WARNING

!

SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding

Required. Never attempt to repair or perform

maintenance on the unit until the electricity has

been disconnected.

Never remove the round grounding prong from

the plug and never use a two-prong grounding

adapter.

Altering, cutting or removing power cord,

removing power plug, or direct wiring can cause

serious injury, fire, loss of property and/or life,

and will void the warranty.

Never use an extension cord to connect power to

the unit.

Always keep your working area dry.

Electrical installation must observe all state and

local codes. This unit requires connection to a

grounded (three-prong), polarized receptacle

that has been placed by a qualified electrician.

The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,

60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current). An

individual, properly grounded branch circuit or circuit

breaker is recommended. A GFCI (ground fault circuit

interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location

appliances and is not recommended for your unit because

it could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure

to consult your local codes.

See CUTOUT DIMENSIONS for recommended receptacle

location.

2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to

entangle the cord.

3. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to

side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top

surface should be approximately 1/8" (3 mm) below

the countertop.

4. Remove the interior packing material and wipe out the

inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.

3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and

repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.

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.

You MUST remove the wood trim from the unit

for staining or finishing to prevent permanent

damage to the inner liner of the unit. Allow stain

or finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours for

each coat) following the product manufacturer’s

instructions before reinstallation. Not following

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:

DRY wine SWEET wine

WHITE wine RED wine

YOUNG wine OLD wine

LIGHT-BODIED wine FULL-BODIED wine

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.

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.

CAUTION

!

Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance

on the unit until the main electrical power has

been disconnected from the unit.

SPECIFIC ERRORS AND ISSUES

The technically advanced diagnostic capabilities of the

electronic controls utilized on the 1200 and 2200 series

units allows for easy and thorough troubleshooting.

Navigation of the control is the key and is explained in the

CONTROL OPERATION section of the manual, along with

control button layout, control function descriptions, a

service mode menu and service menu selection

explanations.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to

provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound

reduction for its internal working components. Despite 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 or tiled floors and paneled walls have a

tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.

Listed below are common refrigeration components with a

brief description of the normal operating sounds they

make. NOTE: Your product may not contain all the

components listed.

• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing

sound that may be heard when it operates.

Verification of temperature and thermistor performance

can be identified by directly viewing thermistor readings in

the service mode.

Component failure issues can be identified through service

mode menu #19, “Component Testing.” Individual

components can be switched on and off to check for both

proper function of a specific component and also delivery

of supply voltage to the components through the relays

and DC outputs located on the relay/power board.

Included in this section are some diagnostic tips and of

course, if additional help is required please contact the

U-Line Corp, “Customer Care Facility” at +1.800.779.2547

for assistance.

• 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.

Solenoid Valves: An occasional clicking sound may be

heard as solenoid valves are operated.

MAIN CONTROL

The main control board is very robust and is rarely the

cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose

the board for any suspected failures before attempting to

remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the

guidelines below to fully test and diagnose the main

control.

Power Fault

If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the

flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before

beginning it is important to first verify the unit is not

simply set to sabbath mode.

Testing The Main Control

If the main control is suspected of being faulty, the

following procedure should be performed to verify main

control for functionality.

Relay & DC Outputs

One of the primary functions of the main control is to

operate the multiple relay and DC outputs during each

cycle. Verify proper operation of these relays using the

following procedure.

1. Enter “Relay Toggle” through the service menu.

Frequently toggling the compressor relay could

force the compressor into overload. The

compressor will automatically deactivate during

an overload and will remain deactivated until the

overload switch cools. This could take some

time. It is important to allow the compressor at

least 5 minutes off time between relay cycles.

2. Toggle the relay. Its related component should

activate / deactivate with the switching of the relay. If

it does not, test component.

Other Suspected Main Control Faults

If other components have been ruled out as being faulty

but the unit continues to have operating issues, it is most

likely due to a configuration error. Configuration errors

can be cleared by restoring the unit to its factory default

setting. Factory defaults may be restored through the

service menu.

CAUTION

!

Precautions must be taken while working with

live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow

proper safety procedures while performing tests

on live systems.

VIEWING ACTUAL TEMPERATURE

In viewing temperature in these modes any offsets are
taken into account. This means that if you place a therm-
istor 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 reading 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.

T o view the thermistor temperature, push and release the
up and down keys. The display will show the corr ected
refrigerator temperature.

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.

SERVICE MODE

This mode has 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 initiate the function. If
changing a setting, you must press the LIGHT key again
to retain the changed setting. T o 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.

SHOWROOM MODE

This mode is designed to show units in a display environ-
ment. When in this mode the only functions will be the
control and cabinet lights. The compressor, fans, etc. will
not operate. To enter/exit this mode hold the light key
and the power key for 5 seconds. The display will flash

Thermistors

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.

Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is

suspected of being defective, the resistance can be

verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the

resistance should read 16.1k OHMs +/-5% on your meter.

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 dielectric grease to all of

our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to

keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

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

dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a

dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the

thermistor and the thermistor harness.

Thermistor error information can be found in the Control

Operations - Service section.

This unit has two thermistors.

Thermistor one (Zone):

Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to

maintain the operating temperature within that zone.

Thermistor two (Evaporator):

Located on the evaporator. It is used for defrost.

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistor

1000 Series Self Preservation Mode:

The unit will cycle on for 10 minutes then off for 40

If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a

preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will

otherwise operate normally. Refer to defrost section.
