WARNING The information in this document is subject to modification without any prior notice. VINTEC offers no guarantee for our wine cellar if it is being used for any purpose other than that for which it was specifically designed. VINTEC cannot be held responsible for any error in this manual. VINTEC is not responsible or liable for any spoilage or damage to wines or any other contents incidental or consequential to possible defects of the wine cellar.
It is hazardous for anyone other than an Authorised Service Person to carry out servicing or repairs to this appliance. In Queensland the authorized person must hold a Gas Work Authorisation for hydrocarbon refrigerants, before carrying out servicing or repairs which involve the removal of covers. – WARNING: Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Notes: - V30 models are for free standing ONLY: - V40 models are built-in type as per the drawings thereafter; - V50 models are partially built-in, MUST allow 1cm to, side & back clearance. The wine cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 5ºC to 35ºC. If the ambient temperature is above or below this range, the performance of the unit may be affected. Placing your unit in extreme cold or hot conditions may cause interior temperatures to fluctuate.
IMPORTANT - THIS SPACER MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE UNIT BEFORE INSTALLATION FOR VENTILATION PURPOSE. FAILURE TO DO SO VOIDS THE WARRANTY TURNING ON YOUR WINE CELLAR Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds. When you use the wine cellar for the first time (or restart the wine cellar after having it shut off for a long time), there will be a few degrees, variance between the temperature you have selected and the one indicated on the LED readout.
Operating Noises To reach the desired temperature settings, VINTEC wine cellars, like all wine cellars operating with compressors and fans, may produce the following types of noises. These noises are normal and occur as follows: - Gurgling sound, caused by the refrigerant flowing through the appliance’s coils, - Cracking/popping sounds, resulting from the contraction and expansion of the refrigerant gas to produce cold, - Fan operating sound, to circulate the air within the wine cellar.
TYPES OF REGULATION Please note that depending on the loading and settings chosen it takes 24hours for the wine cellar to see the temperature stabilizing. During this time LED seems to move erratically in particular for 2e models. It is a normal process. This process occurs whenever the setting is modified and/or whenever a large amount of bottles are added to the cellar.
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS Important: The LCD displays by default the actual internal air temperature. The temperature settings are pre-set at the factory as follows. In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert to the preset temperature settings.
To modify the pre-set temperature of standard models: Circumrotate the knob, The knob mark is the temperature pre-set area. A clockwise turn sets a lower temperature, An anti clockwise turn sets a higher temperature. Electronic models: V30 “e” model The “TEMP.
To visualize the “set” temperature, press and hold the UP or DOWN buttons, the “set” temperature will temporarily “flash” in the LED display for 5 seconds. SG“2e” models: V30SG"2e", V40SG"2e", V50SG"2e" The “UPPER CHAMBER LCD” displays the upper chamber internal air temperature The “LOWER CHAMBER LCD” displays the lower chamber internal air temperature To visualize the “set” temperature, press the corresponding button once, the “set” temperature will temporarily “flash” in the LED display for 5 seconds.

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 automatically. Defrost water from the wine cellar storage compartment drains automatically 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 from the compressor and evaporates any condensation that has collected in the pan.
REVERSIBILITY OF THE DOOR Warning: To avoid accident during the process of changing the door, we recommend that you get assistance. Door is heavy and may cause injury if dropped. According the model and the type of handle your wine cabinet is equipped with, such as long strait bar handle , the door might needs to be rotated for 180 degrees or changed for a right opening one.

Dimensional drawings: OPERATION ANOMALIES Ensure that there is power to the electrical supply plug by connecting another electrical appliance to it. Check fuse, if any. Make sure that the door is closed properly. If your wine cellar appears to be malfunctioning, unplug it and contact your VINTEC’s after sales service. Any intervention on the cold circuit should be performed by a refrigeration technician who should carry out an inspection of the circuit sealing system.
Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your wine cellar, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to these abnormal conditions can cause a detrimental effect on your wines.
