WARNING: For your personal safety, the wine collar must be correctly earthed. Ensure that the socket is correctly earthed and that your installation is protected by a circuit breaker (30mA residual current device).

In future, if you move the cellar to a foreign country, check that the power supply characteristics of the conditioner correspond to the destination country (voltage, frequency) – consult a local electrician in that country for advice.

Caring for the environment and saving energy

Disposal of packaging

All packaging used by Vintec is made from recyclable materials
After unpacking your collar, take the packaging to a refuse collection point. For the most part, it will be recycled.

Recycling: a caring gesture

Electrical and electronic equipment can have a harmful effect on the environment and human health owing to the presence of hazardous substances. Therefore, you should never trash electronic and electrical equipment with unsorted municipal waste.

In compliance with legislation relating to protecting and caring for the environment, your wine cellar does not use CFCs.

To save energy

• install your wine cellar in a suitable location (see 'Installing your cellar') and observe the recommended temperature ranges.
• Keep the door open for as short a time as possible.
• Ensure that the door seal is in good working order and that it is not damaged. If it is, contact your Vintec retailer.
• Disable any unusable appliances by unplugging them and cutting off the power load.

Preparation for installation

CRITICAL WARNINGS:

• LOCATION FLOOR LOAD: This walk in collar and its contents are EXTREMELY heavy. It is vital that the floor where it will be located is level and strong enough to handle the load. For example, the Espace1000 base unit weighs 310kg installed, but loading in 1000 standard wine bottles adds a further static load of approximately 1500kg. Each 500 bottle extension kit weighs a further 150kg plus the extra wine weight ( 15kg per average bottle) if you are not certain of the floor load capacity at the planned location. We recommend consulting an architect or structural engineer to assess its strength before receiving delivery or commencing assembly of your cellar.
• DELIVERY: Espace celars are supplied flat-packed in solid wooden crates that weigh up to 400kg in total fespace(1000-kit) or a minimum of 150kg fespace(1000-ext). Due to the crates weight and size, careful consideration should be given to site accessibility, as well as the safe lifting capacity of any equipment being used to transport and manoeuvre the crates.
• ASSEMBLY: The cellar should be assembled in the same room or space as its final permanent location, because once constructed it will be too wide to move through a standard door opening

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS:

- Space for assembly: Allow ample room for assembly of the cellar's walls. The gap should be big enough to allow the walls to be screwed together and for you to move around it easily during assembly (see below).

NOTE: Once assembled, you can install the cellar into a space with less or no space at the sides and back, as long as you are able to move the cellar into that space once assembled (will not fit through a standard doorway). See warning below regarding roof access.

Also allow enough clearance from the ceiling to lift and fit the roof of the cellar during assembly (see below)

SIDE VIEW

WARNING: Once assembled and installed, you should identify ensure there is still enough room to allow access to the electrical power lead outlet on the roof (for more info see 'Power' on page 7).

• Direct sunlight/heat: The cellar (particularly the conditioning unit) must never receive prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or similar sources of intense heat.
• Ventilation: The external vents of the conditioning unit must always have access to free flowing cool air from the underside (min 0°C, max 35°C ambient), and an unobstructed passage for hot air to escape from the top into a large space that will allow for heat dissipation (for example a living room).
  • Flooring: If the cellar is being installed during construction or renovation, it is recommended that installation is completed prior to laying any flooring material that might be damaged, such as timber or carpet.
• Power: Should service ever be required, access to switch off, disconnect and reconnect the power cable needs to be possible. A normal install of this unit includes running the conditioner power cable through the pre-cut access hole (sealed with grommets during operation) located in the roof of the cellar, immediately above the conditioning unit.

NOTE: Alternatively, hinged cabinetry is an ideal aesthetic and functional solution to maintain access to the collar's roof.

- Cellar door: The cellar door can be installed left or right hand hinged – see warning after step 10 in the 'Assembly

procedure' on page 12. The cellar door itself is not suitable for full integration or mounting behind cabinetry.

• Position of conditioner unit: Due to the interlocking design of the wall panels, the conditioning unit can only be installed next to the door on the front right side of the cellar (when viewed from outside).
• Excess humidity/moisture removal: The conditioning unit has an excess moisture run-off tube coming from the underside of the conditioning unit (inside the cellar). This must either be fed into a collection vessel (such as an empty Champagne bottle) that is monitored/emptied manually, or alternatively plumed into your household mains via gravity food for automatic removal.

