Featuring racked storage for 544 bottles and bulk storage for 78 bottles, our 5200 Series wine cabinets are designed to showcase the largest wine collectors.Le Cache wine cabinets maintain ideal temperature and humidity conditions for long-term storage and aging of fine wines. Wine cabinets are different than wine coolers and refrigerators, which don't manage humidity conditions and therefore aren't recommended for long-term storage of wine.Design: Clean, contemporary design blends equally well with modern, Craftsman, Deco, or Asian decor. Hardwood doors and gently arched windows showcase fine wine collections.Construction: Sealed seams, premium insulation, and tinted double-paned glass provide thermal and UV protectionRefrigeration: Advanced CellarPro cooling units provide digital temperature and humidity control.COOLING UNIT OVERVIEWAll wine cabinets from Le Cache come with a choice of 3 energy-efficient CellarPro cooling units included in the price of the wine cabinet. The 3 CellarPro cooling units are dimensionally sized exactly alike, and therefore they are interchangeable. However, the 3 cooling units differ in terms of their BTUH cooling output and the level of noise that they produce. Each of the 3 cooling units is discussed below.CELLARPRO 1800QTL-ECXThe 1800QTL-ECX is our quietest cooling unit and is designed exclusively for residential use in a temperature-controlled environment. The 1800QTL-ECX is appropriate for all credenzas, Model 1400 and Model 2400 wine cabinets. It also can be used in larger Model 3100, Model 3800, and Model 5200 wine cabinets, provided that the desired cellar temperature is closer to 60F than 55F.This unit should not be used in ducted applications, or paired with our front duct hood.Key Stats: 1065 BTUH at 55F, 41 dbA installed in a cabinet.CELLARPRO 1800QT-ECXThe 1800QT-ECX cooling unit is approximately 30% more powerful and 4 decibels louder than The 1800QTL-ECX cooling unit. It is designed for residential use in a temperature-controlled environment. The 1800QT-ECX easily can maintain 55F in our largest wine cabinets.This unit can be used with our front duct hood.Key Stats: 1380 BTUH at 55F, 45 dbA installed in a cabinet.CELLARPRO 1800XT-ECXThe 1800XT-ECX is approximately 5% more powerful and 3 decibels louder than The 1800QT-ECX cooling unit because it uses more powerful fans. As a result, The 1800XT-ECX is ideally suited for garage environments (with temperatures ranging from 40F to 95F), commercial environments (where the cellar is frequently accessed), and installations with our front-duct hood.Key Stats: 1456 BTUH at 55F, 48 dbA installed in a cabinet.CELLARPRO 1800XTS-ECX1800XTS-ECX cooling units, approximately 30% more powerful than 1800XT-ECX cooling units, also can be used inside Le Cache wine cabinets for an additional charge.

The components of the cooling unit draw 3 amps, and the electric outlet on the side of the cooling unit also is rated for 3 amps. The cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the back of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible. We recommend using a surge protector rated at 15 amps or more. Under no circumstances should the wine cabinet share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge, or air conditioner.FLOOR SURFACE:Because of the significant weight of your wine cabinet, it is important that it be placed on a hard surface, otherwise, the cabinet may become skewed if the doors settle unevenly over time. If you will be placing your cabinet on thick carpeting, consider placing a carpet board underneath the wine cabinet. You can purchase a carpet board from Le Cache, or you can have your local hardware store cut a 3/4 inch plywood board to the following dimensions: 69.5w x 25dDOOR SWING CLEARANCE:The doors of our wine cabinets swing "wide" by approximately 1 inch when open at 90 degrees. The additional width should be accounted for when purchasing cabinets that do not have moldings because the stated widths of our wine cabinets do not account for the door swing. Please note that an additional width is required in front of the cabinet.WEIGHT LOAD FACTOR:After loading your wine cabinet with wine bottles, it will be extremely heavy. When selecting a location for your cabinet, make sure that the floor underneath is strong enough to support the weight of the cabinet.TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS:CellarPro cooling units are designed to handle temperatures ranging from 50 to 95F.VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS:The cooling unit generates hot air that must be exhausted in such a way that it won't be recirculated by the cooling unit. If the hot air cannot be dissipated or channeled properly, and the cooling unit is forced to recycle its own hot air, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain cold temperatures inside the wine cabinet and/or will overheat and/or will run all the time. Proper ventilation can be achieved in one of three ways:1. