Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface capable of supporting its entire weight. If necessary, remove protective film from Stainless Steel models.

Exterior Cleaning

IMPORTANT

Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.

•Keep your Stainless 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 (Part numbers 173348). 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 or abrasive pads.

•Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).

•If any surface discolors or rust 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.

•Glass surfaces may be cleaned with standard household window cleaners.

WARNING

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.

4 Prepare Site

Your U-Line product has been designed exclusively for a 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 an electrical connection in the rear.

IMPORTANT

• Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet door.

Electrical Specifications

WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding Required.

•Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a two-prong grounding adapter.

•Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.

IMPORTANT

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 “Cut-Out Dimensions” for recommended receptacle location.
