WARNING
!
SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding
Required. Never attempt to repair or perform
maintenance on the unit until the electricity has
been disconnected.
Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
Altering, cutting of power cord, removal of

local codes. This unit requires connection to a
grounded (three-prong), 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.

The Modular 3000 Series units are engineered with a
variety of adjustment features to help ensure a seamless
installation. Adjustable doors, leveling legs and grille will
assist in fine tuning the installation.
All 3000 Series models fully integrate into overlay/face
frame, inset or European/frameless cabinet styles and
install seamlessly into standard 24" (610 mm) depth
cabinet base.
CAUTION
!

1. Use a level to confirm
the unit is level. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side
edge as shown.
2. If the unit is not level,
remove grille and
adjust feet as
necessary. Use
included tool to adjust the height of the rear leveler
feet. Turn screw clockwise to raise the rear foot,
counter-clockwise to lower.
3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful to not
entangle the power cord.
3. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to
side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top
surface should be approximately 1/8" (3 mm) below
the countertop.
4. Install the anti-tip bracket.
5. Remove the tape from the glass shelves and wipe out
the inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened
cloth.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cutout
opening, adjust the rear feet to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1/8" (3 mm) 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. Adjust the front feet to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.

LOOKING BEHIND THE LABEL
To most, wine is a delicious mystery. We purchase it,
uncork it, and savor its taste and beauty. But there is so
much more to true wine appreciation. Many secrets are
simply too good to keep bottled up.
WINE SELECTIONS SUGGESTIONS
Selecting the right wine for the right occasion can
sometimes be a seemingly awkward or difficult task for
the beginning wine enthusiast. We would therefore like to
present you with a few suggestions which may provide a
little more confidence and enjoyment when choosing and
serving your wines.
When selecting wines, keep an open mind and do not be
afraid to be adventurous. Do not view the subject of wine
so seriously it discourages you from learning and
discovering for fear of embarrassment if something is
incorrect. Wine is best viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.

When assembling your collection, try not to become
obsessed with “Vintages.” Although a chart can be a useful
tool, generalizations about a specific year have led more
than one collector to disappointment. Often an “Off Year”
will provide a better value and more drinking enjoyment.
The primary guideline to the subject of wine is your own
palate. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Experiment,
discover, but most of all, enjoy yourself and your new U-
Line product.
Matching Food and Wine
Although there are no hard fast rules for matching wine to
food, observe some guidelines. Delicate dishes should be
accompanied by lighter more delicate wines. Full-flavored
foods should be matched with fuller-bodied wines.
As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and
quality of wines served.
Serve a: Before a:
DRY wine SWEET wine
WHITE wine RED wine
YOUNG wine OLD wine
LIGHT-BODIED wine FULL-BODIED wine
Any step back in quality will be noticed. If a fine wine is
tasted prior to a lesser wine, many of the fine wine’s
subtle qualities may be missed.

A Toast to Wine Truths
Like the grapes themselves, many wine myths have been
cultivated over the centuries.
Myth 1: Most wines taste better when aged.
Truth: In fact, less than 5% of wines produced today are
meant to be aged. Most wines are crafted to be consumed
within the first one to two years.
Myth 2: Wines should be uncorked and decanted allowing
them to “breathe.”
Truth: To breathe or not breathe? While it is better to
allow a young tannic Red to breathe in a glass or decanter
to soften the tannins, an old Red reaches a stage in its life
where it should be enjoyed soon after opening. Allow an
old Red to breathe for a short time to dissipate any off
odors. Most white wines can be served, ideally, 10-15
minutes after opening.

