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
stabilise.
OPERATING NOISES
To reach the desired temperature settings, VINTEC
Wine Cellar , like all Wine Cellar and may produce the
following types of noises. These noises are normal and
may 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 .
An individual’s perception of noise is directly linked to
the environment in which the Wine Cellar is located, as
well the specific type of models.
VINTEC Wine Cellar are in line with international
standards for such appliances.
VINTEC will always do its utmost to satisfy its
customers but will not retake possession of the goods
due to complaints based on normal operating noise
occurrences.
LOADING YOUR Wine Cellar
You may load your wine bottles in single or double rows
while taking note of the following: if you do not have
enough bottles to fill your Wine Cellar , it is better to
distribute the load throughout the Wine Cellar so as to
avoid all on top or all below type loads.
- Do remove or relocate adjustable wooden shelves to
accommodate larger type of bottles or increase the
capacity of the cellar by stacking the bottles up when
necessary (See removing shelves).
- Keep smalls gap between the walls and the bottles to
allow air circulation. Like an underground cellar air
circulation is important to prevent mould and for a
better homogeneous temperature within the cellar.
- Do not over load your Wine Cellar to facilitate air
circulation.
- Do not stack more than 1.5 rows of standard 0.75L
bottles per shelves to facilitate air circulation.
- Avoid obstructing the internal fans (located inside
on the back panel of the Wine Cellar).
- Do not slide the shelves outwards beyond the fixed
position to prevent the bottles from falling.
- Do not pull out more than one loaded shelf at a
time
asthis may cause the Wine Cellar to tilt forward.
- Do not cover the wooden shelves with alloy foil or
other materials, as it will obstruct air circulation.
- Do not move your Wine Cellar while it is loaded
with wines. This might distort the body of the Wine
Cellar and cause back injury.
TYPES OF REGULATION
Please note that depending on the loading and
settings chosen it takes about 24 hours for the Wine
Cellar to see the temperature stabilizing. During this
time the LED seems to move erratically in particular
for dual zone models. It is normal and this process
occurs whenever the setting is modified and/or
whenever a large amount of bottles are added to the
cellar.
