2 Before turning your cabinet on Installation and ventilation DO NOT SWITCH ON FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS after transport to allow refrigerant gases to settle. WARNING: You MUST refer to model-specific ventilation requirements listed in the user manual or on the Vintec website when installing your cabinet. FOR V30 SERIES Freestanding only: Cannot be placed underbench. FOR ALL MODELS: SPACER Install spacer at the back of the cabinet. DO NOT put cabinets in direct sunlight SURGE PROTECTOR Make sure you use a surge protector. DO NOT expose cabinets to moisture or rain LEVEL Level your wine cabinet before loading. Un-levelled cabinets can be noisy, and doors may not close or seal properly. FILL Fill the cabinet with bottles before you turn it on. If you don t have enough bottles, spread them evenly throughout the cabinet. TEMPERATURE Check desired temperature setting (6-8 for serving white, for all cellaring, and for serving red). See user manual for model-specific dimensions DO NOT place cabinets outdoors (except for covered alfresco areas) DO NOT place cabinets near heat sources such as ovens DO NOT place a door in front of cabinets or put them in a closed confined space (eg. small rooms such as pantries, closets or under staircases)

3 Have you noticed: PLASTIC TRAY By adding water to the tray, hygrometry in the cabinet will be increased (use for dry temperate areas). FREQUENT FAN CYCLE This ensures slow and even distribution of cool air throughout the cabinet, limiting temperature variations. SPACER/STOPPER Ensures adequate ventilation behind unit. HINGE If required, is used for reversing the door. WATER ON THE DOOR OR FLOOR In hot/humid climates and particularly on hot days, humidity in the ambient air can condense on the cabinet s cold glass door. ICE FORMING If the door seal is compromised or left slightly ajar the compressor will keep running which may cause ice formation on the back wall.

4 Storing and stacking Different shapes and sizes Stacking for ageing Stacking for accessibility When quoting capacity, Vintec refers to the standard Bordeaux style bottle. The dimensions and proportions of this bottle shape are shown on the left. Wine producers use a huge range of different bottles (see below), and not all will fit opposite each other on the same shelf. To improve capacity, lay bottles opposite complementary shaped bottles with necks interlocking (see right).
