WHEN TAKING DELIVERY OF YOUR WINE CABINET, FOLLOW THE INSPECTION
PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN CHAPTER III.
THE COOLING SYSTEM IS PROGRAMMED WITH A 3-MINUTE DELAY AT
STARTUP TO PROTECT INTERNAL COMPONENTS.
YOU MAY PLUG IN THE COOLING UNIT AT TIME OF DELIVERY TO TEST THAT IT
WORKS. ONCE TESTED, WE RECOMMEND SWITCHNG “OFF” THE COOLING
UNIT AND WAITING FOR 24 HOURS BEFORE NORMAL OPERATION.
THE COOLING UNIT SHOULD BE PLUGGED INTO AN OUTLET CONNECTED TO
A DEDICATED 15-AMP CIRCUIT
WE RECOMMEND PLUGGING THE COOLING UNIT INTO A SURGE PROTECTOR
(MINIMUM OF 15-AMPS) TO PROTECT THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FROM
POWER SURGES OR SPIKES.
IF THE WALL OUTLET IS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE WINE CABINET, USE AN
EXTENSION CORD (GROUNDED; 14 GAUGE OR THICKER) AND COIL THE
EXCESS AT THE TOP OF THE CABINET SO THAT YOU WON’T NEED TO MOVE
THE WINE CABINET IN THE EVENT THAT THE COOLING UNIT NEEDS TO BE
REPLACED.
THE COOLING UNIT SHOULD BE “OFF” WHEN LOADING LARGE QUANTITIES
OF BOTTLES. IF THE COOLING UNIT RUNS WHILE THE DOORS ARE OPEN, IT
WILL CAUSE EXCESS CONDENSATION, LEAKING AND A REDUCTION IN
COOLING POWER
P L E A S E N O T E!
UNTIL YOU’VE LOADED BOTTLES INTO YOUR WINE CABINET, DO NOT OPEN
BOTH DOORS AT THE SAME TIME. THE DOORS ARE EXTREMELY HEAVY AND
WHEN BOTH DOORS ARE OPENED, THE CABINET CAN TIP FORWARD IF THE
CABINET IS EMPTY.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS –
UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH STANDARD CONFIGURATIONS
The hot air generated by the cooling unit is ventilated through the top of our upright wine
cabinets (ie not credenzas.) Consequently, upright wine cabinets must have sufficient
clearance above the cabinets for hot air to dissipate, or else the hot air must be channeled
away from the cooling unit. If the hot air cannot be dissipated or channeled, the cooling
unit will recycle its own hot air, and therefore it will be unable to maintain cold temperatures
inside the wine cabinet and/or will run all the time.
Our wine cabinets have been engineered with SB/0™ Technology so that they can be
placed right up against the wall, as follows:
Freestanding, Open Placement:
Contemporary, Loft and Vault wine cabinets require 18 inches of clearance above
the wine cabinet
European Country and Mission wine cabinets require 12 inches of clearance
above the wine cabinet
The sides always need to be open – ie alcoves, closets or other built-in
installations will not work without our front-vent hood (see Option 2 below).
Limited Clearance - Low Ceiling Height (Option 1):
If you don’t have the required clearance above the wine cabinet, we can
configure the wine cabinet so that the cabinet intakes air from the rear. There is
no additional charge for this option. In this configuration, the wine cabinet willl
need to be placed 3-4” away from the rear wall. The sides need to be open – ie
alcoves, closets or other built-in installations will not work without our front-vent
hood (see Option 2 below).
Please note: minimum clearance of 7 ½ inches above the wine cabinet is
required in order to remove the air filter (ie periodic maintenance) for the cooling
unit.
Limited Clearance – Enclosed Space (Option 2):
If you want to place the wine cabinet flush against the wall, or you want to place
the cabinet in an enclosed space like a closet or alcove, you may purchase our
front-vent hood to place on top of the cabinet. The front vent hood can be used
with all Le Cache wine cabinets that have CellarPro cooling units, as follows:
oContemporary, Loft and Vault wine cabinets can use our front-vent hood
either with or without the decorative grill.

