Studio 1200 Wine Cooler 166 Bottle #36655

Placement requirements: 60-85F ambient temperature. If the ambient temperature is outside this range, the performance of the unit will be affected.

Size: 23 3/4w x 27d (without handle) 29 1/2d (with handle) x 69 3/4h (in)

Shelving: 15 pull-out shelves (13 rolling)

Quiet Mode The wine cooler can be put into "quiet mode", which reduces the fan speed by 20-25% and reduces the amount of noise produced by the fans, by pressing and holding the light button (while the display panel is locked from not being touched for 15 seconds) for about 3-5 seconds. The C/F indicator will flash when the unit is in "quiet mode."

• Single-zone configuration: One uniform temperature runs top to bottom. This works well if you’re storing a single type (e.g., all reds for aging) but is not suited for simultaneously holding whites at serving temp and reds at cellar temp. Compare against dual-zone models if your collection mixes varieties stored at different temperatures.
• 166-bottle capacity is calibrated to Bordeaux format — standard 750ml Bordeaux-profile bottles. Burgundy, Champagne, or magnum formats will occupy more shelf space and reduce total count. Plan accordingly if your cellar skews toward larger formats.
• 15 pull-out shelves (13 rolling): Rolling shelves let you retrieve bottles from the back without unloading the front. The remaining two are fixed. Shelves slide on wire guides and accommodate a range of bottle diameters, not just Bordeaux profiles.
• R600a compressor: This refrigerant runs at lower pressure than older R134a systems, which typically translates to quieter operation and reduced mechanical vibration — relevant for long-term storage where vibration can affect sediment and aging.
• Front-vented design with reversible door hinges: Venting at the front base means no side or rear clearance is required, so the unit can be flush-installed in a cabinet run or under a counter. The reversible hinge lets you choose left or right swing to match your layout.
• Dedicated 15-amp circuit required: 115V / 60Hz. This is a hard electrical requirement — verify your installation space has (or can have) a dedicated 15-amp circuit before ordering, especially in a remodel or basement build-out.
• Replaceable charcoal filter maintains air quality inside the cabinet. Factor in periodic filter replacement as part of ongoing maintenance.
• Interior blue LED lighting, keyed security lock and double-pane tinted tempered glass door included
• UL / ETL listed; CEC and DOE energy compliant
• Dimensions: 23¾”W × 27”D × 69¾”H (door handle adds 2½” to depth). Weight: 296 lbs.

• Replacement charcoal filter for this unit — the filter is user-replaceable and should be swapped out periodically to maintain clean interior air circulation.

What These Specs Mean

• 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: This unit cannot share a breaker with other appliances; a separate 15-amp circuit must be run to the installation location, which typically requires a licensed electrician.
• R600a Compressor: R600a is an isobutane-based refrigerant used in energy-efficient compressor systems; it operates at lower energy draw than older refrigerant types and meets current CEC and DOE energy standards.

Studio 1200 Manual

PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

• This appliance is designed for free standing installation or can be recessed into cabinetry.
• The wine cellar should be placed in a location where the ambient temperature is between 60-85°F. If the ambient temperature is outside this range, the performance of the unit may be affected.
• Place your wine cellar on a flat, solid floor that is strong enough to support it when it is fully loaded. To level your wine cellar, adjust the front leveling leg at the bottom of the wine cellar.
• When moving your wine cellar, please do not incline it more than 45 degrees.
• Locate the wine cellar away from direct sunlight and sources of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption.
• Avoid locating the unit in damp areas.
• Plug the wine cellar into a dedicated (for this appliance only), properly installed and grounded wall outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (grounding) prong from the power cord. Any questions concerning power and/or electrical grounding should be directed to a certified electrician or authorized product service center.

Can the Studio 1200 be installed as a built-in under-counter unit, or does it have to stand alone?

A: It can do both. The Studio 1200 is front-vented, which means heat exhausts through the front grille rather than the sides or rear. That design makes it safe for under-counter or recessed cabinetry installation without requiring clearance on the sides or back. The door hinges are also reversible, so you can configure the swing direction to match your space. Freestanding placement works equally well.

The 166-bottle rating — is that realistic for a mixed cellar of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Napa Cabernet?

A: The 166-bottle figure is based on standard Bordeaux-sized bottles, which are among the slimmest common wine bottle formats. Burgundy, Pinot Noir and many Napa Cabernets use a wider bottle profile, so real-world capacity with a mixed cellar will be lower. The 15 pull-out sliding wire shelves (13 of which roll out) do accommodate a variety of shapes and sizes, but if the bulk of your collection runs to Burgundy-style bottles, plan for a meaningful reduction from the stated 166-bottle ceiling.

Is this a single-zone or dual-zone cooler? Can I store reds and whites at different temperatures simultaneously?

A: The Studio 1200 (SKU 36655) is a single-zone unit, meaning the entire cabinet holds one set temperature. It is not designed to maintain separate zones for reds and whites at the same time. If you need simultaneous multi-temperature storage — for example, aging Bordeaux at 55°F while keeping whites at 45°F — you would need to look at a dual-zone model.

What are the electrical requirements, and do I need a dedicated circuit?

A: The Studio 1200 runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit. This is a hard requirement, not a recommendation — sharing a circuit with other appliances can cause voltage fluctuations that affect both compressor performance and longevity. If you’re planning a built-in installation during a remodel, factor the dedicated circuit into your electrical rough-in before the unit arrives.

What does the warranty cover, and how long does it last?

A: The Studio 1200 carries a 1-year warranty on parts and labor and a separate 5-year warranty on the compressor. The compressor coverage matters here because the unit uses an R600a compressor — a refrigerant-efficient component that is the most expensive single part to replace. The extended compressor warranty provides meaningful long-term protection on that specific failure point.

What are the exact dimensions, and how much depth does the handle add?

A: The cabinet measures 23¾” wide x 27” deep x 69¾” tall. The handle adds an additional 2½” of depth, bringing total depth with handle to approximately 29½”. The unit weighs 296 lbs, so floor reinforcement and final positioning should be planned before delivery. Confirm your opening dimensions account for the handle depth if the door needs to clear surrounding cabinetry.
