covered with a protective coating and have been ordered
left- or right-hand hinged. The Stainless doors are not
reversible.
2115WCOL units are Black with an unattached door that
requires the construction of a 3/4-inch thick wood overlay
frame. You must determine left- or right-hand opening
before construction.
All units come with maple trim wine racks that can be
finished or stained. Please carefully follow the directions
that apply to your unit and your intended design.
Tools/Materials Required
• Screwdrivers — slotted and Phillips head
• Sandpaper; low odor, water clean up, quick drying
finish; tack cloth and, if desired, water-based wood
stain and synthetic foam brush
• 3/4-inch overlay frame material, cutting tools, drill and
bits (2115WCOL units)
Inspection
Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface
capable of supporting its entire weight.
Removing Protective Coating
(Stainless Steel Units Only)
When inspecting/installing a Stainless Steel unit, the
protective coating covering the unit must be removed
first. Start at a corner of the unit/door and pull back the
protective coating to remove it from the unit/door.

2115WC/2115WCOL Wine Captain
®
After all the protective coating has been removed from
the unit/door, clean all Stainless Steel surfaces with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product
or a mild detergent and warm water solution and soft
cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning agents.
Note: If cleaning with mild detergent and warm water
solution and soft cloth, the unit MUST be treated with
Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent discoloration.
Exterior Cleaning
(As Required)
Black Models:
• The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild
detergent and warm water solution. Do not use
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge
and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean
towel to prevent water spotting.
Stainless Steel Models:
• Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to
chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with
bleach.
• Keep your stainless steel unit 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. (The part number
is 173348.) Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination
that could lead to rust. Some installations may require
cleaning on a weekly basis.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads.
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically
intended for stainless steel (this includes glass,
tile and counter cleaners).
• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser
and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction
of the grain. Always finish this process with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent further problems.
• Use of abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite will
cause the graining in the stainless to become
blurred.
• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the
surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of
the rust may not be possible.
3 Prepare Site
Your U-Line product has been designed for either freestanding or 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 and
clearance is required for electrical connection in the rear.

Other Site Requirements
Power Supply
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,
60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). See
Electrical Specifications on Page 13.
Environmental Requirements
Many U-Line models are designed to operate in harsh
outdoor/marine environments. Special considerations
include the following:
• The units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C)
and 110°F (40°C). High ambient temperatures (110°F
[40°C] or higher) may reduce the unit’s ability to reach
low temperatures.
• For best performance, keep the unit out of direct
sunlight and away from heat generating equipment.
• In climates where high humidity and dew points are
present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces.
This is considered normal. The condensation will
disappear when the humidity drops.
• U-Line does not recommend installation of glass front
models (Wine Captain
Beverage Centers) as well as the Combo Drawer model
(Refrigerator/Freezer/Ice Maker) outdoors, or in tropical
climates where high humidity and dew point are present
on a regular basis, unless air-conditioning (typical 72°F,
75%RH) will be used.

Side-By-Side Installation
Instructions
For a complete refreshment center, install your 2115WC or
2115WCOL unit beside a U-Line Refrigerator, Ice Maker or
Combo Model (see Figure 11 for typical cut-out). Note
that each Side-By-Side Installation will be different.
• Cut-out width for a side-by-side installation is the total
of the widths listed under Cut-Out Dimensions in each
unit’s Installation Guide.
For example:
®
Placing a 2115 Wine Captain
would require a cut-out width of:
15-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 30-3/8"
Placing a 2115 Wine Captain
would require a cut-out width of:
15-3/16" + 24-3/16" = 39-3/8"
•
No trim kit is required. However, 1/4-inch space needs to
be maintained
between the units to ensure
unobstructed door swing.
• Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
Electrical Specifications.