L E C A C H E P R E M I U M W I N E C A B I N E T S
-7-
oEuropean Country and Mission wine cabinets can use our front-vent hood
without the decorative grill (the grill will not fit with crown moldings.)
Please note: minimum clearance of 7 ½ inches above the wine cabinet is
required in order to remove the hood and air filter (ie periodic maintenance) for
the cooling unit.
Credenza wine cabinets don’t require clearance above the wine cabinet; however,
credenzas require 3-4" of space behind the wine cabinet because the ventilation (intake
and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.
If you received an air diverter with your credenza, use the magnets to place the diverter on
the back of the cooling unit (at the back of the credenza) so that the hot air exhaust is
directed to the left (when facing the credenza).
THERMAL LOADS AND COOLING CAPACITIES
We offer a choice of several cooling units, which should be selected based on the size of
the cabinet, the temperature in the ambient environment and the desired temperature
inside the wine cabinet, as follows:
Cooling Unit Capacity @ 55°F (1)
1800QTL BTUH: 1065 Decibels: 42

Legend
The tables are shaded to show which cooling units will and won't work given the thermal
load derived from the size of the cabinet and the ambient temperature, as follows:
The light-shaded numbers represent thermal loads that are within the capacity of all
CellarPro 1800 cooling units (ie 1800QTL, 1800QT and 1800XT)
The medium-shaded numbers represent thermal loads that are within the capacity of
the 1800QT and 1800XT, but not the 1800QTL, cooling units
The dark-shaded numbers in italics are within the capacity of the 1800XT cooling unit
"X" indicates conditions that are beyond the capacity of our 1800XT cooling unit.
Summary
The following guidelines are designed to assist you in selecting the appropriate CellarPro
wine cooling unit for your Le Cache (or similar size) wine cabinet.
CellarPro 1800QTL is our quietest cooling unit and is appropriate for our smaller
and medium sized wine cabinets

L E C A C H E P R E M I U M W I N E C A B I N E T S
-9-
CellarPro 1800QT is 30% more powerful and noticeably louder than the 1800QTL. It
is most appropriate for use with our larger wine cabinets. When combined with our
sound hood (sold separately), the noise level is equivalent to the 1800QTL.
CellarPro 1800XT is slightly more powerful than the 1800QT, and is recommended
when cabinets will be placed in difficult environments like garages (not to exceed 95
degrees), basements and/or commercial establishments.
(1) To calculate the approximate "run time" over a 24-hour period, divide the thermal load
(based on the average ambient over the 24-hour period) by the BTUH.
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
(inches):
Model # Length Width
Carpet Board Dimensions – All Series
1400 26.5 25
2400 35 25
3100 45 25
3800 54 25
5200 69.5 25
Euro Credenza 63 25
Contemp Credenza 61 17
POWER REQUIREMENT
The cooling unit plugs into a standard wall outlet. 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
cord extends 6 ½ feet from the back of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be
14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible. We recommend using a surge
protector rated at 15 amps or more, and using a dedicated 15-amp circuit. Under no
circumstances should the wine cabinet share a circuit with another motor or
compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge or air conditioner.

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.

