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.
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. The ideal range of temperature may not be reached. (See Climate Class at the end of this manual) Grounding instructions The wine cellar must be grounded in case of an electrical short circuit.
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.
