transferred
All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door
that has a third internal acrylic layer to minimise
condensaon on the glass door.
The Wine Cellar is not totally ealed; Some fresh air sis
allowed through the drainpipe.
Air is circulated through the cellar by means of a
fan/fans and the hollow shelves.
Notes: During the refrigerang cycle, heat is given off
which disperses through the external surfaces of the
Wine Cellar a. Avoid touching the surfaces during those
cycles.

OPERATION ANOMALIES
Ensure that there is power to the electrical supply plug
by connecng another electrical appliance to it. Check
fuse, if any. Make sure that the door is closed properly.
If your Wine Cellar appears to be malfunconing,unplug
it and contact your VINTEC’s aer sales service.
Any intervenon on the cold circuit should be performed
by a refrigeraon technician who should carry out an
inspecon of the circuit sealing system.
Similarly, any intervenon on the electrical circuit should
be performed by a qualified electrician.
Notes : Any intervenon performed by a non- authorised
technician by Vintec will lead to the warranty being
considered as null and void.
POWER FAILURES
In the event of a power interrupon, all previous
temperature sengs are automacally erased and it
will revert to a preset temperature seng. (See preset
chart). Most power failures are corrected within a short
period of me. An hour or two’s loss of power will not
affect Wine Cellar temperatures.
To avoid sudden change of temperature while the power
is off, you should avoid opening the door.
For longer periods of power failure, do take steps to
protect your wine.
Irrespecve of the cause, if you noce either abnormal
temperature or humidity levels inside your Wine Cellar
be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to ,
these abnormal condions can cause a detrimental effect
on your wines.