Mains plumbing is recommended for higher humidity or tropical areas such as northern Queensland or the Northern Territory.

- Noise: The compressor on the conditioner unit works 24 hours a day, and makes a light humming sound, similar to that of an air conditioning unit.

Other considerations:

• Filters: The conditioning unit has a filter which must be periodically cleaned. This is accessed from the underside of the conditioning unit, on the outside of the cellar. Failure to maintain this filter may compromise cellar efficiency, performance and warranty.
• Lighting: The cellar is supplied with individual battery operated LED downlights. If you choose to install aftermarket or custom lighting solutions, we suggest the use of LED lights with low UV and heat characteristics, plus the use of timers or motion sensors to remove the risk of lights being left on for long periods as this may affect your wine.
• Conditioner unit finishes: In addition to the ability to install your own cabinetry in front of and around the majority of the unit, you may choose to spray paint the outer housing of the conditioning unit to match the colour of your cabinetry or surrounding material. Please ensure that this outer housing is removed from the working mechanisms of the conditioning unit prior to any spray coatings being applied.

Assembly procedure

NOTE: This information is for assembly of the standard Espace 1000 kit (ESPACE1000-KIT) without any extensions. If extension modules (ESPACE1000-EXT) are also being added, they must be inserted between the front and rear panels of the standard kit - see 'Adding extension modules' on page 16 for additional instructions.

Although the cellar kit can be assembled by one person only, it is strongly advisable that at least two people work together to complete it.

Before commencing assembly of the kit, make the following preparations:

• Arrange the cellar panels in numerical order.
• Pull back the white protective plastic wrap from the corners/edges of the cellar panels by an inch or two to make sure that any unsightly bits of plastic do not get caught in the corners during assembly (the plastic should be mostly left on until the body is completely assembled to minimise risk of scratching.
• Read through the entire assembly procedure.
• Unwrap the various accessories and tools and familiarise yourself with them.
  • Prepare a manual Philips head screwdriver or a cordless drill with a Philips head driver, a roll of removable adhesive tape, and a small step ladder to enable access to the cellar's roof once assembled.
• Unscrew whichever of the door hinges will become the upper hinge (see warning note after step 10) and dismount the door, which will be replaced at the very end of assembly.
  • One tube of silicone is supplied with your Espace1000 unit, but you may wish to have a second one on hand in case the first one is exhausted during the sealing process. Ideally it should be black in colour and suitable for a high moisture environment.

Exterior body assembly

1 Arrange the two floor panels and one flat, level surface, leaving enough space around to be able to assemble the walls later. Check that the surface is clean and will not scratch the panels - consider laying down a protective sheet first. The floor panels should initially be laid upside down, so that the timber support slats are facing up.
2 Insert one of the short joining strips ④ into the slot on the inside edge of panel ①, then connect the panels by marrying the joining strip into the corresponding slot in panel ② and pushing them firmly together.

3 Secure panels and together through the metal frame with screws using a Philips head manual screwdriver or a cordless drill with a Philips head driver.
4 Once secured, turn the entire floor over so the support slats are facing down. Ensure that the cellar floor is now as stable, oven and level as possible - this will make the rest of the assembly much easier and more accurate.

5 Stand left side panel and small back left panel upright in their positions at the rear left corner of the floor (when viewed from the front). Slot them down into the floor grooves (taking care not to damage the panel surfaces) and nest their edges together so the metal angle frame wraps over the exterior (see below).

6 Secure panels ④ and to each other temporarily with the removable adhesive tape. This forms the first corner of the cellar.
7 Insert a long joining strip ② into the slot on the vertical edge of panel ④ then position left side panel ⑤ to that it menny against the joining strip and also slots down into the floor groove (see below).

B Repeat step 7 to connect large back right panel ⑥ to panel ⑤ with an ④ trip. If necessary, secure panels ③ and ⑧ with adhesive tape (see below).

9 Position right side panel ⑬ rested against ⑥ to form the rear right corner of the collar, and secure the corner with adhesive tape (see below).

