IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
U-Line recommends a set temperature of 38°F on all
refrigerators.
To check the actual product temperature in your unit,
insert an accurate thermometer into a plastic (nonbreakable) bottle that is partially filled with water.
Tighten the bottle cap securely (Figure 6).
Place the bottle in the desired area for 24 hours. Refrain
from opening the unit during the testing period. After 24
hours, check the temper ature of the water. If required,
adjust the temperature control in a small increment (See
ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE).
Factors which affect the internal temperatures of the
cabinet include:
• Temperature setting.
• Ambient temperature where installed.
• The number of times and length of time a door is
opened and closed.
• The amount of time the internal light is illuminated.
(This affects primar ily product on top rack or shelf.)
• Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Temperature Display
To display actual temperature:
1. Press the WARMER button (Fi gure 5, 4) for five
seconds. T he dis p la y (Figure 5, 3) will indicate the
actual temperature.
2. After approximately 10 seconds, the set point

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 suc h as
cabinets, wood/viny l/tiled f loor s and p aneled walls have a
tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Common refrigerati on components, and a brief
description of the normal operating sounds t hey 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
