Le Cache Contemp Credenza Provincial #882

NOW WITH THE MOST ADVANCED AND QUIETEST COOLING UNITS FROM CELLARPRO!
Clean and elegant styling provides the inspiration for our single-deep Contemporary Series credenzas.

Total Capacity: 115 bottles
Size: 73w x 23d x 38 1/2h (in)

The Contemporary Credenza in Provincial Cherry is built for collectors who want serious long-term storage where they actually live. At 73 inches wide and just 23 inches deep, it sits flush against a dining room wall or along a hallway without projecting into the space, and at credenza height it functions as a surface as much as a cabinet. The warm Cherry finish and gently arched hardwood doors read as furniture first — the CellarPro cooling unit and tinted double-pane glass are doing real work behind the scenes.

What separates a cabinet like this from a wine cooler is the full environmental system inside. CellarPro’s US-made cooling unit manages both temperature and humidity digitally, with adjustable humidity control, energy-saver and quick-chill modes, and audible and visual alarms if conditions drift. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams hold the environment steady even in a room with fluctuating ambient temperatures. The 93 racked slots use 3.8-inch all-wood interlock racks that accommodate oversized bottles — Burgundy and Champagne formats included — with additional bulk space for roughly 22 more bottles. A rear-vent exhaust requires just 3 to 4 inches of wall clearance, making placement practical in finished rooms.

What These Specs Mean

• Running vs. Startup Amps: Startup amperage across all three cooling unit options runs significantly higher than the running draw — plan for a dedicated 20-amp circuit to handle the compressor's peak load at ignition.
• Cooling Unit Variants (QTL, QT, XT): Three CellarPro 1800-series compressor configurations are available for this cabinet; which one is appropriate depends on your room's ambient temperature and thermal load — use the Thermal Load Calculations link to determine the correct fit before ordering.

PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

POWER REQUIREMENT:
The power cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible.

The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. We recommend adding a surge protector, rated at 15 amps or more (for example, click here), to protect the cooling unit from power surges.

The outlet must be on a dedicated circuit. 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 cooling unit should not, under any circumstances, share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge, air conditioner, or garage opener.

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: 45w x 25d (inches).

DOOR SWING CLEARANCE
The doors of our wine cabinets swing wide by approximately 1 inch when open at 90 degrees. The additional width should be accounted for when purchasing cabinets that do not have moldings because the stated widths of our wine cabinets do not account for the door swing. Please note that the additional width is required in front of the cabinet.

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.

TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS
CellarPro cooling units are designed to handle temperatures ranging from 50 to 95F.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The cooling unit generates hot air that must be exhausted in such a way that it won't be recirculated by the cooling unit. If the hot air cannot be dissipated or channeled properly, and the cooling unit is forced to recycle its own hot air, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain cold temperatures inside the wine cabinet and/or will overheat and/or will run all the time. Proper ventilation can be achieved in one of three ways:

• 1. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH TOP-VENT CONFIGURATIONS
  Our upright wine cabinets have been engineered with top-vent cooling units and SB/0 Technology so that they can be placed right up against the wall. In this configuration, the hot air generated by the cooling unit is ventilated through the top of the wine cabinet, and the return air comes from above the wine cabinet, so there must be clearance above and to the sides of the cabinets for the hot air to dissipate, as follows:
• Contemporary wine cabinets, Carolina wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets, Vault wine cabinets and a Semi-Custom wine cabinets require 18 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
• European Country wine cabinets and Mission wine cabinets require 12 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
• The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).

• 2. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH Rear-Vent Configurations
  Our upright wine cabinets can be configured so that the return air comes from behind the wine cabinet. This configuration is useful in situations where sufficient clearance around the wine cabinet doesn't exist. In this configuration:
• If the rear of the wine cabinet is not accessible, a minimum clearance of 7 1/2 inches above the wine cabinet is required for removal and replacement of the cooling unit air filter.
• If the rear of the wine cabinet is accessible, a minimum clearance of 3 inches above the wine cabinet is required for proper airflow, and we recommend using our air deflector to direct the hot air exhaust to the left of the wine cabinet.
• In all cases, the wine cabinet must be placed 3-4 inches away from the rear wall.
• The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).

• 3. UPRIGHT CABINETS with Front-Vent Hoods
  If you want to place the wine cabinet flush against the wall but you don't have the required clearance (as outlined in Configuration 1 above), or you want to place the wine cabinet in an enclosed space, closet, or alcove, our front-vent hood (placed on top of the wine cabinet) can be used with 7 1/2 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet for removal of the hood and the air filter. Please note:
• Contemporary wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets and Vault wine cabinets can use our front vent hood with OR without the decorative grill.
• European Country wine cabinets, Mission wine cabinets and Carolina wine cabinets can use our front vent hood without the decorative grill (the decorative grill will not fit with crown moldings).

4. CREDENZA WINE CABINETS
Credenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4 inches of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.

Is the Le Cache Contemp Credenza #882 freestanding or can it be recessed into cabinetry like a built-in?

A: This cabinet is freestanding only. It uses a rear-vent exhaust system that requires 3–4 inches of clearance behind the unit for airflow. It cannot be fully recessed into a wall or built into cabinetry without compromising the cooling system. Plan placement accordingly — against a wall with adequate rear clearance is the correct installation.

What is the actual bottle capacity, and will it accommodate larger-format bottles like Burgundy or Rhone bottles with wider shoulders?

A: Total rated capacity is 115 bottles: 93 racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing and approximately 22 bottles in bulk stacked storage. The all-wood interlock racks are designed to universal dimensions that accommodate oversized bottles, including wider Burgundy and Pinot Noir formats. Actual count with a mixed collection of large-shouldered bottles will be closer to the lower end of the racked figure.

What are the electrical requirements, and can this run on a standard household outlet?

A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz, which is a standard US household circuit. Running amperage depends on which CellarPro unit is installed: the 1800QTL-ECX draws 2.4 amps running (14.2 amps startup), the 1800QT-ECX draws 2.9 amps running (20.1 amps startup) and the 1800XT-ECX draws 3.0 amps running (20.1 amps startup). A dedicated 20-amp circuit is advisable given the high startup amp draw, particularly for the QT and XT models.

How does a Le Cache wine cabinet differ from a standard wine cooler or refrigerator for long-term aging?

A: Standard wine coolers and refrigerators control temperature but do not manage humidity, which causes corks to dry out over time and allows oxidation — making them unsuitable for long-term aging. The Le Cache #882 maintains both temperature and humidity conditions through an adjustable humidity control system paired with foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass for thermal and UV protection. These are the conditions required for cellaring fine Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa Cabernet or Rhône over multi-year periods.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

A: The cabinet carries a 2-year warranty on the entire unit and a separate 5-year warranty specifically on the CellarPro cooling system. An optional extended warranty is also available for purchase. The cooling unit being made in the USA and warranted independently for five years is meaningful for a cabinet at this price point, since the refrigeration component is typically the highest-risk part over time.

What are the external dimensions and weight — will this fit through a standard doorway and onto a wood floor without support concerns?

A: The cabinet measures 73 inches wide x 23 inches deep x 38.5 inches tall and weighs 400 lbs. At 73 inches wide it will not pass through a standard 32–36 inch doorway as a single piece — confirm your delivery path and doorway widths before ordering. At 400 lbs the floor load is manageable on standard residential construction, but verify with your contractor if placing on an upper floor or over a crawl space.