10 Slot front left panel (see below)

WARNING: Before proceeding to step 11, first decide which way you need the door to hinge/open. The door can be either left or right hinged, but the frame panel it attaches to must match the chosen hinge direction rotate the door frame by 180^ in either direction to your chosen hinge position before inserting into place, while still paying attention to the 'inside/'outside' markings.

11 Start assembly of the door section in its position by first slotting the door frame bottom block ⑨ into the front middle edge of the floor. Next place the door frame ⑩ on top of the bottom block (see warning above), and finally cap the door frame with the door top block ⑪ Tape if necessary (see below)

Installing your cellar (cont'd) Installing your cellar (cont'd)

12 Complete the front side of the collar by slotting the front right (conditioner) panel ⑩ into the front right edge of the floor. Tape if necessary lsee below.

13 Insert and joining strip into the slot on the vertical edge of panel ① then position right side panel ② so that it not only marays against the joining strip and slots down into the floor groove, but also nests its metal angle frame around front right panel ③ Secure the corner with adhesive tape (see below). This completes the walls of the cellar.

14 Use a short joining strip Ⓐ to connect the two roof panels ⏻ and ⏱

15 Secure panels 14 and 18 together through the metal frame with 44 screws

16 Once 14 and 15 are connected, lift the roof up on top of the walls and position carefully until the angled metal frame drops down snugly over all four sides. Walk inside the cellar and inspect the ceiling seams on all sides to ensure a snug fit with minimal gaps. If gaps are visible carefully adjust the sides and apply pressure to the roof to ensure it is pressed down firmly (see below).

17 Ensure that all other panels are also firmly pressed together tightly so that no space is left between any joins and no foam insulation is visible at any seam.
19 Use screws to attach all panels together, screwing through the holes in the angled metal frame brackets. Start around the edges of the floor, then work around the roof, then finally the vertical corner brackets of the walls (see below).

19 Apply silicone sealant 📄 all internal panel seams and smooth to a neat finish (see below). Allow to set before installing the conditioner unit and shelving

Conditioner unit installation

20 Prepare the conditioner unit for installation by first separating it from its timber frame, as well as removing the rear grill cover (see below).

21 Note the four pre-drilled bolt holes on the interior of wall panel (1) - two above the conditioner cutout void and two below.
22 Temporarily position one of the black metal angle brackets above the cutout so that its top holes line up with the bolt holes on wall panel and partially screw in two of the bolts (see warning below). The washers can be left off for now.

WARNING: Each of the pre-drilled bolt holes in the wall panel have a captive nut secured inside them, which will receive the 2 bolts that attach the conditioner unit. DO NOT use an impact drill or a drill with a high clutch/torque setting to drive in the bolts - this will break the adhesive that holds the nut in place and dislodge it, making it impossible to secure the bolts. Insert on of the bolts should be started by hand to ensure they are aligned correctly and not cross-threaded, and then can be carefully completed using either a manual socket wrench or a drill on a low clutch/torque setting.

23 Do the same for the bottom metal bracket (note that the brackets face in opposite directions)
24 Temporarily position the timber frame between the two brackets, ensuring that its inner edges align with the edges of the wall panel cutout (see below)

25 Using a pencil, mark the position of the Ⓗ metal brackets screw holes on the top and bottom of the timber frame.
26 Remove the timber frame from the wall panel, as well as carefully removing the bolts and brackets.
27 Use Ⓐ screws to securely attach the top metal bracket onto the timber frame using your pencil marks as a position guide. Do the same for the bottom metal bracket.
2B Insert the main conditioner unit ④ through the timber frame lensuring that the foam shock absorber strip is on the lower side, and rest the conditioner onto the foam strip
29 Use 📄 screws to securely attach the conditioner 📄 to the timber frame 📄 by screwing from the rear side of the conditioner through its metal edge flange and into the timber frame (see below).

30 Prepare the condensation water hose connection on the base of the conditioner unit by removing the plastic shroud over the hose connector outlet.
31 Connect the condensation hosp by sliding it onto the connector outlet, and secure it using the spring clamp
32 Feed the ends of the condensation hose and the power cable through their outlet holes in the rear grill cover (see below) and re-attach the grill cover to the body of the conditioner unit.

