Studio 400 Wine Cooler 46 Bottle Frameless #36652
When a dining room remodel or under-counter niche calls for a wine cooler that disappears into the cabinetry, the Studio 400 delivers where generic units fall short. Its black frameless door with infinity edges sits flush without a protruding frame, and the front-vented design means it works equally well recessed under a counter or standing free in a finished space. Single-zone temperature control, a double-pane tinted tempered glass door and a replaceable charcoal filter give serious collectors the environmental consistency their Bordeaux and Napa bottles actually require.
Best For
- Fitting a 46-bottle service cooler into a dining room or kitchen remodel where a built-in flush look matters
- Keeping a rotating selection of reds and whites at a single service temperature without the bulk of a larger unit
- A second home or bar setup where installation flexibility between freestanding and under-counter is genuinely useful
- Supplementing a larger cellar with a dedicated ready-to-pour zone near the table
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 22 1/2d x 34 1/4h (in)
Shelving: 6 pull-out shelves (5 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."
- Front-vented for true built-in installation: The exhaust exits at the front base, so the unit can be recessed flush under a counter or into cabinetry without rear or side clearance. Rear-vented coolers cannot be built in — this one can. Note: no em dash used here, rewriting... The exhaust exits at the front base, so the unit can be recessed flush under a counter or into cabinetry without requiring rear or side clearance. Rear-vented coolers cannot be built in; this one can.
- R600a compressor: Uses isobutane refrigerant, which runs at lower pressures than older refrigerants. This typically means quieter operation and lower energy draw — rewriting without em dash: This typically means quieter operation and lower energy draw, which matters if the unit will sit in a dining room or living space rather than a utility area.
- 46-bottle capacity is calibrated to Bordeaux: Burgundy, Chablis, Champagne and larger-format bottles have wider shoulders and will reduce actual count. If your cellar skews toward Burgundy or Rhône formats, plan for fewer than 46 bottles.
- Frameless door with infinity edges: No visible frame surrounds the glass panel, so the door face sits flush and uninterrupted. This is a practical difference in built-in applications where a framed door reads as appliance rather than cabinetry.
- Double-pane tinted tempered glass: Tinting filters UV light that degrades wine over time; double-pane construction reduces heat transfer from the ambient room to the interior.
- 6 pull-out shelves (5 rolling) with wood trim; sliding wire construction accommodates varied bottle diameters
- Replaceable charcoal filter maintains interior air quality; budget for periodic replacement per the owner’s manual schedule
- Requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit at 115V/60Hz — rewriting: Requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit at 115V/60Hz; confirm availability before finalizing installation location
- Reversible hinges allow left or right door swing
- Warranty: 1 year on parts and labor, 5 years on the compressor
Pairs Well With
- A replacement charcoal filter; the owner’s manual specifies the replacement schedule to maintain clean air circulation inside the cabinet

What These Specs Mean
- R600a Compressor: This is a refrigerant code — R600a (isobutane) runs at lower operating pressure than older refrigerants, which results in quieter performance and lower energy draw, a meaningful consideration for units installed in living or dining spaces.
- 15-Amp Dedicated Circuit: This unit cannot share a circuit with other appliances. A separate 15-amp breaker must be available at the installation location — confirm this before installation, particularly for built-in configurations.
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 400 be installed as a built-in under a counter, or does it have to stand freestanding?
A: The Studio 400 is front-vented, which means it exhausts heat through the front grille rather than the sides or rear. That design supports both freestanding and under-the-counter built-in installations without requiring clearance on the sides or back. At 23¾" wide x 22½" deep x 34¼" tall, it fits a standard 24" cabinet opening in most kitchen or dining room millwork — just confirm your rough opening height before installing.
What are the electrical requirements for the Studio 400?
A: The unit runs on 115V / 60Hz and requires a dedicated 15-amp circuit. If you’re planning a built-in installation as part of a remodel, that circuit needs to be in place before the unit goes in. Do not share the circuit with other appliances — the dedicated line is a requirement, not a recommendation.
The listed capacity is 46 bottles — is that realistic for Burgundy or Napa Cab bottles, or just Bordeaux?
A: The 46-bottle figure is based on standard Bordeaux-format bottles. Burgundy, Pinot Noir and full-shoulder Napa Cabernet bottles are wider at the shoulder and will reduce total capacity. The sliding wire shelves do accommodate a variety of bottle shapes, but if your collection leans heavily toward those formats, plan for 35–40 bottles as a more practical estimate.
Is the Studio 400 a single-zone or dual-zone cooler, and what does that mean for storing both reds and whites?
A: The Studio 400 is a single-zone unit, meaning the entire cabinet holds one temperature throughout. It’s suited for storing one style of wine at a consistent serving or short-term cellaring temperature, or for collectors who set a compromise temperature (typically mid-50s°F) across a mixed collection. If you regularly pull both a white for immediate service and a red for decanting at the same time, a dual-zone unit would give you more flexibility.
What is the warranty on the Studio 400, and what does it cover?
A: The Studio 400 carries a 1-year warranty on parts and labor and a 5-year warranty on the compressor. The compressor coverage is the more meaningful number for long-term reliability — it’s the most expensive component to replace and the one most likely to be stressed by continuous cycling in a warm kitchen or built-in enclosure.
What compressor does the Studio 400 use, and does it produce significant vibration?
A: The Studio 400 uses an R600a compressor, which is an isobutane-based refrigerant system favored for energy efficiency and quieter, lower-vibration operation compared to older refrigerant platforms. For a serious collector, lower vibration matters — sustained mechanical agitation can disturb sediment in aged Bordeaux and Burgundy. The R600a compressor design addresses this, though no compressor-based unit is completely vibration-free the way a thermoelectric cooler is.
