Inspect and Plan

You have received a carton containing your 1075WC Wine
Captain with a package inside containing a Use and 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 and Care Guide and this Installation Guide in a
safe place for future reference.

1075WC units have a black, vinyl-clad cabinet, a stainless
steel door, tinted glass door, a straight, vertical brushed
aluminum handle and a black grille. They are ordered left­or right-hinged and the door is not reversible. 1075WC
units come with six maple trim wine racks that can be
finished or stained. They have anti-tip brackets for
freestanding installations.

Please carefully follow the directions that apply to your
unit and your intended design.

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.

INSPECTION

Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface
capable of supporting its entire weight.

EXTERIOR CLEANING

(As Required)

Black Surfaces:

• 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 Surfaces:

• 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.

Prepare The 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.