33 Lift the conditioner/frame assembly into position and attach it to wall panel by carefully re-inserting the two bolts including the wide washers this time through the metal brackets (see warning after step 22 above).
34 Feed the power lead out through the pre-cut hole in the roof panel, ready for connection to mains power.
35 Standing inside the cellar, take one half of the plastic hole cover grommet and ease it sideways onto the power lead via the grommet's pre-cut slit so that the power lead runs up through the centre of the grommet, then slide the grommet up to the ceiling and press it into the roof hole so that it forms a tight seal.
36 From outside the cellar, use a step ladder to access the roof and repeat step 35 by attaching the other half of the grammet to the power load, then slide it down and press it firmly into the roof hole to seal it.

Interior shelving assembly

37 Sort and arrange the various vertical timber shelving support frames. Those with shelf runners only on one side - ① should be installed at the front and back of the cellar. Those with runners on both sides - ② should be installed in the centre. Take care to ensure the supports are facing in the correct direction (front to back, and top to bottom) so that shelves can slide onto their runners correctly (see below for reference).

NOTE: The shorter support frame must be installed in the front right corner of the cellar, underneath the conditioner unit (see below).

Shorter vertical support to allow space for conditioner unit

38 Sort and arrange the two types of metal cross-bars. Those with pro-drilled holes - are for attaching to walls and the floor. Those without holes - are for lateral bracing between the vertical support frames.
39 Begin assembly by positioning the first ^31 single-sided support frame in the front left corner of the cellar. Using ^42 screws attach it to the inside face of front wall panel ^7 by screwing through the larger pre-drilled holes in the timber of the support frame and into the wall panel.
4D Loosely attach drilled cross-bars to the rear and base of the support frame using screws, following the partially drilled guide marks for their location, then also screw through the holes in the cross-bars into the wall and floor. Use 1x cross-bar to attach the bottom front edge of the vertical supports to the floor of the cellar, and 2x cross-bars to attach the rear edges of the vertical supports to the wall of the cellar (see below).

2x wall 1x floor

41 Position the central double-sided ^22 support frame and screw it to the drilled cross bars ^24 to secure it, then go back and firmly secure the screws attached at step 40.
42 Repeat steps 40 and 41 to attach drilled cross-bars to the other side of the central support frame, then another single sided to support frame at the far end.
43 Check that all vertical supports and cross-bars are firmly secured and aligned.

NOTE: The last vertical support at the end of the row does not need to be screwed to the back wall of the collar. There is likely to be a small gap between the support and the back wall.

44 Attach the non-drilled cross-bracing bars ^24 between the front edges of the support frames (see warning and note below). This completes assembly of the shelving frames for the left side of the cellar,

WARNING: At the location where cross-bracing bars are to be attached to the central, double sided timber support frame ^90 , two partially drilled screw guide marks have been provided on each side, one above the other. Screw into the upper guide mark on one side of the support frame, and into the lower guide mark on the opposite side - this avoids the two screws bumping into each other and splitting the timber (see below).

NOTE: Whilst the position of cross-bracing bars is adjustable, it is recommended to install them as close as possible to the shelf above to prevent the bars from rubbing against the labels of bottles on the shelf below (see below).

45 Repeat steps 39 to 44 to install shelving on the right hand side of the cellar, starting at the front and working to the back, ensuring that the shorter support frame is positioned at the front under the conditioner unit.
46 Insert all the sliding shelves Ⓜ onto their runners

Finishing touches

47 Attach the supplied internal lights A7 to the ceiling of the cellar.
4B Lay the supplied carpet strip onto the floor in the centre of the cellar between the two rows of shelves (this cushions the fall of any bottles that may be dropped during handling).
49 Mount the cellar door back onto its lower hinge, then screw the upper hinge back into place (this requires either assistance from another person or support blocks under the door to hold its weight).
50 Connect the power lead to a mains power outlet and switch on the conditioner unit.
51 Congratulations, the installation of your Espace cellar is now complete - raise a glass to yourself!

Maintenance

Your Vintec cellar is a tried and tested appliance. However, we recommend the following maintenance operations be carried out approximately once a year for optimal performance.

1 Switch off and unplug the conditioner unit.
2 Vacuum the interior and exterior vents of the conditioner unit, as well as the floor of the cellar and the carpet strip.
3 Clean the interior walls of the cellar with water and a gentle cleaning product, then rinse thoroughly
4 Check that the door seals are clean and in good condition.

