consulted before any installation is begun. U-Line

with applicable electrical codes.

General Precautions

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

DANGER

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT. Before you throw away
your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors
and leave shelves in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.

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 of power cord, removal of
power cord, removal of power plug, or direct
wiring can cause serious injury, fire and/or 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.

WARNING

The Anti-Tip Kit must be installed on this unit
before it is used. Never use the drawers as steps
or as a shelf to support more than the drawers’
contents. Serious personal injury could occur.

CAUTION

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

• If your model requires defrosting, DO NOT use any
type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed
up defrosting can cause personal injury and
damage to the inner lining.

IMPORTANTIMPORTANT

• Do not lift unit by drawer handles.

• Never install or operate the unit behind closed
doors. Be sure front grille is free of obstruction.
Obstructing free air flow can cause the unit to
malfunction and may void the warranty.

• Failure to clean the condenser every three months
can cause the unit to malfunction. This could void
the warranty.

• Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours
before use.

• If your model requires defrosting, never use an
ice pick or other sharp instrument to help speed
up defrosting. These instruments can puncture
the inner lining or damage cooling unit.

• Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts.
Imitation parts can damage the unit, affect its
operation or performance and may void the
warranty.

4 Product Features

Échelon Model 2175DWRR
Refrigerator

A 5.5 cu ft (156 L) built-in under counter refrigerated
drawer unit

Features of Échelon

• An electronic control panel with digital display allows
you to display the actual temperature in the drawer
and adjust the temperature setting to your personal
preference. The electronic control and digital display
provide an attractive appearance, and its method of
control provides precise temperature settings.

• An interior light will illuminate automatically in each
drawer as it is opened.

NOTE: 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.

• Automatic (cycle) defrost means maintenance-free
defrosting.

• Multiple organizing features, allowing you to
customize your refrigeration space, include:

a. An adjustable Slide and Divide organizer is standard

in the top drawer and can be used in either drawer.
It is easily adjusted from front to back and side to
side.

b. A clear organizing bin in the top drawer can

accommodate wine bottles, two-liter bottles or
other items. The bin is designed to slide from the
front to rear of the drawer allowing easy access to
items in or beneath the bin.

c. A bottom drawer crisper can be removed from

either side of the drawer to bring fruit or vegetables
to a sink, counter top or bar.

d. The glass crisper shelf allows the crisper contents to

be easily seen. The shelf can be fully removed to
accommodate storage of taller items.

• Stainless steel units feature full wrap stainless steel
drawer fronts with sculpted handles.

• Stainless steel drawer interiors are corrosion-resistant
and provide a sleek, professional appearance.

• Heavy duty, full extension drawer slides permit easy
accessibility to contents in the back of drawers.

• All models feature a vinyl clad steel cabinet that
provides a rich textured look, and resist scratching,
peeling and flaking.

• Black units come standard from the factory equipped
for full overlay panels. However, the drawers can
accommodate custom 1/4" (0.64 cm) thick panels.
NOTE: If neither full overlay nor 1/4" (0.64 cm) thick
panels will be used, U-Line recommends replacing the
existing handles with the replacement drawer handles
(P/N 26070-01).

• The Model 2175DWRR Refrigerator cannot be
configured for a free-standing installation. It must be
installed as a built-in under counter unit, and be
anchored to prevent tipping, using the originally
provided anti-tip kit.

Features and specifications are subject to change without
notice.
