Complete and mail the Product Registration Card or register online at www.U-LineService.com. Once your unit is installed, keep the Use and Care Guide and this Installation Guide in a safe place for future reference. 2175WC units are Black or Stainless Steel. Black units have a reversible door with a slightly contoured handle across the top. Stainless Steel units are covered with a protective coating and have been ordered left- or right-hand hinged. The Stainless doors are not reversible. 2175WCOL units are Black with an unattached door that requires the construction of a 3/4-inch thick wood overlay frame. You must determine left- or right-hand opening before construction. All units come with maple trim wine racks that can be finished or stained. 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 · Sandpaper; low odor, water clean up, quick drying finish; tack cloth and, if desired, water-based wood stain and synthetic foam brush · 3/4-inch overlay frame material, cutting tools, drill and bits (2175WCOL units) 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. 06/2006 3 www.U-LineService.com 2175WC/2175WCOL Wine Captain® 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 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.

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. · 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. www.U-LineService.com 6 06/2006 2175WC/2175WCOL Wine Captain® Side-By-Side Installation Instructions For a complete refreshment center, install your 2175WC or 2175WCOL unit beside a U-Line Refrigerator, Ice Maker or Combo 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 2175 Wine Captain® next to a 2115 series unit would require a cut-out width of: 24-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 39-3/8" Placing a 2175 Wine Captain® 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.
