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 (1115R Black units)(If installing a 1/4" Panel) Inspection Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface capable of supporting its entire weight. 07/2006 3 www.U-LineService.com 1115R and 1115WC Models Exterior Cleaning (As Required) Black Models: · Black surfaces 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 Models: · Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach. · Clean any glass door fronts with a non-chlorine glass cleaner. · Keep your Stainless 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 stainless steel cleaners/polishes on any glass surfaces. · Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless surfaces (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. 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.

Special considerations include the following: (1115R REFRIGERATOR requirements) · 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. Figure 10 ULIN_0144_A · 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. 10. Remove three plastic screw plugs (Figure 10) from hinge holes, top of cabinet, opposite side. Be careful not to scratch cabinet. 11. Place door on lower hinge pin. Invert and install upper hinge on door. (1115WC WINE CAPTAIN® requirements) · 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. · For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat generating equipment. · 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. · U-Line does not recommend installation of glass front models (Wine Captain® wine storage models and Beverage Centers) as well as the Combo Drawer model (Refrigerator/ Freezer/Ice Maker) outdoors, or in tropical climates where high humidity and dew point are present on a regular basis, unless air-conditioning (typical 72°F, 75%RH) will be used.
