Le Cache Euro 2400 Chocolate #747

• SB/0™ flush-wall placement: Heat exhausts through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear, so no rear clearance is needed. The unit can sit directly against a wall or inside a built-in nook — a practical consideration for dining room or finished-basement installations where wall clearance is limited.
• Three CellarPro cooling unit options (QTL / QT / XT): All run on 115V / 60 Hz. The QTL draws 2.4A running (14.2A startup) and is the quietest of the three — the relevant choice if the cabinet will be in a living space. The QT and XT draw 2.9A and 3.0A respectively with higher startup amps. A thermal load calculator is available to match the unit to your room conditions.
• Adjustable active humidity control: Humidity is actively managed and adjustable, not simply a passive byproduct of the cooling cycle. A published performance chart shows actual humidity output ranges at different settings.
• Rack configuration: 256 racked slots sized at 3.8-inch width accommodate most large-format bottles including Burgundy and Champagne. An additional ~30 bottles fit in the bulk stacking zone at the bottom. All-wood interlocking racks are included.
• Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: Higher R-value per inch than standard expanded polystyrene foam, which matters for maintaining stable internal temperatures in rooms with variable ambient conditions.
• Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill operating modes, with both audible and visual alarms for temperature excursions
• High-performance air filtration system with top-view filter access (see filter diagram linked in specs)
• Optional bottle probe: Measures temperature at the bottle itself rather than ambient cabinet air — more accurate for confirming actual storage conditions during long-term aging.
• Warranty split: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit; 2 years on the cabinet. An extended warranty is available separately and covers both components beyond the standard terms.

Pairs Well With

• The optional bottle probe — adds direct bottle-level temperature monitoring rather than relying solely on ambient cabinet readings, which can differ meaningfully from the temperature at the bottle during a cooling cycle.

What These Specs Mean

• Running vs. Startup Amps: The startup (inrush) current when the compressor first engages is 5–7x higher than the steady running draw — the dedicated circuit must be rated to handle the startup peak, not just the continuous load.
• Cooling Unit Options (QTL / QT / XT): Each model represents a different cooling capacity; the right choice depends on ambient room temperature and the thermal conditions of the installation space — use the Thermal Load Calculations guide to match the unit to the environment.

PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

POWER REQUIREMENT:
The power cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible.

The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. We recommend adding a surge protector, rated at 15 amps or more (for example, click here), to protect the cooling unit from power surges.

The outlet must be on a dedicated circuit. 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 cooling unit should not, under any circumstances, share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge, air conditioner, or garage opener.

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: 45w x 25d (inches).

DOOR 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 the 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 CONFIGURATIONS
  Our 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 clearance 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, Vault wine cabinets and a Semi-Custom 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 Configurations
  Our 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 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 inches 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 Hoods
  If 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 CABINETS
Credenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4 inches of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.

Can the Euro 2400 be placed flush against a wall, or does it require clearance space around it?

A: Yes — the Euro 2400 uses Le Cache’s SB/0™ Technology, which routes exhaust through a top vent rather than out the back or sides. That means the cabinet can sit directly against a wall with zero rear clearance. It is a freestanding unit, not built-in, but the top-vent design makes it practical for dining rooms, finished basements and tight alcoves without sacrificing airflow to the cooling unit.

What is the true bottle capacity, and will it accommodate oversized Bordeaux or Burgundy bottles?

A: Total capacity is 286 bottles: 256 in racked slots and approximately 30 in bulk stacking space. The racked slots are 3.8 inches wide, and the all-wood interlock system uses universal racking specifically designed to accommodate oversized bottles — heavier Burgundy-format bottles, large-format Champagne and thick-shouldered Bordeaux all fit without modification.

How does this cabinet manage humidity, and why does that matter for long-term aging?

A: The Euro 2400 includes an adjustable humidity control system driven by the CellarPro cooling unit, backed by foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams that maintain interior conditions. Standard wine coolers and refrigerators cycle humidity out during normal operation, which dries corks and accelerates oxidation over time. This cabinet is engineered to hold the humidity range wines need for long-term cellaring — not just short-term chilling.

What are the electrical requirements, and which cooling unit configuration should I choose?

A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz — a standard household circuit. Three CellarPro cooling units are available: the 1800QTL-ECX draws 2.4 running amps (14.2 startup), the 1800QT-ECX draws 2.9 running amps (20.1 startup) and the 1800XT-ECX draws 3.0 running amps (20.1 startup). The right choice depends on the ambient temperature and insulation load of the room where the cabinet will live — Le Cache provides thermal load calculation tools to match the unit to your environment.

How quiet is the Euro 2400, and is it suitable for a living space or dining room?

A: The Euro 2400 ships with CellarPro cooling units specifically selected as the most advanced and quietest available for this cabinet format. The unit also includes an Energy-Saver mode that reduces compressor cycling during stable ambient conditions, further lowering operating sound. Exact decibel output varies by which CellarPro model is selected — Le Cache publishes detailed sound performance data for each unit so you can compare before purchasing.

What does the warranty cover, and is extended coverage available?

A: The Euro 2400 carries a 2-year warranty on the entire cabinet and a separate 5-year warranty on the CellarPro cooling unit. An optional extended warranty is available for buyers who want coverage beyond those terms. These are two distinct warranty pools, so a cooling unit issue in year four is still covered under the cooling warranty even after the cabinet warranty has expired.