4 Prepare Racks and Door Frame
The U-Line Wine Captain® is equipped with woodtrimmed wine racks that are coated at the factory with a
clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood
in normal usage. A final finish coat was not applied so
that the wood trim could be stained to match décor or
overlay frame. The trim on the racks may be coated with a
final finish or stained.
2115WCOL Models are designed for, and require
installation of, an Overlay Frame.
If none of these treatments are to be included in this
installation, go on to 5 Adjust Door.
CAUTION
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of the
Wine Captain®, the wine rack wood trim MUST be
removed from the unit for staining and/or finishing.
Allow stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours per
coat) in accordance with the stain/finish manufacturer’s
instructions prior to re-installing the wood trim inside the
cabinet of the Wine Captain
the inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor,
which is not covered by the warranty.

IMPORTANT
Do not remove the track side rails from the cabinet.
2115WC/2115WCOL Wine Captain
®
To insert a rack in the cabinet:
1. Align the left and right rack channels with the tracks
in the cabinet, and ensuring an even track
engagement on both sides, gently push the rack into
the cabinet until it stops.
2. Before reloading the rack, ensure proper operation of
the travel stops in the left and right track rails by
pulling the rack out gently until it completely stops.
Wood Trim Finishing
Interior components of your U-Line unit are equipped
with a natural wood trim for appearance and durability.
Although this wood trim has been coated with a clear
sealer at the factory, it is recommended that the trim be
stained (if desired), and receive a final finish coating prior
to the unit going into full-time service.
WARNING
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner
of your unit, the wood trim MUST be removed
from the unit for staining and/or finishing. Allow
stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours
per coat) in accordance with the product
manufacturer’s instructions prior to
reinstallation. Failure to do so may cause the
inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor,
which is not covered by the warranty.
If staining the trim is desired, it must be done before the
application of any type of final finish. Review the
following staining/final finish and final finish-only
guidelines when staining/ and or sealing the wood to
ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.
NOTE: Glass in door is tinted. Stain may look darker
when door is closed.
Staining and final finish application:
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior
components, and remove the trim from the cabinet
interior.
NOTE: Your model will contain an electronic display panel
in the lowest level trim piece. After removing the trim
screws, and gently pulling the trim from its location, a
wiring harness connector will become visible. Unplug the
connector, and remove the trim from the interior.
2. Apply Minwax® Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with
a synthetic bristle brush or a foam applicator. Allow
stain to penetrate approximately three minutes. Before
the stain is dry, take a stain dampened rag and remove
any excess stain remaining. Wipe in the direction of the
grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain
color.
3. After two hours, repeat step 2. This will even out the
color of the wood.
4. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before
applying the final finish.
5. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to
smooth the surface after the staining process.
6. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of
Minwax
®
Polycrylic® Protective Finish using a synthetic
bristle brush to the wood. This finish should be applied
in a thin coat following the direction of the grain.
Apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood first,
and allow it to dry for two hours. Apply the finish to the
front side of the wood next, and allow it to dry for two
hours. Sand with very fine 220 grit sandpaper. Apply
two addition coats of the finish in the same manner, but
do not sand the trim after the final third coat is applied.
7. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.
Final finish-only application:
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior
components, and remove the trim.
2. Lightly scruff sand the wood trim with 280 or finer grit
sandpaper.
3. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.
4. The factory-applied seal is compatible with virtually all
finishes. A low odor, water clean up, quick-drying finish
such as Minwax
®
Polycrylic® Protective Finish is
recommended (Minwax® Polycrylic® is an ultra fastdrying water-based finish). Apply a thin coat of a clear,
protective finish, following the container label
directions.
5. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.
6. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use oil-based stains on wood trim. Vapors from
oil-based stains will permanently penetrate the liner and
will not dissipate over time.

6 Prepare Power Supply
Electrical Specifications
CAUTION
Electrical installation must observe all state and local
codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (threeprong), 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. GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location
appliances and is not recommended for your unit because
a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be
sure to consult your local codes.
See Figure 27 for recommended receptacle location.
