CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
Install a 1/4 inch outside diameter copper water line (not
supplied with unit) from the nearest COLD water pipe. When
connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.
• In most instances, the cold water supply will come from the basement through a hole in the floor.
• The water pressure should be between 15 and 150 psi.
• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch outside diameter supply line
(not supplied with unit).
• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow the unit to be moved
for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that the tubing
is not pinched or damaged during installation.
• U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation.
1. Locate the compression fitting
and ferrule packed in the unit.
Slide the compression fitting
and ferrule over the 1/4 inch
outside diameter water supply
line. Do not use thread seal-
ing compound or tape. Using
two wrenches, tighten the
compression fitting on the
supply line (see Figure 7). Do
not overtighten.

CASCADING WINE RACKS
When the Wine Captain®drawer is
opened, the wine bottles will automatically cascade outward (Figure 30).
This feature provides presentation to
your bottles while the drawer is opening and maximizes access to the bottles. The cascading also allows you to
easily identify the bottles or labels.
Open and close the drawers, with a
slow and steady motion. (In the top
drawer, only the bottom two racks will
cascade when the drawer is opened.
There are three racks total. Both racks
in the bottom drawer will cascade.)
After you identify the desired bottle,
the cascading rack can be pulled out
or pushed back into the cabinet. Gently
hold the drawer front handle when
manually sliding the cascading racks. If
the rack(s) is not manually moved, the
rack will be pushed back into its closed
position when the drawer is closed.
NOTE
Open and close the drawers slow
and steady, if the drawers are
opened abruptly, the cascading
mechanism will disengage and
the racks will NOT automatically
cascade outward, and will
remain in the cabinet. You can
still slide out the rack(s) easily to
access your wine. Slowly close
the drawer to reset the cascading mechanism.
The cascading feature can also be disabled; refer to Cascade Disabling.

WINE CADDY
The bottom drawer includes a threebottle caddy for elegant transportation and service of wine (Figure 31).
To access the bottle caddy, open the
bottom drawer fully. Grasp the handle of either side of the caddy and
gently slide the caddy out, supporting the bottom.
CAUTION
When removing or installing
the caddy, pull or push it
slowly and gently. If it is
pulled out too far or pushed
in too hard, it could come
out all the way and possibly
cause damage or injury.
Make sure the wine caddy
is installed correctly before
trying to close the drawer.
THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR WINE
Your is designed to provide different temperature zones within the
cabinet so different types of wine may be maintained at varying temperatures. Each drawer can be set at a different temperature. This permits
storage of your finest wines at approximately 60°F for reds, 50-55°F for
whites and 45°F for sparkling wines. The temperatures can be reversed so
the top drawer is colder than the bottom, or the bottom can be colder.
Temperatures noted are product temperatures and not air temperatures.
PROPER STORAGE
Your will accommodate 43 bottles (750 ML size): 24 bottles in
the top drawer and 19 bottles in the bottom drawer. Specially designed
wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage and presentation
of the wine. The cork remains moist, which keeps air from
entering the bottle.
DWR048
Figure 31
CASCADE INSTRUCTIONS
The U-Line refrigerated Wine Captain®drawer unit is equipped with a
proprietary mechanism that allows wine bottles to automatically cascade
outward when each drawer is opened. This feature provides bottle
presentation upon opening, maximizes access to the bottles and enables
easy identification of the bottles/labels.
It is best to open the drawers of the Wine Captain with a slow and steady
motion. The bottom two racks in the top drawer (three racks total) and
both racks in the lower drawer will cascade toward the user. After
identifying the desired bottle, the cascading rack can be pulled out or
pushed back into the cabinet. It is necessary to gently hold the drawer
front/handle when manually sliding the cascading racks. If the cascading
rack(s) is not manually moved, the rack will be pushed back into its closed
position when the drawer itself is slowly closed.
By design, if a drawer is abruptly opened the cascading mechanism will
disengage and the racks will NOT automatically cascade outward but will
remain in the cabinet. However, since the rack(s) slides manually, the
user can still easily access the wine. When the drawer is slowly pushed
closed, the cascade mechanism will reset itself for normal operation.
Additional notes about the wine storage sections:
1. In the top drawer, the top rack does not cascade when the drawer
is opened. (Three racks total).
2. The bottom drawer includes a three-bottle caddy for elegant transportation and service of wine.
3. The user, if desired can easily remove the cascade mechanism.

4. Repeat Step 3 on other side of drawer to disable cascade
completely. There are two of these assemblies on each drawer.
5. Repeat Steps 1-4 on other drawer.

ICE MAKER
When the ice bucket is full, the ice making
mechanism will shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain
the cube supply. Frost free icemaker units have
lower ice production than manual defrost units.
Ice production may be interrupted by raising the
bin arm into an upright and locked position (the
unit will maintain temperature for ice storage,
see Figure 34).
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s
operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve,
or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
NEVER use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp instrument to
separate cubes. Shake the ice bucket instead.
During periods of limited usage or high ambient temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together. Shake the bucket to break apart cubes.
If ice maker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied periodically to ensure fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being
trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with the
health, taste or chemical make-up of the water. It is the same air that is
in every glass of water you drink.
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment, because they may
freeze.

STAINLESS STEEL MODELS
CAUTION
Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture,
such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some
discoloration of the stainless steel. Discoloration from chlorine gas is normal.
Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning with a good quality, all
in one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. For best results
use Claire
®
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased
from U-Line Corporation (U-Line P/N 173348). Frequent cleaning will
remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations
will require cleaning on a weekly basis.
