2 Product Features
Échelon Wine Captain
All Wine Captain Models feature specially designed wine racks that allow for the proper horizontal storage of wine. The corks remain moist, which keeps air from entering the bottles.
Models 2115WC and 2115WCOL2 will accommodate up to 24 bottles (750 mL size), and Models 2175WC and 2175WCOL2 will accommodate up to 48 bottles (750 mL size).
The Right Temperature for Wine
Your Wine Captain has been designed to provide three temperature zones within the cabinet so the specific storage requirements of your finest wines can be satisfied.
Superior Features of Échelon
•An electronic control panel with digital display allows you to display the interior temperature in each zone. The unit is shipped from the factory with a default temperature of 50°F. The controller only controls the middle zone. This zone can be set from 45-54°F. The upper zone will be approximately 5-6°F warmer and the lower zone will be approximately 5-6°F cooler than the middle zone. The electronic control and digital display provide an attractive appearance, and its method of control provides precise temperatures for storage of multiple types of wine.
•An interior light will illuminate automatically as the door is opened, providing easy visual identification of the wine. However, you can easily select two other modes of operation:
a.The interior light can be illuminated while the door is closed, providing an attractive display of your wine collection for a period of four hours.
b.A blackout/Sabbath mode (not Star K certified) allows you to darken both interior lights and the LED display, while maintaining complete temperature control in the unit.
•The door features tinted thermal glass that protects your wines from potentially harmful light rays while providing a fashionable appearance.
•Wine racks have a contoured maple front trim that adds a fashionable appearance to the Wine Captain. The wood facing may be stained, with a WATER-based stain, or replaced in its entirety with other woods or manufactured products (such as Corian® or Sandstone).
•Five fully extendable sliding wine racks provide easy access to all wine bottles.
•Black vinyl wine racks blend with the wine bottles, placing greater emphasis on the wines themselves. The vinyl holds the wine bottles more effectively than a chromed or painted finish.
•A Wine Display Rack, located at the lowest level in the cabinet is another U-Line exclusive. Bottles are displayed at an approximate 40° angle.
•Wine Captain Models feature either a stainless steel, black or full overlay ready door frames.
a.Stainless steel units feature a wrapped 2 in. (5.1 cm) wide door frame, handle. Stainless steel doors are not field reversible.
b.Black units feature a seamless 1-1/2 in. (3.8 cm) wide door frame with a slightly contoured top mount integrated door handle that is field reversible and easy to maintain.
c.Door full overlay wood frames are customer provided, and not supplied by U-Line.
•Self-closing door hinges that engage when the door is open approximately 8-10 in. (20.3-25.4 cm), ensure a positive door seal and prevents door bounce back.
•Stainless steel models feature a full wrap stainless steel cabinet.
•An optional commercial handle is available through the dealer to further customize your unit.
•Black models feature a vinyl clad steel cabinet that provides a rich textured look, and resists scratching, peeling and flaking.
•Wine Captain Models are not recommended for outdoor use.
•Wine Captain Models installed in either a free-standing or built-in configuration must be anchored to prevent tipping, using the originally provided anti-tip kit.
Features and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Optional Commercial Straight
3 Handle
Stainless steel models are shipped from the factory equipped with the standard curved handle. An optional commercial straight handle can be purchased directly from your dealer. Order Part No. 14159-01.
