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.

PREPARE SITE

Your U-Line product has been designed exclusively for a

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.

The Modular 3000 Series units are engineered with a

variety of adjustment features to help ensure a seamless

installation. Adjustable doors, leveling legs and grille will

assist in fine tuning the installation.

All 3000 Series models fully integrate into overlay/face

frame, inset or European/frameless cabinet styles and

install seamlessly into standard 24" (610 mm) depth

cabinet base.

CAUTION

!

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. Use

included tool to adjust

the height of the rear legs.

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.

Cleaning

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® Stainless Steel Polish and

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®

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.

• 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.
