Frequently Asked Questions - V20BVCS3 Vintec

What are the required clearances for installing the Vintec V20BVCS3?

Minimum clearances: 2.5 mm on both sides, 5 mm at the top, and 30 mm at the rear. The rear clearance must include a ventilation grille with a minimum size of 200 mm x 40 mm.

Can the V20BVCS3 be fully integrated behind a cabinet door?

No, this cabinet is not designed to be fully integrated behind a joinery door. It is front-venting and requires proper airflow.

What is the recommended power supply and surge protection?

The unit requires a standard 240 V / 10 A power point. A surge protector is strongly recommended to avoid damage from lightning or power fluctuations. Do not use extension cords or multi-sockets.

Can I install the wine cellar outdoors?

Outdoor installation is limited. The unit must be well undercover, never exposed to sunlight or elements. Increase clearances by at least 2 cm on sides, 3 cm on top and rear. A larger vent is also required.

What should I do if the ambient temperature is outside 5-35°C?

Placing the unit in extreme temperatures may affect performance and cause interior temperature fluctuations. The ideal temperature may not be reached, and warranty could be voided.

How do I ensure proper ventilation for the V20BVCS3?

A ventilation grille (minimum 200 mm x 40 mm) must be installed at the top of the rear wall or side. The unit draws air from the rear and expels through the front grille. If a kickboard is used, it must have a vent of at least 150 cm².

Can I install multiple V20 units side by side?

Yes, the V20 range can be installed next to each other. Maintain a minimum gap of 5 mm between units and 2.5 mm on the sides. Follow all installation instructions.

What is the power cord length and location?

The power cord is 1.9 m long and fixed on the right side at the back when looking from the front of the cabinet.

Is it safe to place the wine cellar near a microwave?

Microwaves without wave interference shields placed within 1 meter may affect operation. Keep the unit away from microwaves.

What could void the warranty of the Vintec V20BVCS3?

Minimum Cutout Diagram

1. This cabinet requires 2.5mm clearance on both sides, 5mm at the top and 30mm clearance at the rear. A ventilation grid MUST be installed in the 30mm clearance at the rear. Because hot air rises it is imperative that a grille with a Minimum grid size of 200mm x 40mm is installed at the top of the back wall or on either side at the rear at the top giving cool fresh air full access to flow into the 30mm gap at the rear of the cabinet. This means that you must not install the grille close to other appliances such as an oven or to an area that is sealed or with out access to fresh cool air. (You MUST call the Vintec Service Department on 1800 771 776 if you do not understand any part of this statement. Failing to comply with the above specifications could result in WARRANTY void.)

1. This cabinet is front venting. The cabinet draws air from the rear and expels through the grille under the door at the front. If a kick board is to be placed in front of the ventilation grill at the front a grill must be fitted in to the kick board with a minimum air flow allowance of 150cm2.

The ventilation requirement indicated for indoor use must be increased when situated outdoors by at least 2 cm on both sides & 3cm on top, 3 cm at the back with a large vent at the top of the back wall to facilitate heat evacuation. Because hot air rises it is imperative that a grille with a Minimum grid size of 200mm x 40mm is installed at the top of the back wall or on either side at the rear at the top giving cool fresh air full access to flow into the 30mm gap at the rear.
