Air Flow

The unit requires proper air flow to perform at its highest efficiency. Do not block the front grille or internal fans at any time, or the unit will not perform as expected. Do not install the unit behind a door.

Initial Startup

All U-Line controls are preset at the factory. Initial startup requires no adjustments.
U-Line recommends allowing the unit to run overnight before loading refrigerator or freezer with product.
To turn the unit on or off, press and hold POWER (1) for about ten seconds and release. The display will show the unit set-point temperature when turned on and display OFF when the unit is off.

Electronic Control Panel

Digital Display.
The electronic control with digital display shows a single continuous set-point temperature. The factory default set-point for Glass Door Refrigerators and Refrigerator models is 38°F. The factory default set-point for Wine Captain® models is 50°F. The set-point temperature is a gauge for further temperature adjustments.
Turning the Display Off. Wine Captain® Models and Glass Door Refrigerators have a DISPLAY OFF mode available through the control panel. This allows you to control if the display will be ON or OFF with the door closed. The icon sequence that follows will switch between both modes, On or Off:
1. Press and hold WARMER (2), and simultaneously within five seconds press POWER (1) three times.
2. The display will be either visible or dark with the door closed.
To return to the previous mode, repeat Step 1.

Adjusting Air Temperature

Adjust the set point temperature in single increments, and wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before rechecking.
To adjust the set point temperature:
1. Press and release either WARMER (2) or COOLER (4) to put the controller in the SET TEMPERATURE mode. The display (3) will begin to flash the °F (or °C) symbol.
NOTE: This mode will self-cancel in five seconds, and the display (3) will show the original set-point temperature.
2. Within five seconds (while the °F (or °C) symbol is flashing), press WARMER or COOLER as required to adjust the set point temperature.
3. The change is committed five seconds after adjusting the temperature, and the display (3) will show the new set-point temperature.
Temperature °F °C Selection. U-Line products supplied for 110 VAC have temperatures displayed (3) default in Fahrenheit (°F). Models supplied for 220 VAC have temperatures displayed (3) default in Celsius (°C).
Easily adjust the display for either type temperature display.
Press and hold LIGHT (1) and simultaneously within five seconds press COOLER (5) three times to change the display (3) as needed.
Temperature Display. The digital display shows set-point. Under normal operating conditions the temperatures will fluctuate based on a number of factors including door openings, product load, room temperature, and humidity. On passive cooled units the temperature will always be coolest toward the bottom.
To display actual temperature:
1. Press WARMER (2) for five seconds. The display (3) will indicate the actual temperature.
2. After about 10 seconds, the set point temperature will return to the display.

Checking Product Temperature

To check the actual product temperature in the unit.
1. Partially fill a plastic (nonbreakable) bottle with water.
2. Insert an accurate thermometer.
3. Tighten the bottle cap securely.
4. Place the bottle in the desired area for 24 hours.
5. Avoid opening the unit during the testing period.
6. After 24 hours, check the temperature of the water. If required, adjust the temperature control in a small increment (See ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE).
Causes which affect the internal temperatures of the cabinet include:
• Temperature setting.
• Ambient temperature where installed.
• Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
• The number of door openings and the time the door is open.
• The time the internal light is illuminated. (This mainly affects
product on the top rack or shelf.)
• The front grille or condenser are obstructed.

Interior Lighting

Normal Operation. Opening the door will cause the interior of
the cabinet to illuminate.
Use LIGHT (5) on the control panel to change the lighting functions.
Timed Lighting. For Wine Captain® Models and Glass Door Refrigerators the interior of the cabinet is illuminated for a timed four-hour period.
1. Press and release LIGHT (5) (the °F symbol will flash briefly) to switch from door-operated lighting control to the timed four hour lighting period.
2. At the end of the four-hour period, the light will turn OFF and door-operated lighting control will resume.
3. To exit the timed lighting control before the end of the four­hour period, repeat Step 1.
Blackout (Sabbath) Mode. The interior of the cabinet and control display will remain darkened (Blackout (Sabbath Mode) is not Star K certified).
To enable Blackout / Sabbath Mode.
1. Press and hold LIGHT (5) for ten seconds and release (the °F / °C symbol will flash briefly at the end of the ten second period).
2. The interior light and control display (3) will go dark until user resets mode.
3. NOTE: Although the display will not be visible, the temperature controls in the unit remain active, and preserve the interior temperature.
To exit the Blackout (Sabbath) Mode, repeat Step 1.

Drawers

The drawers should only be removed for servicing by a trained and certified repair personal.
To p S to r ag e B i n
Grasp the bin handle and slide backward to access the contents below. The bin may be completely removed for cleaning once it is slid forward, making sure it clears the guides on each side of the drawer. Then lift straight up. If heavy items are stored in bin, push front of bin down slightly while sliding. Slide bin forward, especially with heavy items, to ensure that drawer closes completely.
When opening or closing the crisper, pull or push slowly and carefully. If the crisper is pulled out too far or pushed in too hard, it could come out all the way and possibly cause product damage or personal injury.

Other Models

Crisper
Your models may have a lower crisper drawer for storage.
To open, grasp the crisper handle and slowly pull out to access the drawer contents. The crisper may be completely removed for cleaning.
If the drawer is pulled out too far, it will come out of the cabinet, and may be damaged by falling.
Crisper
Some models are equipped with a crisper in the lower drawer. To access the crisper, open the bottom drawer fully. Grasp the handle to either side of the crisper and slide just enough to access the contents. To remove crisper, support both ends and slide out completely. To remove the glass crisper cover (1), remove the crisper and push up on cover from bottom.
