Exterior Cleaning

(As Required)

Overlay Models:

• Clean glass drawer fronts with glass cleaner. The
drawers, 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.

• Clean glass drawer fronts with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner. Keep your stainless steel surfaces 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 stainless steel cleaners/polishes on
the glass surfaces.

• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically
intended for stainless steel on stainless steel
surfaces (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 built-in
installation. 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.

Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.

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 12.

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.

4 Prepare Racks and Caddy

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. The
trim on the racks may be coated with a final finish or
stained.

If neither of these treatments are to be included in this
installation, go on to 5 Adjust Drawers.

CAUTION

To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of the

.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT apply stain/final finish to the wood trim with the
electronic display attached to the wood. Damage may
occur to the electronic control which is not covered by the
warranty.

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.

7. 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.

8. After two hours, repeat step 2. This will even out the
color of the wood.

9. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before
applying the final finish.

10. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to
smooth the surface after the staining process.

11. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of
Minwax
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.

12. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.

Final finish-only application:

1. Follow steps 1 through 6, then continue with step 2 in
this section.

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
recommended (Minwax
drying 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 display to bottom drawer trim and
remaining trim to the cabinet interior components.

support more than the drawers’ content. Serious
personal injury could occur.

After leveling, the unit must be secured to a counter, a
cabinet or a wall to prevent tipping.

1. Open the upper drawer to expose the six screws (A)
installed at the top two corners (three at each corner).
Remove the appropriate screws for horizontal or
vertical mounting (see Figure 21). Do not discard.

the previous steps until the unit is level. Go on to

Installation Tip

If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cut-out
opening, adjust the rear feet to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1/8" less than the opening’s rear height. Shorten
the unit height in the front by adjusting the front feet.
This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the opening.
Readjust the front feet to level the unit after it is correctly
positioned in the opening.

2. Insert the screws through the anti-tip bracket (B) and
attach the bracket to the unit. Tighten screws securely.

3. Repeat for the other side.

Note: The bracket should be flush with the surface it is
being attached to. If it is not, loosen the screws and slide
the bracket against the mounting surface. Tighten screws
securely.

4. Using two of the screws (C) supplied, fasten the screws
through the bracket and into the counter, cabinet or wall.

IMPORTANT

Certain cabinets or countertops may require special
fasteners or additional wood blocking to anchor properly.

CAUTION

Make sure the screws are back far enough so they do not
damage any exposed front surface of the cabinet.
