INSTALLATION TIP

If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cutout

opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit rear

height of 1/8" (3 mm) less than the opening’s rear height.

Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front

legs. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the

opening. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is

correctly positioned in the opening.

LOOKING BEHIND THE LABEL

To most, wine is a delicious mystery. We purchase it,

uncork it, and savor its taste and beauty. But there is so

much more to true wine appreciation. Many secrets are

simply too good to keep bottled up.

WINE SELECTIONS SUGGESTIONS

Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can

sometimes be a seemingly awkward or difficult task for

the beginning wine enthusiast. We would therefore like to

present you with a few suggestions which may provide a

little more confidence and enjoyment when choosing and

serving your wines.

When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do not be

afraid to be adventurous. Do not view the subject of wine

so seriously it discourages you from learning and

discovering for fear of embarrassment if something is

incorrect. Wine is best viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.

When assembling your collection, try not to become

obsessed with “Vintages.” Although a chart can be a useful

tool, generalizations about a specific year have led more

than one collector to disappointment. Often an “Off Year”

will provide a better value and more drinking enjoyment.

The primary guideline to the subject of wine is your own

palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment,

discover, but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new U-

Line product.

Matching Food and Wine

Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to

food, observe some guidelines. Delicate dishes should be

accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full-flavored

foods should be matched with fuller-bodied wines.

As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and

quality of wines served.

Serve a: Before a:

A Toast to Wine Truths

Like the grapes themselves, many wine myths have been

cultivated over the centuries.

Myth 1: Most wines taste better when aged.

Truth: In fact, less than 5% of wines produced today are

meant to be aged. Most wines are crafted to be consumed

within the first one to two years.

Myth 2: Wines should be uncorked and decanted allowing

them to “breathe.”

Truth: To breathe or not breathe? While it is better to

allow a young tannic Red to breathe in a glass or decanter

to soften the tannins, an old Red reaches a stage in its life

where it should be enjoyed soon after opening. Allow an

old Red to breathe for a short time to dissipate any off

odors. Most white wines can be served, ideally, 10-15

minutes after opening.

The Cork: A Mystery on Its Own

Cork Presentation. The ritual of the presentation of the

cork has a rich and fascinating history dating back to the

late 1800’s. A phylloxera (root louse) devastation to the

vineyards severely limited the supply of great wines.

Restaurateurs would remove labels on inferior wines and

replace them with labels from superior wines. This made it

necessary for patrons to protect themselves by checking

the branding on the cork to ensure that what they ordered

was, in fact, what they were served.

When presented with a cork today, feel it to check for its

integrity, read and match the branding on the cork to the

bottle and set it aside. There is little to be learned from

the cork. The proof is in the wine.

“Corked” wines. If you’ve ever had a wine that smelled or

tasted of mold, you’ve experienced a wine that may have

been “corked.” Today, between five and eight percent of

wines are tainted with Trichloroanisole (TCA). This

substance, found naturally in plants and trees, is imparted

to the wine through the cork. Corked wines are a major

concern for winemakers as it destroys millions of cases

per year and puts reputations at stake. Amazing as it may

seem twist-off caps may offer a better alternative and

many great wineries in California, Australia and New

Zealand are pioneering the trend.

Myth 3: When age worthy wines peak, they must be

consumed almost immediately.

Truth: Most great wines reach a plateau period rather

than a peak. Great Bordeaux’s may have as much as a

10-year plateau before fading.

Myth 4: Wine color does not change with aging.

Truth: As red wines age they get lighter in color while

whites get darker.

Common Tasting Terms IDEAL WINE STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS

Terminology Description

Acidity A critical element of wine that is responsible

for preserving the wines freshness. Excess acidity results in an overly tart and sour wine.

Balance A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity

are in total harmony. Wines with good balance tend to age gracefully.

Body The weight and presence of wine in the

mouth provided by the alcohol and tannin level. Full-bodied wines tend to have this strong concentration.

Bouquet The blending of a wine’s aroma within the

bottle over a period of time, caused by volatile acidity.

Complex A subjective term often used in tasting. A

wine is said to be complex if it offers a variety of flavors and scents that continue to evolve as it develops.

Flabby A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to

the taste, lacks acidity.

Full-Bodied Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally

speaking, fills the mouth, powerful.

Lean Generally describes wines that are slim,

lacking of generosity or thin.

Oaky A desirable flavor imparted to wine if done in

moderation. Most wines are aged in oak barrels one to three years, thereby receiving this toasty oak characteristic. However, if a weak wine is left in contact too long with an oak barrel it will tend to be overpowered with an oaky taste.

Tannin Tannins are extracted from the grape skins

and stems and are necessary for a well- balanced red wine. Tannins are easily identified in wine tasting as the drying sensation over the gums. Tannins generally fade as a wine ages.

Temperature: The most important element about

storage temperature is stability. If wine is kept in a stable

environment between 40°F (7°C) and 65°F (21°C), it will

remain sound. A small 1-2 degree temperature fluctuation

within a stable environment is acceptable. Larger

temperature fluctuations can affect the corks ability to

seal, allowing the wine to “leak” from the bottle.