OPENING THE DOORS
When cabinets are shipped in hot or cold weather, the rubber gaskets can become tacky
and stick to the cabinet. NEVER USE FORCE TO OPEN THE DOORS, because it will rip
the gaskets off the doors. Instead, starting at one corner, use your fingers or a ruler to ply
away the gasket from the cabinet.
MOVING THE CABINET
It is OK to tip the wine cabinet forward, backwards or on its side in order to get it through a
doorway. However, you should NEVER PUSH, PULL OR LIFT the cabinet by its doors.
If you need to remove the door(s) to get the cabinet through a doorway, simply remove the
top hinge at the top corner(s) of the cabinet (three screws) and lift the door straight up until
it slides out of the bottom hinge. When setting the door down on the floor, be careful to
avoid damaging the hinge pin on the bottom of the door. IMPORTANT NOTE: Look for
and save any shim washers on the lower hinge brass bushing (used to equalize door
heights). To reinstall the doors, follow these instructions in reverse.
LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS
The first step in setting up your wine cabinet is to make sure that it is level, with all the
leveling feet squarely on the floor and with the doors properly sealed against the cabinet.
The wine cabinet can be leveled by turning the leveling feet underneath the cabinet. You
can extend the feet of the cabinet by turning the feet CLOCKWISE (assuming you are
looking down from the top of the cabinet.)
Begin with corner feet touching the floor and center feet (if any) raised.
If the cabinet is resting on plush carpet, place a carpet board under the cabinet so
that all the leveling feet will remain on the same plane over time.
Side to Side – Place a level on the top of the cabinet (not the door) parallel to the
door. Raise or lower either side of the cabinet by rotating the feet by hand. On larger
cabinets with six leveling feet, use the four corner feet only for leveling purposes.
After leveling, lower the center leveling feet to the floor.
Front to Back – place a level on top of the cabinet (not the door) perpendicular to the
door, and follow the same procedure.

L E C A C H E P R E M I U M W I N E C A B I N E T S
-12-
If cabinet is level, the lock should work freely without force. Also, the door(s) should
be even (within 1/4 inch) with the top edge of the cabinet. Additionally, there should
be no gaps between the rubber gasket on the door, and the face of the cabinet.
DOOR ALIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
After leveling the cabinet, the doors must be aligned so that they are even with each other,
square with the cabinet and create an airtight seal inside the cabinet. Air leaks caused by
improper door alignment will compromise the environment inside the cabinet, and may
create condensation which, left untreated, will cause warping of the door. Follow the
instructions below to properly align your door(s).
If your cabinet has only one door, the plane of the top of the door should be parallel
to the plane of the cabinet. If the non-hinge (i.e. left) corner of the door is higher
than the cabinet, go to the BACK RIGHT CORNER of the cabinet and turn the
leveling foot once CLOCKWISE, which will raise the right/back of the cabinet and
lower corner of the front door. If the non-hinge corner is lower than the cabinet, go
to the BACK LEFT CORNER of the cabinet and turn the leveling foot once
CLOCKWISE, which will raise the left/back of the cabinet so that it is even with the
corner of the front door. After adjusting the feet, open and shut the door, and check
again to see if the door is aligned.
If both doors are not on the same plane (i.e. one door is higher than the other), use
the leveling feet to adjust the doors. Start with the door that is too high (in the
illustration at right, the left door is too high), and go to the BACK CORNER
LEVELING FOOT on the SAME SIDE as the door that’s too high (in the illustration at
right, go to the back foot on the left side of the cabinet.) Turn the leveling foot once
CLOCKWISE, which will raise the left/back of the cabinet and lower the front left
door. After adjusting the feet, open and shut the doors. Repeat the process until
the left door is level with the right door. It shouldn’t take more than one or two
clockwise turns to get both doors aligned.
Unaligned Doors:
Inside corner of Left Door is Too High
Aligned Doors:
Both Doors are on the Same Plane

