• 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.

Notes:

- VWS050SBA-X/VWS050SSA-X/VWD050SBA-X/VWD050SSA-X/VBS050SBA-X/VBS050SSA-X models are built-in type as per the drawings in the installation section (page 5).

The Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre should be placed where the ambient temperature is between 5°C to 35°C. 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 and Beverage Centre must be grounded in case of an electrical short circuit. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock. The Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire and plug. The Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre 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.

INSTALLATION

Unpack and remove all of the protection and adhesive strips from the packaging around and inside the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre. The Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre must be positioned such that the plug is accessible. Release the power cord.

Move your Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre to its final location. The Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre should be installed in a suitable place where the compressor will not be subject to physical contact.

- WARNING: Ensure the plug is accessible when the appliance is in position, or a switch is incorporated in fixed wiring according to the wiring rules. (See licensed electrician for further advice).

Levelling your Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre: Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre must be leveled BEFORE loading your wines. Your Vintec Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre 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 of the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre.

TURNING ON YOUR Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre

Plug in and switch on the cellar by pressing on the power button for a few seconds.

When you use the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre for the first time (or restart the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre 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 and Beverage Centre is running for a few hours everything will stabilise.

Important: If the unit is unplugged, turned off, or power is lost due to an electricity power outage wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit.

The Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre will not start if you attempt to restart before this time delay.

OPERATING NOISES

To reach the desired temperature settings, VINTEC Wine Cellar and Beverage Centres, 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 and Beverage Centre.

An individual's perception of noise is directly linked to the environment in which the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre is located, as well the specific type of models. VINTEC Wine Cellar and Beverage Centres 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 and Beverage Centre 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 and Beverage Centre, it is better to distribute the load throughout the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre 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 and Beverage Centre 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 and Beverage Centre).
• 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 as this may cause the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre 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 and Beverage Centre while it is loaded with wines. This might distort the body of the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre 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 and Beverage Centre to see the temperature stabilising. 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. Designed to store and mature all wines: red, white and sparkling. These Wine Cellar and Beverage Centres reproduce the ideal conditions for wine storage, at a constant recommended temperature of 12°C. They can also be set to provide ideal serving temperature for full enjoyment of the wine's qualities. Unless stated by the wine maker on the bottle, VINTEC recommends 7°C for your champagne, 12°C for whites and 18°C for reds. (Refer to Wine Service Temperature recommendation chart).

Designed to store wines at the correct temperature for best enjoyment. The upper chamber can hold 12, 14 or 16 bottles, depending on the models, at a temperature of 6^ C to 10^ C dedicated mainly to white, sparkling wines and champagnes. The lower chamber accommodates 20, 30 or 34 bottles depending on the models, mainly for red wines, which could be stored either at room temperature ( 18^ C- 20^ C) for consumption or at 12^ C for a longer time of storage.

TEMPERATURE SETTINGS

Important: The LCD displays by default the actual internal air temperature.

The temperature settings are pre-set at the factory as follows. In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert to the preset temperature settings.

Factory preset chart

Model	Setting	Temperature
VWS050SBA-XVWS050SSA-X	12°C	12°C(+/-2.5°C)
VBS050SBA-XVBS050SSA-X	6°C	6°C(+/-2.5°C)
VWD050SBA-XVWD050SSA-X	Upper compartment: 6°C	6°C(+/-2.5°C)
	Lower compartment: 12°C	12°C(+/-2.5°C)

It is important to understand that there is a difference between the air temperature inside the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre and the actual temperature of the wine: You will need to wait approximately 12 hours before noticing the effects of temperature adjustment

due to the critical mass within a full Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre.

Once the temperature is set, it is strongly advised not to toy with it or adjust frequently. The thermostat will maintain the temperature inside the Wine

Cellar and Beverage Centre within a +/- 2.5°C range. But the thermal inertia of the wine and the glass is such that within this temperature range, the actual temperature of the wine will only fluctuate 0.5°C to 1°C.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPERATURE

Your VINTEC Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre has 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 mature at the same temperature, which is a constant temperature set between 12^ C to 14^ C. Only the temperature 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 periods 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 and Beverage Centre is constant (between 12^ C to 14^ C) 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 to 3 years) while others have tremendous ageing capability (50 and over). All wines have a peak in maturity. Do check with your wine merchant to get the relevant information

DEFROSTING/CONDENSATION/HYGROMETRY/VENTILATION

Your Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre is designed with Auto-cycle defrost system. During Off-cycle the refrigerated surfaces of the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre defrost automatically. Defrost water from the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre storage compartment drains automatically and part of it goes into a drainage container, which is located at the back of the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre next to the compressor.

The heat is transferred from the compressor and evaporates any on that has collected in the pan. Part of the remaining water is collected within the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre for humidity purposes. This system enables the creation of the correct humidity level inside your Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre 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 and Beverage Centre.

All units are equipped with a double glazed glass door that has a third internal acrylic layer to minimise condensation on the glass door.

The Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre is not totally sealed; Some fresh air is allowed 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 which disperses through the external surfaces of the Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre. Avoid touching the surfaces during those cycles.

ADJUSTABLE WOODEN SHELVES:

ADJUSTING/REMOVING THE SHELVES

For easy access to the storage content, you must pull the shelves approximately 1/3 of its depth out of the rail

compartment. These wine cabinets, however, are designed with a notch on each side of the shelf tracks to prevent bottles from falling.

When removing any of these shelves out of the rail compartment, tilt the shelf as per the diagram and simply pull out, or push in the shelf until it sits on the support brackets securely.

• To prevent damaging the door gasket, make sure to have the door all the way opened when pulling shelves out of the rail compartment.
• When removing any of these shelves out of the rail compartment: to fit or remove the shelf, tilt the shelf as per the diagram and simply pull out, or push in the shelf until it sits on the support brackets securely.

OPERATION ANOMALIES

Ensure that there is power to the electrical supply plug by connecting another electrical appliance to it. Check fuse, if any. Make sure that the door is closed properly.

If your Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre appears to be malfunctioning, unplug it and contact your VINTEC's after sales service. Any intervention on the cold circuit should be performed by a refrigeration technician who should carry out an inspection of the circuit sealing system. Similarly, any intervention on the electrical circuit should be performed by a qualified electrician.

Notes : Any intervention performed by a non- authorised technician by Vintec will lead to the warranty being considered as null and void.

POWER FAILURES

In the event of a power interruption, all previous temperature settings are automatically erased and it will revert to a preset temperature setting. (See preset chart). Most power failures are corrected within a short period of time. An hour or two's loss of power will not affect Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre's temperatures.

To avoid sudden change of temperature while the power is off, you should avoid opening the door. For longer periods of power failure, do take steps to protect your wine.

Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your Wine Cellar and Beverage Centre, be reassured that only long and frequent exposure to these abnormal conditions can

cause a detrimental effect on your wines.
