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.
You have selected and the one indicated on the LED
readout.This is normal and it is due to the length of the
ac�va�on �me. Once the Wine Cellar is running for a
few hours everything will stabilise.
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.
LOADING YOUR WINE CELLAR
You may load your wine bo�les in single or double rows
while taking note of the following: if you do not 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
circula�on.
- Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 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.
- Do not move your Wine Cellar while it is loaded
with wines. This might distort the body of the
Wine Cellar and cause back injury.
TEMPERATURE STABILITY AND WINE STORAGE
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.
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°C. 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°C for your champagne,
12°C for whites and 18°C for reds. (Refer to Wine
Service Temperature recommenda�on chart).
Designed to store wines at the correct temperature
for best enjoyment. The chamber can hold 35 bo�les,
at a temperature of 6°C to 10°C dedicated mainly to
white, sparkling wines and champagnes. mainly for
red wines, which could be stored either at room
temperature (18°C-20°C) for consump�on or at 12°C
for a longer �me of storage.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
This appliance memorizes and saves its set temperature.
In case of a power outage, the unit adjusts to its previous
temperature se�ng when power resumes.

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°C 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°C
to 1°C.

User Manual
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 degusta�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 compart-
ment 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 transf-
erred from the compressor and evaporates any on
that has collected in the pan. Part of the remaining
water is collected within the Wine Cellar for humidity
purposes.
This system enables the crea�on of the correct humid-
ity level inside your Wine Cellar required by the natural
cork to maintain a long las�ng seal.
Notes: The water collected by condensa�on, is there-
fore recycled.
The Wine Cellar is not totally sealed; Some fresh air is
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.
Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.

POWER FAILURES
This appliance memorizes and saves its set
temperature. In case of a power outage, the unit
adjusts to its previous temperature se�ng when
power resumes.
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,
