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. The U-Line

Wine Selections Su g gestions

Suggestions for 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. Full­flavored foods should be matched with fuller-bodied
wines.

As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and
quality of wines served.

Table 1

Serve a: Before a:

DRY wine SWEET wine
WHITE wine RED wine
YOUNG wine OLD wine
LIGHT-BODIED wine FULL-BODIED wine

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 adve ntur ous. Do not view the subject of wine
so seriously it discourages you fr om learning and
discovering for fe ar 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. In many
instances 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 prod uc t .

Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine is
tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine’s
subtle qualities may be missed.

Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from
U-Line Corpor ati on ( P/N 1733 48). C om pa rable 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.

• Clean any glass su rfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.

• Do not use cleaners that are not s pecifically
intended for stainless steel on stainless surfaces
(this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).

• If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser®
and a non- abrasive c loth. 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.

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

• Rust that is not cleaned up promptly can penetrate into
the surfa ce o f t he s ta i nless steel and comp l et e r emo v al
of the rust may not be possible.

• Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transmit
taste to the interior products and damage or
discol or the interior.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance of your U-Line product will ensure
efficiency, top performance and long lif e. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal
conditions. You may want t o shorten the intervals if you
have pets or other special consideration s.

Defrosting

Automatic (Cycle) Defrost Models

Automa tic de f ro s t mo de l s do not pro d u c e fr os t in normal
operating conditions. However, a frost pattern may be
noticed on the interior walls if the unit is repeatedly
opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this
frost pattern does not clear with in 24 hours, your unit will
require manual defrosting.

WARNING

DO NOT u s e any type of ele c trical heating de vice,
ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to
defrost; this could damage the inner lining or
refrigeration system and void the warranty.

IMPORTANTIMPORTANT

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 (Figure
10, 1), before defrosting.

To insert a rack in the cabinet:

1. Align the left and right rack channels with the tracks
in the cabinet, and ensuring an even track
engagement on both sides, gently push the rack into
the cabinet until it stops.

2. Before reloading the rack, ensure proper operation of
the travel stops in the left and right track rails by
pulling the rack out gently unti l it completely stops.

Interior components of your U-Line unit are equipped
with a natural wood trim for appearance and durability.
Although this wood trim has b een coated with a clear
sealer at the factory, it is recommended that the trim be
stained (if desired), and receive a final finish coating prior
to the unit going into full-time service.

WARNING

To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner
of your unit, the wood trim MUST be removed
from the unit for staining and/or finishing. Allow
stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hou rs
per coat) in accordance with the product
manufacturer’s instructions prior to
reinstallation. Failure to do so may cause the
inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor,
which is not covered by the warranty.

If staining the trim is desired, it must be done before the
application of any type of final finish. Review the
following staining/final finish and fina l finish-only
guidelines when staining/ and or sealing the wood to
ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.

NOTE: Glass in door is ti nted. Stain may look darker
when door is closed.

Staining and final fi nish appl ic ati on :

1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior
components, and remove the trim from the cabinet
interior.

NOTE: Your model may contain an el ectronic display
panel in the lowest level trim piece. After removing the
trim screws, and gently pu lling the trim from its location,
a wiring harness connector will become visible. Unplug
the connector, and remove the trim from the interior.

IMPORTANTIMPORTANT

DO NOT use oil-based sta in s on wood trim. Vapors
from oil-based stains will permanently penetrate
the liner and will not dissipate over time.

2. Apply Minwax® Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with
a synthetic bristle brush or a foam applicator. Allow
stain to penetrate approximately three minutes. Before
the stain is dry, take a stain dampened rag and remove
any excess stain remaining. Wipe in the direction of the
grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain
color.

3. After two hours, repeat step 2. This will even out the
color of the wood.

4. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before
applying the final finish.

5. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to
smooth the surface after the staining process.

1115R, 1175 R, 29R, 1175BEV 23

6. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of
Minwax
bristle brush to the wood. This finish should be applied
in a thin coat following the direction of the grain.
Apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood first,
and allow it to dry for two hours. Apply the finish to the
front side of the wood next, and allow it to dry for two
hours. Sand with very fine 220 grit sandpaper. Apply
two addition coats of the finish in the same manner , but
do not sand the trim after the final third coat is appli ed.

7. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.

Final finish-only application:

1. Remove all screws securin g wood trim to interior
components, and remove the trim.

2. Lightly scruff sand the wood trim with 280 or finer grit
sandpaper.

3. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cl oth.

4. The factory-applied seal is compatible with virtually all
finishes. A low odor, water clean up, quick-drying finish
such as Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish is
recommended (Minwax® Polycrylic® is an ultra fast­drying water-based finish). Apply a thin coat of a clear,
protective finish, following the container label
directions.

5. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

6. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.
