General Precautions

Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and
follow these general precautions along with those listed
throughout this guide:

WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding Required.

• Keep the unit unplugged throughout installation
except during testing.

• Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.

• Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.

• Always keep your working area dry.

CAUTION

• Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use
gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp edges.

• Do not lift the unit by the door or door handle.

• Do not install the unit behind closed doors or in any
way that would obstruct airflow to the front grille,
which may cause the unit to malfunction.

2 Inspect and Plan

You have received a carton containing your 2175BEVS or
2175BEVOL2 Beverage Center with a package inside
containing a Use and Care Guide, a Product Registration
Card and an Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Kit. 2175BEVOL2
units are shipped with an additional package of
hardware. 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.

2175BEVS units are Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel units are
covered with a protective coating and have been ordered
left- or right-hand hinged. The Stainless doors are not
reversible.

2175BEVOL2 units are Black with a door that requires the
construction of a 3/4-inch thick wood overlay frame. You
must determine left- or right-hand opening before
construction.

All units come with maple trim wine racks that can be
finished or stained. 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

• 3/4-inch overlay frame material, cutting tools, drill and
bits (2175BEVOL2 units)

Inspection

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

Removing Protective Coating

(Stainless Steel Units Only)

When inspecting/installing a Stainless Steel unit, the
protective coating covering the unit must be removed
first. Start at a corner of the unit/door and pull back the
protective coating to remove it from the unit/door.

03/2008 3 www.U-LineService.com

2175BEVS/2175BEVOL2 Beverage Center

After all the protective coating has been removed from
the unit/door, clean all Stainless Steel surfaces with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product
or a mild detergent and warm water solution and soft
cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning agents.

Note: If cleaning with mild detergent and warm water
solution and soft cloth, the unit MUST be treated with
Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent discoloration.

Exterior Cleaning

(As Required)

Overlay Models:

• The door, grille and cabinet 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 Steel Models:

• Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to
chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with
bleach.

• Keep your stainless steel 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 cleaners that are not specifically
intended for stainless steel (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.

3 Prepare 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.

width allows 1/4" for ease in installation and removal of
the unit. 24" is the cabinet depth in most installations.
The unit is 23-1/4" deep including the wood overlay frame
on 2175BEVOL2 models and 23-1/4" deep including the
door and not the handle on Stainless Steel models (see

Door Swing/Clearances Information

Wood Overlay units have a zero clearance for the door to
open 90° (see Figure 3). Stainless Steel models require a
minimum of 2-1/8" door clearance to accommodate the
handle if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar type
of structure.

Other Site Requirements

Power Supply

The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,
60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). See
Electrical Specifications on Page 14.

Environmental Requirements

Many U-Line models are designed to operate in harsh
outdoor/marine environments. Special considerations
include the following:

• The units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C)
and 110°F (40°C). High ambient temperatures (110°F
[40°C] or higher) may reduce the unit’s ability to reach
low temperatures.

• For best performance, keep the unit out of direct
sunlight and away from heat generating equipment.

• In climates where high humidity and dew points are
present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces.
This is considered normal. The condensation will
disappear when the humidity drops.

• U-Line does not recommend installation of glass front
models (Wine Captain
Beverage Centers) as well as the Combo Drawer model
(Refrigerator/Freezer/Ice Maker) outdoors, or in tropical
climates where high humidity and dew point are present
on a regular basis, unless air-conditioning (typical 72°F,
75%RH) will be used.

Side-By-Side Installation
Instructions

For a complete refreshment center, install your 2175BEVS
or 2175BEVOL2 unit beside a U-Line Refrigerator, Ice
Maker or Combo Model (see Figure 4 for typical cut-out).
Note that each Side-By-Side Installation will be different.

• Cut-out width for a side-by-side installation is the total
of the widths listed under Cut-Out Dimensions in each
unit’s Installation Guide.

For example:

Placing a 2175 Beverage Center next to a 2115 series
unit would require a cut-out width of:
24-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 39-3/8"

Placing a 2175 Beverage Center next to a 2175 series
unit would require a cut-out width of:
24-3/16" + 24-3/16" = 48-3/8"

No trim kit is required. However, 1/4-inch space needs to

between the units to ensure

4 Prepare Racks and Door Frame

The U-Line Beverage Center is equipped with wood­trimmed wine racks that are coated at the factory with a
clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood
in normal usage. A final finish coat was not applied so
that the wood trim could be stained to match décor or
overlay frame. The trim on the racks may be coated with a
final finish or stained.

2175BEVOL2 Models are designed for, and require
installation of, an Overlay Frame.

If none of these treatments are to be included in this
installation, go on to 5 Adjust Door.

CAUTION

To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of the
Beverage Center, the wine rack wood trim MUST be
removed from the unit for staining and/or finishing.
Allow stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours per
coat) in accordance with the stain/finish manufacturer’s
instructions prior to re-installing the wood trim inside the
cabinet of the Beverage Center. Failure to do so may cause
the inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor,
which is not covered by the warranty.
