Le Cache Mission 2400 Provincial #886

When a collection has grown past the point where a wine cooler or closet conversion will do, the Mission 2400 is the kind of cabinet that answers the brief completely. Designed by Berkeley Mills — a respected Bay Area furniture studio — the Mission Series brings genuine arts & crafts proportions to a cabinet that also happens to maintain cellar-level temperature and humidity for long-term aging. In Provincial Cherry, the warm wood tones and hand-carved detailing read as furniture first, wine storage second, which matters when the cabinet is going into a dining room or a finished basement rather than a utility space.

The engineering behind it is serious. A CellarPro cooling unit handles both temperature and active humidity control — something wine coolers and standard refrigerators don't do — with a digital thermostat, audible and visual alarms, and Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and tinted double-pane glass protect against heat gain and UV. The SB/0™ top-vent exhaust lets the cabinet sit flush against a wall without clearance gaps, and the all-wood interlock racking accommodates oversized bottles without adapters. Total capacity is 286 bottles: 256 in racked slots sized at 3.8 inches, plus bulk space for roughly 30 more.

Best For

• Moving a 200–300 bottle collection out of a temperature-inconsistent closet or basement corner into a properly controlled environment
• Finishing a dining room or great room where the storage piece needs to hold its own aesthetically alongside actual furniture
• Building out a second home cellar where a full build-out isn't practical but serious aging conditions still matter
• Collectors accumulating large-format or oversized bottles that standard racking won't accommodate

• SB/0™ Technology (top-vent exhaust): Heat exits through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear, so the unit can sit flush against a wall with zero rear clearance. This matters if you're placing it in a dining room, finished basement or alcove where pulling the cabinet away from the wall is not practical.
• Active humidity management: The CellarPro unit controls both temperature and humidity independently. This is distinct from wine coolers and refrigerators, which regulate temperature only - leaving corks vulnerable to drying out over multi-year aging periods.
• Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: A higher-R-value rigid foam insulation that resists thermal transfer more effectively than standard foam. Combined with sealed seams and double-pane tinted glass, it reduces how hard the cooling unit has to work when ambient room temperatures rise.
• CellarPro cooling unit options: Choose between the 1800QT-HE and 1800XT-HE based on the room's thermal load. The 1800QT-HE is the quietest option. Review the Cooling Unit Selection Guide before ordering.
• Universal all-wood interlock racks with 3 3/4-inch slots: Accommodates standard Bordeaux bottles as well as wider Burgundy and Champagne formats without requiring separate rack inserts. Double-deep storage configuration; 256 racked slots plus approximately 30 bottles of bulk space.
• Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes: Quick-Chill is useful after restocking from a room-temperature delivery. Energy-Saver reduces compressor cycling during stable ambient conditions. Both modes are managed through the digital thermostat display.
• Audible and visual alarms notify you of temperature or humidity deviations - so problems are caught in real time rather than discovered during your next visit to the cabinet.
• Security locks on both doors; pewter pulls; low-heat interior LED lighting; 5-year warranty on the cooling unit and 2-year warranty on the cabinet.

Pairs Well With

• The optional bottle probe accessory measures temperature directly inside a bottle rather than ambient cabinet air - useful for collectors who want to confirm actual wine temperature before serving or who are monitoring aging conditions precisely.
• The optional extended warranty, which covers the cabinet beyond the standard 2-year term - worth considering given the weight and cost of moving or servicing a 415 lb unit.

PLACEMENT & VENTILATION

Before choosing a location for your Le Cache wine cabinet, make sure the installation meets the following requirements.

BASIC PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

• Power: Standard grounded outlet on a dedicated circuit
• Room Temperature: 50–95°F
• Floor: Hard, level surface capable of supporting the fully loaded cabinet
• Door Clearance: Allow approximately 1 inch of additional width in front of the cabinet for the doors to open 90°
• Ventilation: Requirements vary depending on the cabinet and cooling configuration

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

Proper ventilation is essential. The cooling unit exhausts warm air, which must be able to dissipate without being drawn back into the unit. Poor ventilation can prevent the cabinet from reaching the desired temperature and may cause the cooling unit to overheat or run continuously.

SUMMARY

1. UPRIGHT CABINET / TOP-VENTED

Our upright wine cabinets with top-vented cooling are designed so the cabinet can be placed directly against the rear wall.

Warm air exhausts through the top of the cabinet, while return air enters from above. Sufficient clearance above and around the cabinet is therefore required.

Minimum clearance above the cabinet:

• 18 inches: Contemporary, Carolina, Loft, Vault and Semi-Custom wine cabinets
• 12 inches: European Country, Mission and Gallery wine cabinets

Important: The sides of the cabinet must remain open so that warm air can dissipate. Top-vented upright cabinets should not be placed in a corner, enclosed space, alcove or closet unless a Front-Vent Hood is used.

2. UPRIGHT CABINET / REAR-VENTED

Upright wine cabinets can also be configured with rear-vented cooling, with return air entering from behind the cabinet. This configuration is useful when sufficient clearance above the cabinet is not available.

