Le Cache Gallery 2400 Shale #36958

• SB/0™ Technology with top-vent exhaust: The cooling unit exhausts heat through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear, so it can be positioned flush against a wall with no rear clearance required. Useful for tight built-in alcoves or basement installations where wall clearance is limited.
• Active humidity management: Unlike wine coolers that control only temperature, the CellarPro unit actively maintains both temperature and humidity. The adjustable humidity control lets you dial in conditions for long-term aging rather than relying on passive moisture retention.
• Double-deep racking at 3.8" slots: 256 individually racked slots sized to fit standard Bordeaux and Burgundy bottles as well as many oversized formats. An additional ~30 bottles can be stacked in the bulk storage section below, for a total rated capacity of 286 bottles.
• Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: Higher R-value per inch than standard polyurethane foam, reducing thermal load and the frequency of compressor cycling - which matters for long-term mechanical reliability and noise levels.
• CellarPro cooling unit options: Choose between the 1800QT-HE and 1800XT-HE based on the room's thermal load. The 1800QT-HE is the quietest option. Review the Cooling Unit Selection Guide before ordering.
• Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes: Energy-Saver reduces compressor run time during stable conditions; Quick-Chill accelerates cooling after a large restock. Both are accessible via the front digital display without opening the cabinet.
• Audible and visual temperature alarms notify you of out-of-range conditions without requiring a connected app or external monitor.
• Stainless bar pull with keyed security lock on each door. Warranty is 5 years on the cooling unit and 2 years on the cabinet, with an optional extended warranty available.

Pairs Well With

• The optional bottle probe accessory, which provides a direct internal bottle temperature reading rather than air temperature - relevant if you are aging wines that require tight thermal monitoring.
• The optional extended warranty, particularly if the cabinet will be in a second home or basement where ambient conditions are less controlled and service calls are less convenient.

What These Specs Mean

• Running vs. Startup Amps: Running amps reflect the unit's electrical draw during normal operation. Startup amps reflect the brief increase in current when the compressor starts. Refer to the cooling unit installation instructions for circuit requirements.
• Cooling Unit Options: The CellarPro 1800QT-HE is the quietest available option. Other compatible models provide additional cooling capacity for installations with higher thermal loads. Use the Cooling Unit Selection Guide to identify the correct model for the installation conditions.

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.

BOTTLE CAPACITY

Please note:
(1) We count the top of the racks as 1 row when counting rows in our racks.
(2) Every slot in the racks is 3 3/4" and sized to fit oversized Burgundy and most Champagne-size bottles.
(3) Bulk storage is located atop the racks (except for the first row atop the racks). 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.
