Notes:
-V30 models are for free standing ONLY.
-V40 & V26 models are built-in type as per the drawings thereafter.
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. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock. The wine cellar is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire and plug. The wine cellar plug must be plugged into a properly affixed 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 Vintec 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.

Fixing the Back spacer:
Compressor run appliances require proper ventilation for proper and longer usage. Your Vintec wine cellar is supplied with a back spacer. Affix the back spacer at the back of the cellar for air circulation and heat evacuation.
IMPORTANT - THIS SPACER MUST BE ATTACHED TO THE UNIT BEFORE
THE INSTALLATION, FOR VENTILATION PURPOSE. FAILURE TO DO SO VOIDS THE
WARRANTY
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BUILT IN WINE CELLARS:
(UNDERBENCH OR IN COLUMN) FRONT VENTING WINE CELLARS ONLY.
V30 models are free standing only. Any built in voids the warranty

1.Vintec “Built in” wine cellars are front venting but are not designed to be fully integrated behind a joinery door.
2.Vintec “Built in” wine cellars require 10mm clearance on both sides and top, 30mm clearance at the rear (Back spacer is provided),to facilitate installation, removal, servicing and ventilation.
3.Vintec “Built in” wine cellars draw air from the rear and expels through the metal grid under the door at the front. If a kick board is to be placed in front of the wine cellar’s grid another one must be fitted into the kick board with a minimum air flow allowance of 150cm2.
4.Vintec “Built in” wine cellars have a power switch located on the control panel so power point location is not critical.
5.The wine cellar requires a standard 240 volt/10 amp power point. (Or according to different countries specifications).
6.The power cord is 1.9m in length and is fixed on the right side at the back when looking from front of cabinet.
7.As with most appliances of today, the wine cellar has sensitive electronic components which are susceptible to damage through lightning and electricity supply faults. It is therefore advised to use a power surge protector to avoid problems of this nature.
8 Air vent within the joinery must be provided for Vintec built in wine cellars (front venting)
In Hot climate zone, an air vent or grid, with a minimum ventilation size of 200mm x 40mm MUST be cut out at the rear top of the back partitioning or at the top of either side of the partitioning, allowing cool fresh air full access to flow into the 30mm gap located at the rear of the cabinet.
This air vent or grid must not be opened on the same side as other appliances such as ovens or an area that is sealed and without access to fresh cool air. Failing to comply with the above specifications could result in WARRANTY void.

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. 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.
