BEFORE LOADING & PLUGGING IN THE WINE CELLAR

Important: All models without front venting (air opening) are strictly for free standing

Recommendations:
The location you have selected for your wine cellar should:

- be unencumbered and well ventilated;

- be well away from any heat source and direct sunlight;

- not be too damp (laundry, pantry, bathroom etc.);

- have a flat floor;

- have a standard and reliable electricity supply (standard socket to country standards,
linked to the ground), it is NOT recommended to use a multi-socket or extension lead;

- have a surge protector fitted to the electrical outlet;

- away from the microwave oven. Certain microwave ovens do not have wave interference

shield. When placed within 1 meter vicinity of the wine cabinet, they may affect the
operation of the wine cabinet.

The wine cellar should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 5ºC to 43ºC. 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

Grounding instructions

The wine cellar must be grounded in case of an electrical short circuit. Grounding reduces
the risk of electrical shock. The wine cellar is equipped with a power cord having a
grounding wire and grounding plug. The wine cellar plug must be plugged into a properly
installed and grounded electrical outlet.

Note : In locations where there is frequent lightning, it is advisable to use surge protectors.

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a
qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replace by a qualified person in order to avoid
electrical hazard.

Installing your wine cellar

Unpack and remove all of the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around and
inside the wine cellar.

The wine cellar must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. Release the power cord.
Move your wine cellar to its final location. The wine cellar should be installed in a suitable
place where the compressor will not be subject to physical contact.

Leveling your wine cellar: Wine cellar must be leveled BEFORE loading your wines.

Your wine cellar is equipped with 4 adjustable feet to facilitate easy leveling. VINTEC
recommends that you tighten the back feet to the maximum and adjust the front feet to level
the wine cellar.

Back spacer:

Compressor-run appliances require proper ventilation for proper and longer usage. Your
Vintec wine cellar is supplied with a back spacer. Affixed the back spacer at the back of the

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
power 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. This is normal and it is due to the
length of the activation time. Once the wine cellar is running for a few hours everything will
stabilize.

Important: If the unit is unplugged, power is lost, or turned off, wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. The wine cellar will not start if you attempt to restart before this time
delay.
