LEVELING INFORMATION

1. Use a level to confirm

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 legs as

necessary.

INSTALLATION

1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.

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. Install the anti-tip bracket.

5. 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. Adjust the front legs 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)

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

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.

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.

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.

CAUTION

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.

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. In an ice water

bath (32°F) resistance should measure 16.1 kilohms.

5K OHMS @ 77°

16.1K OHMS - 32°F ambient

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistor

If the zone thermistor fails, the unit will continue to

operate in a timed limp mode for 5 minutes on and 45

minutes off. The unit will otherwise operate normally. The

error will be displayed in the error log.

REED SWITCH

A reed switch is used to monitor door state. When the

door is closed magnetic force pulls the reed to its contact

and closes the circuit which turns the light and display off.

When the door is open the reed pulls away from the

contact and opens the circuit. If the door is left open for

longer than 5 minutes, the switch will trigger an error code

and set an audible warning.

Evaporator Thermistor

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

preset defrost time during defrost cycles. The unit will

otherwise operate normally. Evaporator thermistor errors

will be displayed in the error log.

Always assure that all thermistor connections are clean

and dry. Whenever opening a thermistor connection be

sure to apply a fresh dab of die electric grease.

VIEWING ACTUAL TEMPERATURE

In viewing temperature in these modes any offsets are

taken into account. This means that if you place a

thermistor 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.

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.

THERMISTOR FAILURE

Zone Thermistors

If a zone thermistor in the unit fails the unit will continue

to cool in a back up mode to preserve the integrity of the

contents. The unit will cycle on for ten minutes, then shut

down for forty five minutes. The process will repeat until

the problem is corrected. All other functions of the unit

will continue to operate normally.

Evaporator Thermistors

If an evaporator thermistor fails the unit will rely on a

preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will

otherwise operate normally. Evaporator thermistor errors

are recorded in service mode “Error Log” section.

This unit has four thermistors. Thermistor one is located

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

operating temperature within that zone.

Thermistor two is located on the back of the evaporator in

the top zone and is used for defrost purposes.

Thermistor three is located along the right hand side wall

in the bottom zone. It is used to maintain the operating

temperature within that zone.

Thermistor four is located on the back of the evaporator in

the bottom zone and is used for defrost purposes.

All four of the thermistors in the unit are identical. If a

thermistor is suspected of being defective it can be

OHMed out. In an ice water bath the thermistor should

OHM out at 16.1k OHMS +/-5%.

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 die electric grease to all

of our thermistor connections. Die electric grease will help

to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

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

electric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty

thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor

and the thermistor harness.

Defrost

These units are automatic (cycle) defrost unit will defrost

itself when the control/sensor is satisfied of internal

temperatures. Defrost mode ends when control/sensor

asks for cooling.
