Le Cache Wine Cabinets - Placement Requirements
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.
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 # (All Series) Length Width
1400
26.5 25
2400 35 25
3100 45 25
3800 54 25
5200 69.5 25
Euro Credenza 63 25
Contemporary Credenza 61 17
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.
