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.

the unit is level. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side
edge as shown.
2. If the unit is not level,
remove grille and
adjust feet as
necessary.
3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful to not
entangle the power cord, water line and drain line.
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. Install the anti-tip bracket.
5. Remove the tape from the glass shelves and wipe out
the inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened
cloth.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cutout
opening, adjust the rear feet 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
feet. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the
opening. Adjust the front feet to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.

HANDLELESS INTEGRATED DOOR PANEL
The following procedure is designed to provide a finished,
handleless solid panel for a 24" (600 mm) door that
seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry.
NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready
solution for a handleless, integrated design that can be
easily applied to your U-Line 3000 Series model. Consult
your cabinet manufacturer for applicable design and
installation details. The cabinet manufacturer’s solution to
this design and integration detail will often result in an
integrated panel solution wherein the size of the panel
may result in a height dimension taller than what we
specify. This can be achieved provided the additional
height is positioned above the appliance door.
The integrated panel aligns with the surrounding
cabinetry and, due to differences in cabinetry,
may not align perfectly with the door.
3. Prepare the insert(s) that will back up the handleless
design. Wooden Insert – Cut 1/8" (3 mm) thick
wooden insert(s) to the dimensions below.
Wooden insert width Wooden insert height
23-3/8" (594 mm) 3-1/2" (89 mm)
The appliance will need up to 34-1/2" (876 mm)
to the underside of the counter to leave room for
leveling adjustments.
A single prepared overlay with insert must not
weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).
Integrated Panel Preparation
1. Cut the main panel to the appropriate dimensions
below. For details, see the drawings on the next page.
Main panel width Main panel height
23-3/8" (594 mm) 28-13/16" (732 mm)
2. Create the top design for the handleless feature and

the Top Detail drawing.
4. Optional: Stain or finish panel and wooden insert to
desired stain or color. Be sure to closely follow the
instructions provided by the manufacturer.
If finishing panel or wooden insert, all sides
must be finished to prevent warping.
5. Attach the insert to the panel. Wood glue or equivalent
adhesive should be used to attach insert to panel.

Airflow and Product Loading
The unit requires proper airflow to perform at its
highest efficiency. Do not block the front grille,
internal fans or vents at any time, or the unit will
not perform as expected. When loading your
unit, leave space between the internal fans or
vents and product loaded. Anything blocking the
required airflow/circulation will result in uneven
temperature distribution in the cabinet and can
also freeze product. Do not install the unit
behind a door.
When properly loaded, your U-Line unit will store up to
172 (12 oz. [330 ml]) cans or 114 (12 oz. [330 ml])
bottles.
For optimal airflow, leave approximately two inches of
space around the fan and one inch around the back wall

EXTERIOR CLEANING
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels and handles can discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish
monthly. For best results use Claire
Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line
Corporation (Part Number 173348). Comparable products
are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations
may require cleaning weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on
any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
®
Stainless Steel
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturer’s recommendation.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a
mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution
applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste to
the interior products and damage or discolor the lining.
DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions this unit does not require manual
defrosting. Minor frost on the rear wall or visible through
the evaporator plate vents is normal and will melt during
each off cycle.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for
stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this
includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain.
Always finish with Claire
Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further
problems.
Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.

or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser®
®
Stainless Steel Polish and
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6 mm) or more,
manually defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can
also produce frost.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp
instrument to help speed up defrosting. These
instruments can puncture the inner lining or
damage the cooling unit. 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.

Troubleshooting
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If you think your U-Line product is malfunctioning, read
the CONTROL OPERATION section to clearly understand
the function of the control.
If the problem persists, read the NORMAL OPERATING
SOUNDS and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE sections below
to help you quickly identify common problems and
possible causes and remedies. Most often, this will resolve
the problem without the need to call for service.
IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED
If you do not understand a troubleshooting remedy, or
your product needs service, contact U-Line Corporation
directly at +1.800.779.2547.
When you call, you will need your product Model and
Serial Numbers. This information appears on the Model
and Serial number plate located on the upper right or rear
wall of the interior of your product.
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.
• 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.
