IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE
Your VINTEC wine cellar ha s been designed to guarantee optimum conditions for storing
and/or serving your wines.
Fine wines require long and gentle developments and need specific conditions in which to
reach their full potential.
All wines ma ture at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12ºC
to 14ºC. Only the tempe rature of “dégustation” (wine appreciation) 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 period 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 12ºC to 14ºC ) your wines will be stored in perfect
conditions.
Not all wines will improve over the years . Some should be consumed at an early stage (2 to3
years) while others have tremendous ageing capability ( 50 and over). All wines have a peak
in maturity. D o check with your wine merchant to get the relevant info rmation.
DEFROSTI
NG/CONDENSATION/ HYGROMETRY/ VENTILATION
Your wine cellar is designed w ith “Auto-cycle” defrost system. During “Off-cycle” the
refrigerated surfaces of the wine cellar defrost automatica lly. 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. Part of
the remaining wa
ter is collected within the wine cella r for humidity purposes.
This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your wine cellar
required by the natural cork to maintain a long lasting seal.
Notes: The water collected by condensation, is therefore recycled. Under extremely dry
environmental conditions, you may have to add some water into the water container
provided with your wine cellar.
All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic layer
to minimize condensation on th
e glass door.
The wine cellar is not totally sealed; fres h air admission is permitted through the drainpipe.
Air is circulated through the cellar by means of a fan/fans and the hollow shelves.
Notes: During the refrigerating cycle, heat is given off and disperse through the external
surfaces of the wine cellar. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.
