WARNING Warning means that failure to follow this safety statement could result in serious personal injury, or death. CAUTION Caution means that failure to follow this safety statement may result in minor or moderate personal injury, property or equipment damage. www.U-LineService.com 2 08/2006 2175R Refrigerator and 2175RF Refrigerator/Freezer General Precautions Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and follow these general precautions along with those listed throughout this guide: 2 Inspect and Plan You have received a carton containing your 2175R Refrigerator or 2175RF Refrigerator/Freezer with a package inside containing a Use & Care Guide and a Product Registration Card. Complete and mail the Product Registration Card or register online at www.U-LineService.com. Once your unit is installed, keep the Use & Care Guide and this Installation Guide in a safe place for future reference. Your unit is Black, White or Stainless Steel. Black and White units have a reversible door with a slightly contoured handle across the top. They come with a flush mounted door panel that, when removed, will accept a custom 1/4-inch thick door panel or a 3/4-inch thick full overlay door panel. Stainless Steel units are covered with a protective coating and have been ordered left- or righthand hinged. The Stainless doors are not reversible and do not accept custom panels. Please carefully follow the directions that apply to your unit and your intended design. WARNING SHOCK HAZARD -- Electrical Grounding Required. · Keep the unit unplugged throughout installation except during testing. · Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a two-prong grounding adapter. · Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit. · Always keep your working area dry. CAUTION · Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp edges. · Do not lift the unit by the door or door handle. · Do not install the unit behind closed doors or in any way that would obstruct airflow to the front grille, which may cause the unit to malfunction. Tools/Materials Required · Screwdrivers -- slotted and Phillips head · 1/4-inch thick door panel material and cutting tools (Black or White units) (If installing a 1/4" Panel Insert) · Full Overlay Door Panel Kit (part number U-OL2175B -- Black or part number U-OL2175W -- White), 3/4-inch door panel overlay, cutting tools, drill and bits (Black or White units) (If installing a 3/4" Full Overlay) Inspection Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface capable of supporting its entire weight. Removing Protective Coating (Stainless Steel Units Only) When inspecting/installing a Stainless Steel unit, the protective coating covering the unit must be removed first. Start at a corner of the unit/door and pull back the protective coating to remove it from the unit/door. 08/2006 3 www.U-LineService.com 2175R Refrigerator and 2175RF Refrigerator/Freezer After all the protective coating has been removed from the unit/door, clean all Stainless Steel surfaces with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product or a mild detergent and warm water solution and soft cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning agents. Note: If cleaning with mild detergent and warm water solution and soft cloth, the unit MUST be treated with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent discoloration. 3 Prepare Site Your U-Line product has been designed for either freestanding or built-in installation. When built-in, your unit does not require additional air space for top, sides or rear. However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed and clearance is required for electrical connection in the rear. Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet door. Exterior Cleaning (As Required) Black and White Models: · The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting. Stainless Steel Models: · Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach. · Keep your stainless steel unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/ polish on a monthly basis. For best results use Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation. (The part number is 173348.) Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning on a weekly basis. · Do not clean with steel wool pads. · Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended for stainless steel (this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners). · If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further problems. · Use of abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite will cause the graining in the stainless to become blurred. · Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible. Cut-Out Dimensions 23-1/4" 7" 1-1/2" 24-3/16" Figure 1 Follow the cut-out drawing in Figure 1. The 24-3/16" width allows 1/4" for ease in installation and removal of the unit. 24" is the cabinet depth in most installations. The unit is 23-1/4" deep including the handle on Black and White models and 23-1/4" deep including the door and not the handle on Stainless Steel models (see Figure 2). www.U-LineService.com 4 08/2006 2175R Refrigerator and 2175RF Refrigerator/Freezer Product Dimensions 23-1/4" Including Handle 25-3/8" Including Handle Reversing the Door (Black and White Units Only) All U-Line units (except Stainless Steel models) may be left- or right-hand opening. The door opening is easily reversed by moving the hinge hardware to the opposite side.

Door Swing/Clearances Information Black and White units have a zero clearance for the door to open 90° (see Figure 3). Stainless Steel models require a minimum of 2-1/8" door clearance to accommodate the handle if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar type of structure. 1. Remove top hinge screw pin from door (Phillips Figure 4 screwdriver) (see Figure 5). Remove door by tilting forward and lifting off bottom hinge pin. ULIN_0015_A 2.

Other Site Requirements Power Supply The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). See Electrical Specifications on Page 13. Environmental Requirements Many U-Line models are designed to operate in harsh outdoor/marine environments. Special considerations include the following: · The units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and 110°F (40°C). High ambient temperatures (110°F [40°C] or higher) may reduce the unit's ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice production rate for those models with icemakers. · If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty. · For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat generating equipment. · For best performance and life outdoors, place under a counter or provide shelter of some kind. · In climates where high humidity and dew points are present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces. This is considered normal. The condensation will disappear when the humidity drops. Figure 9 www.U-LineService.com 6 08/2006 2175R Refrigerator and 2175RF Refrigerator/Freezer Side-By-Side Installation Instructions For a complete refreshment center, install your 2175R or 2175RF Model beside a U-Line Ice Maker, Combo or Wine Captain Model (see Figure 11 for typical cut-out). Note that each Side-By-Side Installation will be different. · Cut-out width for a side-by-side installation is the total of the widths listed under Cut-Out Dimensions in each unit's Installation Guide. For example: Placing a 2175R or 2175RF next to a 2115 series unit would require a cut-out width of: 24-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 39-3/8" Placing a 2175R or 2175RF next to a 2175 series unit would require a cut-out width of: 24-3/16" + 24-3/16" = 48-3/8" · No trim kit is required. However, 1/4-inch space needs to be maintained between the units to ensure unobstructed door swing. · Units must operate from separate, proper ...