NOTE: Replacement of the LEDs on the control panel must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Loading and storing your wine

Different types of shelving available for your Espace cellar

Wooden standard shelf Model #: TAS19WA

Wooden Champagne shelf Model #: TASZZWA

Wooden Magnum shelf Model #: TA523WA

NOTE: Champagne and Magnum shelves are not fitted with a shelf lock.

Layout advice

Your Espace wine cellar has been designed to safely hold a maximum number of bottles. We recommend that you observe the following suggestions to optimise loading

NOTE: Bottles must be arranged so that they do not come into contact with the walls of the cellar. If this happens, the condensation created on the wall may trickle onto the shelves and damage the bottle labels in addition, contact with the cold wall may create a frost point, which is harmful to your wine.

• Distribute your bottles as uniformly as possible over the entire cellar rather than placing bottles all on the top, bottom, front or back shelves.
• If you need to stack bottles for long term collaring, it is best to use the shelf lock for safety and avoid sliding out those stacked shelves. The lock is located at the back left corner of each standard shelf (see below).

- For regular serving access to bottles that have matured and are ready to drink, it is recommended to use single layers of bottles on a sliding shelf, or lock a shelf and use the following vertical stacking system:

5.10.2024

I say bottles from the same case together in a retail store for any access to each room from the last year.

Shelf front view

• When accessing your wines, never pull out more than one sliding shelf at a time.
• If you are top-and-tail stacking super-premium Bordeaux bottles lextra tall depth can be an issue. Make a flat base layer of standard Bordeaux bottles on the locked shelf first, then you can stack your super-premiums on top of that base with their tails hanging over the edge of the shelf slightly. To avoid bumping into these bottles as you move down the aisle of the cellar, it is best to use shelves at the back of the cellar for this purpose.

Setting your cellar's temperature

Temperature guidance

NOTE: For optimal performance, we recommend that you fill your cellar to at least 75% of its capacity.

The default setting is 12°C ideal maturing temperature. However, you can set the temperature between 6 - 18°C. The recommended ideal range for maturing is 10 - 14°C. See page 2 for recommended serving temperatures across the range of varietals.

WARNING: In order to operate correctly, your cabinet must be placed in a room with an ambient temperature between 0°C and 35°C.

Procedure

1 Press and hold the button on the conditioner unit control panel for a few seconds until the temperature display flashes.
2 Adjust the target temperature to the desired level using the ▲ and ▼arrows.
3 Confirm the target temperature by pressing the set button again. NOTE: If you do not confirm the setting, the modification will not be registered.
4 If necessary, to put the conditioner unit on standby, press and hold down the Ⓞ button for several seconds. The temperature will display as OFF and the conditioner thermostat will no longer be operating. To reactivate the thermostat, press and hold down the Ⓞ button for several seconds again.

BAlarm: Informs you that there is an abnormally high or low temperature inside the cellar.

CDefrostingcycle: Indicates that an automatic defrosting cycle is underway

DHeater: indicates that the heater is operating.

NOTE: When there has been a significant modification in set temperatures, it can take several hours for your Espace cellar to stabilise and the conditioner unit to display the desired temperature. Also, if you have loaded your cellar with a large number of bottles, it can take +/- 24 hours for your cellar's temperature to stabilise. The alarm warning light may appear - if it does then wait 48 hours and check again. If the alarm light does not disappear after a few days, please contact your retailer.

Important wine information

Your Vintec cellar has been designed to provide the optimum conditions for storing and/or serving your wine. Wine is a highly complex product, requiring long and gentle development as well as specific conditions in which to reach its full potential. All wine should be cellared at the same temperature – only the temperatures for serving and wine tasting should vary depending on the grape variety (see page 20).

The exact cellaring temperature is not as important as its constancy and consistency. In other words, as long as the temperature of your cellar is set somewhere between 10°C and 14°C, your wine will be stored in ideal conditions if the temperature is not subject to any significant fluctuation.

NOTE: Irrespective of the cause, if you notice either abnormal temperature or humidity levels inside your cellar, rest assured that only long exposure to these abnormal conditions can have a detrimental effect on your wines. Quickly returning the values to their optimal settings can avoid any permanent damage to the flavour profiles of your wines.