Requirements:

• The cabinet must be positioned 3–4 inches away from the rear wall.
• If the rear of the cabinet is not accessible, allow at least 7 1/2 inches above the cabinet so the cooling-unit air filter can be removed and replaced.
• If the rear of the cabinet is accessible, allow at least 3 inches above the cabinet for airflow. We also recommend an air deflector to direct warm exhaust air to the left of the cabinet.

Important: The sides of the cabinet must remain open. Rear-vented upright cabinets should not be placed in a corner, enclosed space, alcove or closet unless a Front-Vent Hood is used.

3. UPRIGHT CABINET / TOP-VENTED + FRONT-VENT HOOD

A Front-Vent Hood can be added to a top-vented upright cabinet when:

• The cabinet will be placed flush against the rear wall but does not have the required clearance above for a standard top-vented installation
• The cabinet will be installed in an alcove, closet or other enclosed space

Allow at least 7 1/2 inches above the cabinet for removal of the hood and air filter.

Compatibility:

• Contemporary, Loft and Vault: The Front-Vent Hood may be used with or without the decorative grille.
• European Country, Mission, Carolina and Gallery: The Front-Vent Hood may be used without the decorative grille. The grille will not fit with the crown moldings.

4. CREDENZA

Credenzas do not require clearance above the cabinet; however, because both intake and exhaust ventilation occur behind the cabinet, credenzas require 3–4 inches of clearance behind the cabinet, and the sides must remain open for proper ventilation.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. The power cord extends approximately 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet.

The outlet must be on a dedicated circuit. The cooling unit components draw 3 amps, and the electrical outlet on the side of the cooling unit is also rated for 3 amps.

Do not share the circuit with another motor- or compressor-driven appliance such as a refrigerator, wine cooler, air conditioner or garage door opener.

We recommend using a surge protector rated for at least 15 amps to protect the cooling unit from power surges.

If an extension cord is necessary, use a grounded cord with 14-gauge wire or heavier, and keep it as short as possible.

FLOOR & WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

A fully loaded wine cabinet is extremely heavy. Make sure the floor can support the combined weight of the cabinet and wine.

The cabinet should also be placed on a hard, level surface. On thick carpeting, the cabinet may settle unevenly over time, which can affect door alignment.

If installing on thick carpet, place a carpet board beneath the cabinet. You may purchase one from Le Cache or have a local hardware store cut a 3/4-inch plywood board to the width x depth of the cabinet.

DOOR SWING CLEARANCE

When opened to 90 degrees, the doors extend approximately 1 inch beyond the width of the cabinet.

For cabinets without moldings, allow for this additional space when planning the installation. The extra clearance is required in front of the cabinet for the doors to open fully.

Can the Le Cache Mission 2400 be placed flush against a wall, or does it need clearance behind it?

A: The Mission 2400 uses SB/0™ Technology with a top-vent exhaust system, which means it can be positioned flush against the wall with no rear clearance required. Heat is expelled upward through the top of the cabinet rather than out the back, making it well-suited for alcoves, between built-ins or against any flat wall without sacrificing cooling performance.

How many bottles does it actually hold, and will oversized formats like Burgundy or Champagne bottles fit in the racks?

A: Total capacity is 286 bottles — 256 in racked slots spaced at 3.8 inches each and approximately 30 bottles in bulk storage. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design specifically accommodating oversized bottles, so heavier Burgundy-shaped and Champagne formats fit without modification. The double-deep storage configuration also means you can stage bottles efficiently by region or drinking window.

Does this cabinet actively manage humidity, or just temperature?

A: It manages both. The CellarPro cooling unit includes adjustable humidity control alongside an electronic thermostat and digital display. This is the critical distinction between a wine cabinet built for long-term aging and a standard wine cooler or refrigerator — coolers and refrigerators cycle humidity out as part of normal refrigeration, which dries corks over time. The Mission 2400 is engineered to hold both temperature and humidity at cellar conditions.

What are the electrical requirements, and which cooling unit option should I choose?

A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz — standard household current, no dedicated circuit required for most installations. Three CellarPro cooling units are available: the 1800QTL-ECX (2.4A running / 14.2A startup), the 1800QT-ECX (2.9A running / 20.1A startup) and the 1800XT-ECX (3.0A running / 20.1A startup). The right unit depends on the ambient temperature of the room where the cabinet will live — warmer rooms require more cooling capacity. Le Cache provides a Thermal Load Calculation guide to help match the unit to your specific placement conditions.

What does the warranty cover, and for how long?

A: The cabinet carries a 2-year warranty on the entire cabinet and a 5-year warranty on the CellarPro cooling system. An optional extended warranty is also available if you want coverage beyond those terms. The cooling unit is manufactured in the USA.

How loud is the Mission 2400 in a living space like a dining room or study?

A: The Mission 2400 ships with the latest generation CellarPro cooling units, which Le Cache describes as the most advanced and quietest units available for their cabinets. Sound performance data by unit model is available through the Cooling Unit Sound Performance resource linked in the product documentation, which gives measured decibel levels under operating conditions — useful if you are placing this cabinet in a room where ambient noise matters.