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH TOP-VENT CONFIGURATIONSOur upright wine cabinets have been engineered with top-vent cooling units and SB/0 Technology so that they can be placed right up against the wall. In this configuration, the hot air generated by the cooling unit is ventilated through the top of the wine cabinet, and the return air comes from above the wine cabinet, so there must be above and to the sides of the cabinets for the hot air to dissipate, as follows: Contemporary wine cabinets, Carolina wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets, and Vault wine cabinets require 18 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet. European Country wine cabinets and Mission wine cabinets require 12 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet. The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below). 2. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH Rear-Vent ConfigurationsOur upright wine cabinets can be configured so that the return air comes from behind the wine cabinet. This configuration is useful in situations where sufficient clearance around the wine cabinet doesn't exist. In this configuration: If the rear of the wine cabinet is not accessible, a minimum clearance of 7 1/2 inches above the wine cabinet is required for the removal and replacement of the cooling unit air filter. If the rear of the wine cabinet is accessible, a minimum clearance of 3 inches above the wine cabinet is required for proper airflow, and we recommend using our air deflector to direct the hot air exhaust to the left of the wine cabinet. In all cases, the wine cabinet must be placed 3-4" away from the rear wall. The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below) 3. UPRIGHT CABINETS with Front-Vent HoodsIf you want to place the wine cabinet flush against the wall but you don't have the required clearance (as outlined in Configuration 1 above), or you want to place the wine cabinet in an enclosed space, closet, or alcove, our front-vent hood (placed on top of the wine cabinet) can be used with 7 1/2 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet for removal of the hood and the air filter. Please note: Contemporary wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets, and Vault wine cabinets can use our front vent hood with OR without the decorative grill. European Country wine cabinets, Mission wine cabinets, and Carolina wine cabinets can use our front vent hood without the decorative grill (the decorative grill will not fit with crown moldings). 4. CREDENZA WINE CABINETSCredenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4" of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.

Bulk storage capacity is based on Bordeaux-size bottles.(4) Total capacity is the sum of racked plus bulk capacity, with double-deep storage in all cases except the Contemporary Credenza (which is single-deep). Usable capacity may be lower by 2-3 bottles when the first few cells under the cooling unit are left empty for proper air circulation. FAQs How do I choose between top intake versus rear intake?A top intake will allow you to place your wine cabinet flush against the wall; however, in order to operate properly, a cabinet with a top intake MUST have sufficient clearance ABOVE the cabinet. If sufficient clearance does not exist, the rear intake should be selected, and 3-4 inches of clearance must be provided BEHIND the wine cabinet. Regardless, the sides of the cabinet always need to be open - in other words, placement in an enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work unless our front-vent hood is used. Click on our placement requirements tab for more information.Does the unit really need a dedicated circuit?A: Yes, our units require dedicated circuits. When we say "dedicated circuit", we mean that the circuit shouldn't have any items that require heavy draws of electricity - eg other appliances, vacuum cleaners, big-screen TVs, blow-dryers - on the same circuit as the cooling unit. Lighting, computers, or other low-draw items shouldn't be a problem on the same circuit.Do I need the condensate drain line?A: You don't need the drain line because our wine cabinets are constructed to be airtight when the doors are closed, and the cooling unit has a drain pan to catch excess condensation, which is burned off as the cooling unit runs.Why does the fan run without the compressor?A: We've programmed our fans to stay "on" for 3 minutes after the compressor turns "off", and then every 15 minutes thereafter, to recirculate moisture inside the cabinet. This fan cycle is extremely energy efficient and increases the humidity inside the cabinet. Show more
