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.

4 Product Features
Échelon Wine Captain
Model 2175DWRWC
Your U-Line Wine Captain is the industry’s only built-in
under the counter two drawer wine storage unit with
dual zone temperature control and up to 43 bottle (750
mL size) capacity. Your Wine Captain will accommodate
up to 24 bottles in the top drawer and up to 19 bottles in
the bottom drawer. The bottom drawer also includes a
wine caddy for elegant transportation and service of
three bottles of wine. Specially designed cascading, fully
extendable, wine racks in both drawers allow for the
proper horizontal storage and presentation of the wine.
The corks remain moist, which keeps air from entering the
bottles.
The Right Temperature for Wine
Your Wine Captain is designed to provide a temperature
zone in each drawer, adjustable between 40 - 60°F, so the
specific storage requirements of your finest wines can be
satisfied.
NOTE: Product temperatures, not air temperatures, are
referenced above.
Features of Échelon Wine Captain
• An electronic control panel with digital display allows
you to display the actual temperature in each drawer,
and adjust the individual temperature setting to your
personal preference. The electronic control and digital
display provides an attractive appearance, and its
method of control provides precise temperatures for
storage of one or multiple types of wine.
• An interior light will illuminate automatically in each
drawer as it is opened, providing easy visual
identification of the wine. However, you can easily
select two other modes of operation:
a. Interior lights in both drawers can be illuminated
while the drawers are closed, providing an
attractive display of your wine collection.
b. 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 both drawers. NOTE: On
Drawer Wine Captain units, the lights will still be
active and will light when either drawer is opened
and unit is in blackout/Sabbath mode. User will
need to remove the light bulb from socket to
prevent lights from coming on when drawers are
opened.
• Automatic (cycle) defrost means maintenance-free
defrosting.
• Cascading wine racks present the wine bottles to you
and provide an unobstructed view of the bottle labels.
• Wine racks have a contoured maple front trim that
adds a fashionable appearance to Wine Captain. The
wood facing may be stained or replaced in its entirety
with other woods or manufactured products (such as
®
Corian
• Black vinyl wine racks blend with the wine bottles,
placing greater emphasis on the wines themselves. The
vinyl holds the wine bottles more effectively than a
chromed or painted finish.
• All units feature a vinyl clad steel cabinet that provides
a rich textured look, and resists scratching, peeling and
flaking.
• Stainless steel unit drawers feature a stainless steel
wrap and sculpted stainless handles.
• Both drawers feature tinted thermal glass that protects
your wines from potentially harmful light rays while
providing a very fashionable appearance.
• Wine Captain models are not recommended for
outdoor use.
• The Model 2175DWRWC Wine Captain cannot be
configured for a free-standing installation. It must be
installed as a built-in, under counter unit, and must be
anchored to prevent tipping using the originally
provided anti-tip kit.
Features and specifications are subject to change without
notice.