L E C A C H E P R E M I U M W I N E C A B I N E T S
-13-
If the top corner of a door is sticking out more than 1/8 inch, you have "top torque".
If the bottom corner of a door is sticking out more than 1/8 inch, you have "bottom
torque". To fix torque, if your cabinet has six leveling feet, start by raising the two
center leveling feet so that those feet aren’t touching the floor. For top torque, go
to the BACK CORNER LEVELING FOOT on the OPPOSITE SIDE of the torqued door
and turn CLOCKWISE. For bottom torque, go to the BACK CORNER LEVELING
FOOT on the SAME SIDE as the torqued door and turn CLOCKWISE. When the
torque has been fixed (tolerances up to 1/8 inch are acceptable), lower the center
leveling feet until they touch the floor.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your wine cabinet has six leveling feet, make sure that all six
leveling feet are firmly touching the floor before loading wine into the cabinet. The
center leveling foot in the rear can be hard to reach, so make sure that the delivery
team doesn’t forget to adjust all six feet.
IF YOU ARE PLACING YOUR WINE CABINET ON CARPET: Much of the weight
of an EMPTY wine cabinet resides in the doors. If your wine cabinet is tilting forward
when first placed on the carpet or a carpet board, DO NOT over-compensate by
extending the front leveling feet. Instead, load some bottles into the back of the
wine cabinet until the weight is more evenly distributed, and adjust the leveling feet
so that the wine cabinet is level front-to-back. The cabinet no longer should be
leaning forward at this point. Over time, additional adjustments may be required to
align the doors as the increasing weight of the wine cabinet causes the carpet and
pad to compress.

UPRIGHT WINE CABINETS –
CROWN AND BASE MOLDINGS
For European Country wine cabinets, the crown and base moldings are shipped in a
separate box. For Mission wine cabinets, the crown molding is shipped in a separate box.
To assemble the moldings, do the following:
-Adjust the leveling feet below the cabinet until the doors are aligned
-Place the base molding (3-sided) on
the floor in front of the cabinet
-Align the sides of the base molding
with the tracks on the bottom of the
wine cabinet, and gently slide the
molding back until it comes to a
stop.
oIt may be necessary to tilt up
the front of the wine cabinet
in order to install the base
molding..
oIf the base molding won’t
slide into place, you may
need to extend all the
leveling feet an equal
amount to raise the wine
cabinet while maintaining the
alignment of the doors.
-Place the crown molding on top of
the wine cabinet. The hinges
should seat in the slots underneath
the molding.
-Some wine cabinets come with screws (included in the envelope hanging inside the
wine cabinet) that can be used to attach the brackets on the crown molding to the
top of the cabinet.

CREDENZA WINE CABINETS –
CREDENZA TOP AND BASE MOLDINGS
For European Country and Mission credenzas, the moldings are shipped in a separate box.
To attach the moldings, do the following:
-Adjust the leveling feet below the credenza until the doors are aligned
-Align the sides of the base molding with the tracks on the bottom of the wine
cabinet, and gently slide the molding back until it comes to a stop.
oIt may be necessary to tilt up the front of the wine cabinet in order to install
the base molding.
oIf the base molding won’t slide into place, you may need to extend all the
leveling feet an equal amount to raise the wine cabinet while maintaining the
alignment of the doors.
-Remove the credenza top and place it on the top of the credenza. The holes in the
top should be aligned with the holes in the credenza
-Place a washer on each bolt, and from inside the credenza, insert the bolts through
the holes in the ceiling of the credenza, and fasten the bolts to the credenza top.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

VI. O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S
SOUND HOOD
We created a sound hood that reduces the noise level of the
cooling unit by 2-3 decibels. The sound hood is designed to slope
up and back (as shown at right). There are two guides in the
bottom of the hood that are designed to fit into the hot air exhaust
opening. The sound hood is positioned correctly when it is laying
flat on top of the wine cabinet.
The sound hood also can be used with credenzas*. There are two
guides in the bottom of the hood that are designed to fit into the
hot air exhaust opening, and when the sound hood is positioned correctly, it is laying flat on
back wall of the credenza. There are two screwholes in the sound hood that should be used
to hold the hood from falling off the credenza (you will need to attach two screws or nails
into the back of the credenza.) The power cord should run through the hot air exhaust
opening.
PLEASE NOTE: The sound hood must be configured to be TOP-VENTED or REAR-
VENTED, as follows:
Upright wine cabinets with crown moldings: the sound hood must be
configured to be TOP-VENTED (ie the panel should block the back of the
hood).
Upright wine cabinets with no crown moldings: the sound hood may be
configured to be either top-vented or rear-vented, whichever yields the best
sound results.
Credenza wine cabinets: the sound hood must be configured to be BACK-
VENTED (ie the panel should block the top of the hood.).
* On credenzas, the air filter must be removed and cannot be used with the sound hood .
BOTTLE PROBE
Bottle probe temperature sensors can be used to cycle on/off based on changes in air or
liquid temperatures inside the wine cellar. When used to measure liquid temperatures, our
bottle probe, which includes a rubber bottle stopper to avoid leaks and spills, should be
inserted into a wine bottle filled with water and alcohol to avoid bacteria growth. The 10-
foot cord allows the bottle to be placed almost anywhere inside the wine cellar. The other
side of the probe is fitted with a jack that plugs directly into the wine cooling unit. When
using a bottle probe to measure liquid temperature, we recommend reducing the

