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.

HANDLELESS INTEGRATED FRAME

The following procedure is designed to provide a finished,

handleless frame for an 18" (450 mm) door that

seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry.

Prepare two 18" (450 mm) panels for 36" (900 mm) units.

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 frame solution wherein the size of the panel/

frame 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 frame 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 appropriate dimensions below.

Door Stop

Your U-Line unit was shipped to you with the optional 90°

pin.

Your unit’s door(s) will open 115° straight from the

factory. If you would like the door stop at 90° follow these

instructions.

If your unit is already undercounter, it will need

to be moved out to access the hinge. With the

90° stop pin in place, you will not be able to

replace the hinge cover.

1. Open door approximately 90°.

3. Once cover is removed, slide hinge pin into hole as

shown. Pin should slide into place, stopping the door at

90°; if the pin does not go into the hole shown, hold

the door less than 90° open and try again.

4. To fully seat the pin, tap it lightly with a hammer.

2. Remove hinge cover by lifting top and bottom of hinge

cover and sliding the cover inwards to remove from

hinge.

5. Carefully slide your unit back in place.

The pin can be removed to return the door swing

back to its original 115° swing by tapping the pin

out from the bottom of the hinge.

CLOSER

The door hinge has a self-closing feature that engages

when the door is open approximately 6" (150 mm) (about

25°).

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

WHITE wine RED wine

YOUNG wine OLD wine

LIGHT-BODIED wine FULL-BODIED wine

Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine is

tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine’s

subtle qualities may be missed.

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.

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

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.

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.

Inputs

The main control monitors a number of thermistor inputs

and switch states during operation. It would be unlikely

that an error in reading an input would be at the board

level. Always attempt to replace the fault switch or

thermistor input with a known working sample to verify

proper board operation.

SAFETY • INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION • OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE

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.

CONVECTION COOLING

All 3000 series units are equipped with an advanced

convection cooling system. Convection cooling stabilizes

cabinet temperature, cools product faster and increases

energy efficiency.

Evaporator Fan

The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air

from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back

into the refrigerated zone.

The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay

at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the

evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed

over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2

minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can

be modified through the service menu.

Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door

switch state. If the door switch circuit opens the fan will

stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will

either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not

currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate

air and clear any condensation that may have appeared

on glass doors and shelves.

NOTE: If the unit is set to sabbath mode the evaporator

fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.

In order to operate efficiently the evaporator fan blade

and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust

buildup.

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.

Zone Thermistor

If the zone thermistor fails, the unit will continue to

operate in a timed limp mode which varies by model. 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.

Zone Thermistors

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

Thermistor three is located along the right hand side wall

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

temperature within that zone.

Thermistor four is located behind the evaporator in the

right hand zone. It is used for defrost.

Thermistor five is located in the mechanical compartment

and monitors the ambient temperature within the

compartment. It is used mainly for diagnostics.

All five 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.

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 hidden from the display and recorded in “All Errors”

and displayed in “Self Test” modes.

Ambient Thermistor

The ambient thermistor is mainly used for diagnostics. If

the thermistor fails, the unit will operate normally.

This unit has five thermistors. Thermistor one is located

along the right hand side wall in the left zone. It is used to

maintain the operating temperature within that zone.

Thermistor two is located behind the evaporator in the left

hand zone. It is used for defrost.

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.

CONVECTION COOLING

This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling

system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet

temperature, cools product faster and increases energy

efficiency.

Evaporator Fan

The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air

from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back

into the refrigerated zone.

The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay

at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the

evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed

over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2

minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can

be modified through the service menu.

3. Disconnect power to the unit.

4. Remove rear center cover from unit.

5. Disconnect fan electrical connection to the fan which

must be changed.

Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door

switch state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will

stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will

either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not

currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate

air and clear any condensation that may have appeared

on glass doors and shelves.

Note: If the unit is set to sabbath mode, the evaporator

fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.

In order to operate efficiently, the evaporator fan blade

and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust

buildup.

Evaporator Fan Replacement

Should an evaporator fan need to be replaced follow the

steps below.

1. Remove any product from the unit.

6. Remove insulating foam from refrigerant line pass-

through hole as needed to gain clearance to pass fan

plug through.

7. Remove internal bins and bin holders, wine racks or

shelf supports as dictated by unit, on the side that fan

motor needs to be changed in.

8. If the unit has bins or wine racks, remove the rear

mounting screw only from the slide assembly on each

side. This will allow the slide to pivot downward from

the front mounting screw allowing ample room to

remove the fan cover.

2. Uninstall unit.

9. Remove thermistor cover. From the zone with the

defective fan.
