Studio 400 Double Stainless 92 Bottle #36768

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

Size: 47 1/2w x 25d (with handle) 22 1/2d (without handle) x 34 1/4h (in)

Shelving: 12 pull-out shelves (10 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."

• Two independently programmable zones: Each half of the cabinet runs its own single-zone temperature program. In practice, you can hold one side at red wine storage temperature and the other at a white wine or service temperature without needing a true dual-zone compressor on each unit.
• Front-ducted ventilation: Heat exhausts from the front grille rather than the sides or rear, which is what makes flush built-in installation possible. No rear or side clearance gaps are required, so the unit can be recessed into cabinetry or a niche.
• R600a compressor refrigerant: Runs with lower vibration than older refrigerant systems — a meaningful distinction for long-term storage where compressor vibration can disturb sediment in aged Bordeaux or Burgundy.
• 12 pull-out shelves (10 rolling wire) sized to accommodate both standard Bordeaux and wider Burgundy bottle profiles
• Reversible door hinges: Both doors can be re-hung to open in the opposite direction, giving you flexibility if cabinetry or wall placement constrains the swing path.
• Requires a 15-amp dedicated circuit (115V / 60Hz) — factor this into rough-in planning if retrofitting into existing cabinetry or a finished room
• Rated for ambient temperatures between 60°F and 85°F; performance may be affected in an uninsulated garage or any unconditioned space that falls outside that range
• IWA-exclusive bundle saves $100 versus purchasing the two Studio 400 units separately; both units ship together

Studio 400 Manual

What These Specs Mean

• 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: This unit cannot share a breaker with other appliances — a dedicated line is required to run safely without tripping the circuit under load.
• R600a Refrigerant: An isobutane-based refrigerant used in the advanced compressor system; it operates quietly and with low energy draw, but any sealed-system service must be performed by a certified technician.

Can the Studio 400 Double be installed built-in, or does it have to be freestanding?

A: It can be installed either way. The unit is front-ducted, meaning all ventilation exits through the front grille rather than the sides or rear. That allows it to be fully recessed into cabinetry or used freestanding without any clearance modification. Just note the depth: 22 1/2" without the handle, 25" with the handle, so plan your cabinet opening accordingly.

Does each side have its own independent temperature control?

A: Yes. The two coolers are separate units joined side-by-side, and each one is a single-zone cooler that can be programmed independently. You can set different temperatures on the left and right sides. That said, each side is a single zone — there is no split-zone control within a single cabinet. If you want to store reds and whites at different temperatures, you can use one side for each.

The stated capacity is 92 bottles — does that hold with Burgundy or larger-format bottles?

A: The 92-bottle figure is based on standard Bordeaux-size bottles. The sliding wire shelves are designed to accommodate a wide range of bottle shapes including Burgundy, but wider bottles will reduce the total count. Expect real-world capacity to be meaningfully lower if your collection is heavily Burgundy-format. Plan on roughly 70–80 bottles if your mix leans that direction.

What are the electrical requirements, and does it need a dedicated circuit?

A: The Studio 400 Double runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit. Because this is two compressor-based units bundled together, a shared general-use outlet is not appropriate. If you’re recessing this into a cabinet or wet bar, confirm your electrician has a dedicated line roughed in before delivery.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

A: The warranty includes 1 year on parts and labor, with an extended 5-year warranty specifically on the compressor. The compressor coverage is the more meaningful number for long-term reliability — the R600a compressor is the most expensive component to replace, so five years of coverage on it provides meaningful protection.

How much does the unit weigh, and what should I know before delivery?

A: The Studio 400 Double weighs 360 lbs. White-glove or curbside delivery logistics matter here — this is not a unit two people can easily maneuver up stairs or around tight corners without equipment. Measure your doorway and path carefully: the unit is 47 1/2" wide, so a standard 36" door will not accommodate it without removing the doors from the unit or the door from the frame.