The Cork: A Mystery on Its Own
Cork Presentation. The ritual of the presentation of the
cork has a rich and fascinating history dating back to the
late 1800’s. A phylloxera (root louse) devastation to the
vineyards severely limited the supply of great wines.
Restaurateurs would remove labels on inferior wines and
replace them with labels from superior wines. This made it
necessary for patrons to protect themselves by checking
the branding on the cork to ensure that what they ordered
was, in fact, what they were served.
When presented with a cork today, feel it to check for its
integrity, read and match the branding on the cork to the
bottle and set it aside. There is little to be learned from
the cork. The proof is in the wine.
“Corked” wines. If you’ve ever had a wine that smelled or
tasted of mold, you’ve experienced a wine that may have
been “corked.” Today, between five and eight percent of
wines are tainted with Trichloroanisole (TCA). This
substance, found naturally in plants and trees, is imparted
to the wine through the cork. Corked wines are a major
concern for winemakers as it destroys millions of cases
per year and puts reputations at stake. Amazing as it may
seem twist-off caps may offer a better alternative and
many great wineries in California, Australia and New
Zealand are pioneering the trend.
Myth 3: When age worthy wines peak, they must be
consumed almost immediately.
Truth: Most great wines reach a plateau period rather
than a peak. Great Bordeaux’s may have as much as a
10-year plateau before fading.
Myth 4: Wine color does not change with aging.
Truth: As red wines age they get lighter in color while
whites get darker.

Common Tasting Terms IDEAL WINE STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Terminology Description
Acidity A critical element of wine that is responsible
for preserving the wines freshness. Excess
acidity results in an overly tart and sour
wine.
Balance A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity
are in total harmony. Wines with good
balance tend to age gracefully.
Body The weight and presence of wine in the
mouth provided by the alcohol and tannin
level. Full-bodied wines tend to have this
strong concentration.
Bouquet The blending of a wine’s aroma within the
bottle over a period of time, caused by
volatile acidity.
Complex A subjective term often used in tasting. A
wine is said to be complex if it offers a
variety of flavors and scents that continue to
evolve as it develops.
Flabby A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to
the taste, lacks acidity.
Full-Bodied Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally
speaking, fills the mouth, powerful.
Lean Generally describes wines that are slim,
lacking of generosity or thin.
Oaky A desirable flavor imparted to wine if done in
moderation. Most wines are aged in oak
barrels one to three years, thereby receiving
this toasty oak characteristic. However, if a
weak wine is left in contact too long with an
oak barrel it will tend to be overpowered with
an oaky taste.
Tannin Tannins are extracted from the grape skins
and stems and are necessary for a well-
balanced red wine. Tannins are easily
identified in wine tasting as the drying
sensation over the gums. Tannins generally
fade as a wine ages.
Temperature: The most important element about
storage temperature is stability. If wine is kept in a stable
environment between 40°F (7°C) and 65°F (21°C), it will
remain sound. A small 1-2 degree temperature fluctuation
within a stable environment is acceptable. Larger
temperature fluctuations can affect the corks ability to
seal, allowing the wine to “leak” from the bottle.
Humidity: The traditional view on humidity maintains
that wines should be stored on their sides in 50% - 80%
relative humidity to ensure cork moisture and proper fit in
the bottle. Contemporary wisdom suggests that the cork
surface is too small to be impacted by humidity. Further
the cork is sealed with a metal or wax capsule making
humidity penetration impossible. The concept of a humid
storage environment was derived from the necessity of
wineries to maintain moisture in their cellars to keep
wooden barrel staves swollen, preventing wine
evaporation and product loss. In fact, vineyards estimate
as much as a 10% product loss per year due to
evaporation while wine is aging in the wooden barrels.
Humidity, however, was not intended for the modern
home cellar where wine is stored in glass bottles with
sealed corks.
Light: UV rays are not only harmful to people, they are
damaging to wines - especially those in clear bottles.
Since oxygen molecules in wine absorb UV rays, wine
should never be stored in direct light for long periods of
time.
Vibration: Provided that sediment is left undistributed
and particles are not suspended, vibration in a storage
environment is not an issue. Wines can become flat or
tired when voids and vacuums are created inside the wine
bottle. In order to create voids and vacuums within a
liquid, aggressive motion or shaking of the wine bottle
would have to occur.

EXTERIOR CLEANING
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels and handles can discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish
monthly. For best results use Claire
Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line
Corporation (Part Number 173348). Comparable products
are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations
may require cleaning weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on
any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.

If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami
and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain.
Always finish with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner
or comparable product to prevent further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.
®
or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser®
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4" (6 mm) or more,
manually defrost the unit.