L E C A C H E P R E M I U M W I N E C A B I N E T S
-17-
temperature (HY) differential from 4 degrees to 1 degree. Refer to our “Advanced
Operation” instructions for further instructions how to change the HY differential.
AIR FILTER
All wine cabinets shipped after February 18, 2010, include an air
filter that magnetically attaches to the rear of the cooling unit. To
replace the filter, remove the filter frame from the top of the wine
cabinet (see the image at right), and replace the filter when it
becomes dirty (anywhere from 3 to 9 months depending on the
conditions in your location.
When replacing the filter, the blue fibers should face the
cooling unit, and the white fibers should face away from the
cooling unit.
Replacement filters may be purchased at www.lecache.com.
CELLARPRO COOLING UNIT
Factory Settings
The settings on your CellarPro cooling unit have been preset and optimized by the factory,
and it is not necessary to change these settings initially.
If you find that you want to change one or more of the settings, we strongly recommend
that you allow the cooling unit to operate for 14 days before making any changes.
The cooling system is programmed with a 3-Minute Delay at Startup to protect its internal
components.
Temperature
Proper temperatures are maintained by transferring heat from inside wine cellars and
exhausting the heat through the top (top-vent) or rear (rear-vent) of the cooling units.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to turn on when the temperature inside the cellar
exceeds the Minimum Set Point plus the Temperature Differential, and turn off when the
temperature inside the cellar drops below the Minimum Set Point. For example, if the

L E C A C H E P R E M I U M W I N E C A B I N E T S
-18-
Minimum Set Point is 58°F and the Temperature Differential is 4°F, the cooling unit will turn
on when the temperature inside the cellar rises above 62°F, and turn off when the
temperature falls below 58°F.
A number of variables, including the temperatures of the ambient environment, the
insulation of the cellar and the thermal mass inside the cellar, will affect the speed with
which the temperature inside the cellar rises during the cooling unit’s “off” cycle.
CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain optimal temperatures for storage and
aging of wine. Most wine collectors store their wine in the range of 55 - 60°F. If the cooling
unit runs too much, you should raise the Minimum Set Point to reduce the cycle “on” time.
It is normal for the cooling unit to run up to 75 percent of the time in order to maintain
proper conditions inside the cellar.
CellarPro cooling units will provide peak performance in environments with temperatures
up to 85°F. When ambient temperatures exceed 85°F, the cooling unit may struggle to
maintain 55°F inside the cellar and hover closer to 60°F. Above 95°F, the cooling unit’s
performance will begin to degrade.
CellarPro cooling units are not designed to maintain cellars at much colder serving
temperatures.
Humidity
CellarPro cooling units are designed to maintain appropriate levels of humidity, ranging
from 50 to 70 percent, inside your wine cellar. Relative humidity conditions depend on
several factors, including:
oAmbient humidity: The higher the ambient humidity, the higher the humidity will
be inside the cellar
oFon Setting: By increasing the Fon setting, humidity can be increased inside the
cellar. The recommended range for the Fon setting is 2-6.
In order to increase or decrease humidity inside the cellar, the Fon setting can be changed
as described in the “Advanced Settings” section below.
