Quickstart Guide
Before turning your cabinet on
Installation and ventilation
DO NOT SWITCH ON
FOR 12 TO 48 HOURS
after transport to allow refrigerant gases to settle.
SPACER
Install spacer at the back of the cabinet.
SURGE PROTECTOR
Make sure you use a surge protector.
LEVEL
Level your wine cabinet before loading. Un-levelled cabinets
can be noisy, and doors may not close or seal properly.
FILL
Fill the cabinet with bottles before you turn it on. If you don’t
have enough bottles, spread them evenly throughout the cabinet.
TEMPERATURE
Check desired temperature setting (6°-8° for serving white,
12°-14° for all cellaring, and 16°-18° for serving red).
WARNING: You MUST
refer to model-specic
ventilation requirements
listed in the user
manual or on the Vintec
website when installing
your cabinet.
See user manual for
model-specic dimensions
FOR V30 SERIES
Freestanding only: Cannot be placed underbench.
FOR ALL MODELS:
DO NOT put cabinets in direct sunlight
DO NOT expose cabinets to moisture
or rain
DO NOT place cabinets outdoors
(except for covered alfresco areas)
DO NOT place cabinets near heat
sources such as ovens
DO NOT place a door in front of
cabinets or put them in a closed
conned space (eg. small rooms such
as pantries, closets or under staircases)
Have you noticed:
PLASTIC TRAY
By adding water to the tray, hygrometry in the cabinet
will be increased (use for dry temperate areas).
FREQUENT FAN CYCLE
This ensures slow and even distribution of cool air
throughout the cabinet, limiting temperature variations.
SPACER/STOPPER
Ensures adequate ventilation behind unit.
HINGE
If required, is used for reversing the door.
WATER ON THE DOOR OR FLOOR
In hot/humid climates and particularly on hot days, humidity
in the ambient air can condense on the cabinet’s cold glass door.
ICE FORMING
If the door seal is compromised or left slightly ajar the compressor
will keep running which may cause ice formation on the back wall.

bottle dimensions
Vintec refers to the “standard
Bordeaux style bottle”. The
dimensions and proportions
of this bottle shape are
shown on the left.
Wine producers use a huge
range of different bottles
(see below), and not all will
t opposite each other
on the same shelf. To
improve capacity, lay bottles
opposite complementary
shaped bottles with necks
interlocking (see right).
