4 Product Features

Origins Wine Captain®

Models 1115WC, 1175WC

The Origins Wine Captain Models feature specially designed canted wine racks that allow for the proper horizontal storage of wine. The corks remain moist, which keeps air from entering the bottles. Model 1115WC will accommodate up to 24 bottles (750 mL size) and Model 1175WC will accommodate up to 48 bottles (750 mL size).

The Right Temperature for Wine

Your Wine Captain has been designed to provide three temperature zones within the cabinet so the specific storage requirements of your finest wines can be satisfied.

An electronic control panel with digital display allows you to display the interior temperature in each zone. The unit is shipped from the factory with a default temperature of 50°F. The controller only controls the temperature of the middle zone. This zone can be set from 45-54°F. The upper zone will be approximately 5- 6°F warmer and the lower zone will be approximately 5-6°F cooler than the middle zone. The electronic control and digital display provide an attractive appearance, and its method of control provides precise temperatures for storage of multiple types of wine.

An interior light will illuminate automatically as the door is opened, providing easy visual identification of the wine. However, you can easily select two other modes of operation:

a.The interior light can be illuminated continuously, for a four-hour period, while the door is closed, providing an attractive display of your wine collection.

b.A blackout/Sabbath mode (not Star K certified) allows you to darken both interior lights and the LED display, while maintaining complete temperature control in the unit.

The door features tinted thermal glass that protects your wines from potentially harmful light rays while providing a very fashionable appearance.

Wine racks have a maple front trim that adds a fashionable appearance to the Wine Captain. The wood facing may be stained with a WATER-based stain, or replaced in its entirety with other woods or manufactured products (such as Corian® or Sandstone).

Six sliding 3/4 extendable chrome wine racks provide easy access to all wine bottles.

All models feature a black vinyl clad steel cabinet that provides a rich textured look, and resists scratching, peeling and flaking. Black models are equipped with a field-reversible door frame with a top mount integrated handle that is easy to maintain.

Stainless steel units feature a wrapped stainless steel door frame and handle.

Wine Captain Models are not recommended for outdoor use.

Wine Captain Models installed in either a free-standing or built-in configuration must be anchored to prevent tipping, using the originally provided anti-tip kit.

Features and specifications are subject to change without notice.

Figure 5

Your Wine Captain has been designed to provide three temperature zones within the cabinet so the specific storage requirements of your finest wines can be satisfied.

The electronic control with digital display (Figure 5) is configured to show a single temperature continuously. This set-point temperature is a base number used by the controller to maintain the temperature zones in your unit. The factory default set-point is 50°F. This set-point temperature is used as a gauge if further temperature adjustments are required.

A DISPLAY OFF mode is available through the control panel. This mode allows you to control whether the display (Figure 5, 3) will be on or off whenever the door is closed. The button sequence that follows will switch between both modes:

1.Press and hold the WARMER button (Figure 5, 4), and within five seconds press the ON/OFF button (Figure 5, 2) three times.

2.The display will be either visible or dark when the door is closed.

3.To return to the previous mode, repeat Step 1.

Temperature Display Selection

U-Line products supplied for 110 VAC operation have temperatures displayed in a default Fahrenheit (°F) configuration (Figure 5, 3). Models supplied for 220 VAC operation have temperatures displayed in a default Celsius (°C) configuration.

The display can easily be adjusted for either type of temperature display. Press and hold the LIGHT button (Figure 5, 1) and within five seconds press the COOLER button (Figure 5, 5) three times to change the display as desired.

Temperature Display

To display all zone temperatures:

1.Press and hold the WARMER button (Figure 5, 4) for approximately five seconds and release when the °F symbol in the display (Figure 5, 3) begins to flash.

2.The display (Figure 5, 3) will scroll through three individual readings at two second intervals per temperature.

3.The °F symbol in the display will indicate the individual zone temperature being displayed as they are the scrolling.

The top horizontal bar in the symbol indicates the upper cabinet zone.

The middle horizontal bar in the symbol indicates the middle cabinet zone.

The bottom horizontal bar in the symbol indicates the lower cabinet zone.

4.After the third scroll cycle is completed, the display will return to the set-point temperature.

Checking Product Temperature

ULIN_0093_A

Normal Operating Sounds

All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. In spite of this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.

Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood/vinyl/tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.

Common refrigeration components, and a brief description of the normal operating sounds they make, are listed below. NOTE: Your product may not contain all of the components listed.

Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.

Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.

Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.

Automatic Defrost/Drain Pan: Water may be heard dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in the defrost cycle.

Wine Stocking Recommendations

Specially designed wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage of wine. The bottles are properly positioned so that the wine remains in contact with the cork to assure that the cork does not become dry.

Stock your unit as follows:

ULIN_0019_A

Figure 8

1.The wine racks should be stocked beginning with the lowest rack, at the back, and working forward. Stagger the bottles as shown (Figure 8).

2.Repeat Step 1 to stock the next higher rack, and continue until all racks are filled.

NOTE: After stocking, allow unit to run 24 hours to stabilize product temperatures.