Humidity: The traditional view on humidity maintains

that wines should be stored on their sides in 50% - 80%

relative humidity to ensure cork moisture and proper fit in

the bottle. Contemporary wisdom suggests that the cork

surface is too small to be impacted by humidity. Further

the cork is sealed with a metal or wax capsule making

humidity penetration impossible. The concept of a humid

storage environment was derived from the necessity of

wineries to maintain moisture in their cellars to keep

wooden barrel staves swollen, preventing wine

evaporation and product loss. In fact, vineyards estimate

as much as a 10% product loss per year due to

evaporation while wine is aging in the wooden barrels.

Humidity, however, was not intended for the modern

home cellar where wine is stored in glass bottles with

sealed corks.

Light: UV rays are not only harmful to people, they are

damaging to wines - especially those in clear bottles.

Since oxygen molecules in wine absorb UV rays, wine

should never be stored in direct light for long periods of

time.

Vibration: Provided that sediment is left undistributed

and particles are not suspended, vibration in a storage

environment is not an issue. Wines can become flat or

tired when voids and vacuums are created inside the wine

bottle. In order to create voids and vacuums within a

liquid, aggressive motion or shaking of the wine bottle

would have to occur.

Cleaning

EXTERIOR CLEANING

Vinyl Clad (Black or White)

Clean surfaces 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.

Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass

cleaner.

Stainless Models

Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor

when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater

or cleaners with bleach.

Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a

good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish

monthly. For best results use Claire

Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line

Corporation (Part Number 173348). Comparable products

are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface

contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations

may require cleaning weekly.

Stainless Steel

If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it

quickly with Bon-Ami

and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain.

Always finish with Claire

Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further

problems.

Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will cause the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred.

Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.

Integrated Models

To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the

cabinet manufacturer’s recommendation.

INTERIOR CLEANING

Disconnect power to the unit.

Clean the interior and all removed components using a

mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution

applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.

or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser®

Stainless Steel Polish and

Do not clean with steel wool pads.

Do not use stainless steel cleaners polishes on any glass surfaces.

Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass

cleaner.

Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).

Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.

Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive

cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste to

the interior products and damage or discolor the interior.

DEFROSTING

Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual

defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through

the evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during

each off cycle.

If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6 mm) or more,

manually defrost the unit.

Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.

DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp

instrument to help speed up defrosting. These

instruments can puncture the inner lining or

damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use any type of

heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up

defrosting can cause personal injury and

damage to the inner lining.

The drain pan was not designed to capture the

water created when manually defrosting. To

prevent water from overflowing the drain pan,

place towels or other absorbent materials over

the interior drain trough (under the evaporator)

before defrosting.

To defrost:

1. Disconnect power to the unit.

2. Remove all products from the interior.

3. Prop the door in an open position (2 in. [50 mm]

These temperature controls are double throw, single pole

controls. The sensing tube is inserted into the ice maker

mold and senses mold temperature. After ice is sensed in

the mold, the 2-3 contacts open (stopping the

compressor) and the 2-1 contacts are closed (starting the

ice maker motor). The 2-3 contacts close (2-1 contacts

open) before the end of the ice harvest cycle.The hold

switch prevents power going back to the compressor. This

prepares the control for the next cycle.

1. VIEWING ACTUAL TEMPERATURE

In viewing temperature in these modes any offsets are taken into account. This means that if you place a thermistor in a known temperature, let’s say ice water, it may not read the 32°F that you would assume. If the control offset was preset at -3°F while you placed the thermistor in an icebath, the actual thermistor rea ding when viewing actual temperature would read 35°F. In the unit this would cause the cabinet to push itself 3° cooler. To view pure thermistor readings you must go into the service menu and choose the correct option.

To view the thermistor temperature, push and release the up and down keys. The display will show the corrected refrigerator temperature.

SHOWROOM MODE

This mode is designed to show units in a display environment. When in this mode the only functions will be the control and cabinet lights. The compressor , fans, etc. will not operate. To enter this mode hold the light key and the power key for 5 seconds. The display will flash once and beep and the degree symbol will begin to flash. When the degree symbol is flashing the unit will allow the use of the control for demonstrations. The unit can be left in this mode indefinitely. To exit this mode, interrupt power to the unit.

SERVICE MODE

This mode has 28 different options available for service diagnostics. To enter the mode hold the hidden key for 10 seconds. The display will show “0.” When in this mode use the up and down arrows to select the desired option. The LIGHT key is the ENTER key and will enter a function. If changing a setting, you must press the LIGHT key again to retain the changed setting. To exit the service mode scroll to option “0” and press the LIGHT key. After five minutes of not touching any keys the mode will also exit automatically.

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.

Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a

resistance which varies based on surrounding

temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may

be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistors

If the zone thermistor in the unit fails the unit will continue

to cool in a back up mode to preserve the integrity of the

contents. The unit will cycle on for ten minutes, then shut

down for forty five minutes. The process will repeat until

the problem is corrected. All other functions of the unit

will continue to operate normally

Evaporator Thermistors

If an evaporator thermistor fails the unit will rely on a

preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will

otherwise operate normally. The error will be displayed in

the service mode “Error Log.”

This unit has two thermistors. Thermistor one is located

along the right hand side wall inside of the unit and is used

to maintain temperature within the unit.

Thermistor two is located on the back of the evaporator

and is used for defrost purposes.

Nominal Resistance

(OHMS)*

Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor

connection that has become corroded can cause

resistance values from the thermistor to change as they

pass through a dirty connection to the board.

It is for that reason that we apply die electric grease to all

of our thermistor connections. Die electric grease will help

to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply die

electric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty

thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor

and the thermistor harness.
