5 Food Storage  
Drawers  
IMPORTANT  
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.  
The drawers should only be removed for servicing by a trained and  
certified repair personal.  
Top Storage Bi n  
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.  
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.  
Crisper  
1
Some models are equipped with a cripser 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.

6 U-Line Wine Guide  
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.  
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.  
As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and quality of  
wines served.  
Wine Selections Suggestions  
Serve a:  
DRY wine  
Before a:  
SWEET wine  
RED wine  
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.  
WHITE wine  
YOUNG wine  
LIGHT-BODIED wine  
OLD 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.  
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.  
Common Food and Wine Matches  
Foods  
Wines  
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.  
Fish, Shell Fish, Crab, Oysters  
Dry White Wines, Light Sparkling  
or Extra Dry Champagne  
Beef, Venison  
Pork, Veal, Lamb and Poultry

Full-Bodied Red Wines  
Light-Bodied Red Wines  
Sweet White and Sparkling Wines  
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.  
A Toast to Wine Truths  
Guide To Common Styles Of Wine  
Like the grapes themselves, many wine myths have been cultivated  
over the centuries.  
Red Wines  
Full-Bodied Dry  
California  
French  
Italian  
Zinfandel, Cabernet  
Rhone, Chateauneuf-du-  
Pape  
Myth 1: Most wines taste better when aged.  
Barbaresco, Barolo  
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.  
Medium-Bodied Dry  
Light-Bodied Dry  
California  
French  
Pinot Noir  
Bordeaux, Burgundy  
French  
Italian  
Beaujolais  
Chianti, Bardolino  
Myth 2: Wines should be uncorked and decanted allowing them  
to "breathe."  
White Wines  
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.  
Full-Bodied Dry  
California  
French  
Chardonnay  
Montrachet, Meursault  
Puligny-Montrachet  
Medium-Bodied Dry  
California  
French  
Sauvignon-Blanc  
Pouilly-Fuisse, Sancerre,  
Vouvray, Graves  
Myth 3: When age worthy wines peak, they must be consumed  
almost immediately.  
Light-Bodied Dry  
French  
Chablis, Muscadet, Pouilly-  
Fume  
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.  
Full-Bodied, Very Sweet  
Germany  
Frency  
Hungary  
Beerenauslese  
Sauternes  
Tokay  
Medium-Bodied, Semi-  
Sweet  
California  
Germany  
Gewurtztraminer  
Liebfraumilch  
Myth 4: Wine color does not change with aging.  
Truth: As red wines age they get lighter in color while whites get  
darker.  
Light-Bodied Off Dry

The Cork: A Mystery on Its Own.  
Ideal Wine Storage Considerations  
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.  
Temperature: The most important element about storage  
temperature is stability. If wine is kept in a stable environment  
between 40°F and 65°F, 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.  
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.  
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.  
Common Tasting Terms  
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.  
Te rm in olog y  
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  
Body  
A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity are  
in total harmony. Wines with good balance tend  
to age gracefully.  
The Right Temperature for Wine  
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.

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.  
Wine Captain® Models - A Touch of Elegance  
Flabby  
Full-Bodied  
Lean  
A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to the  
taste, lacks acidity.  
In 1985 U-Line was the first North American appliance manufac-  
turer to develop a residential wine storage unit, the Wine Cap-  
tain®. Each U-Line Wine Captain® model is designed to impress  
and inspire anyone with an interest in wine by providing cellar con-  
ditions in stylish, undercounter units. U-Line Wine Captain models  
offer stable storage temperatures, a 50% internal relative humidity  
and protection from UV light rays. U-Line has the largest product  
offering available, making storing, presenting, and sharing your wine  
effortless and elegant.  
Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally  
speaking, fills the mouth, powerful.  
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.

Wine Stocking Recommendation  
Wine Rack Removal and Installation  
Specially designed horizontal wine racks properly positioned the  
bottles so the wine remains in contact with the cork and assure  
the cork does not become dry.  
To remove a rack from the cabinet:  
1. Remove any bottles stored on the rack.  
2. Grasp the end of the rack, and gently slide it out until it stops.  
Stock the unit as follows:  
1. Stock the wine racks beginning with the lowest rack, at the  
back, and working forward. Stagger the bottles as shown.  
3. Press the left rack release lever down. At the same time, lift the  
matching right rack release lever up. Pull the rack out until it is  
free of the tracks and the cabinet.  
2. Repeat Step 1 to stock the next higher rack, and continue until  
all racks are filled.  
NOTE: After stocking, allow unit to run 24 hours to  
stabilize product temperatures.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not remove the track rails from the cabinet.  
To insert a rack in the cabinet:  
Align the left and right rack channels with the tracks in the cabinet.  
Ensure an even track engagement on both sides by gently pushing  
the rack into the cabinet until it stops.  
Before reloading the rack, ensure proper movement of the  
travel stops in the left and right track rails by pulling the rack

Wood Trim Finishing  
Staining and final finish application:  
IMPORTANT  
WARNING  
You MUST remove the wood trim from the unit for  
staining or finishing to prevent permanent damage to  
the inner liner of the unit. Allow stain or finish to dry  
thoroughly (at least 24 hours for each coat) following  
the product manufacturer’s instructions before  
reinstallation. Not following this warning may cause the  
inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor, which  
the warranty will not cover.  
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.  
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior parts, and  
remove the trim from the cabinet interior.  
2. Lightly sand and clean wood.  
®
U-Line products featuring wine storage include wood-trimmed  
wine racks.  
3. Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with a  
synthetic bristle brush or a foam applicator. Allow stain to  
penetrate about three minutes. Before the stain is dry, take a  
stain dampened rag and remove any excess stain remaining.  
Wipe towards the grain with medium pressure to achieve the  
desired stain color.  
Models with wood colored wood trim come factory coated with a  
clear vinyl sealer without a finish coat applied, which will  
sufficiently protect the wood in normal use. You may coat the trim  
on the racks with stain or a final finish following these guidelines. If  
using custom wood trim also follow these guidelines.  
4. After two hours, repeat step 2. This will even out the color of  
the wood.  
If staining the trim, stain before applying any final finish. Review the  
following staining and final finish application and final finish-only  
application guidelines when staining or sealing the wood to ensure  
proper adhesion and durability of the finish.  
5. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before applying  
the final finish.  
6. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth  
the surface after staining.  
NOTE: On glass door models the stain may look darker  
with the door closed looking through the glass.  
®
7. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of Minwax  
®
Polycrylic Protective Finish using a synthetic bristle brush to  
the wood. Apply this finish in a thin coat following towards 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 morel coats of  
finish in the same manner, but do not sand the trim after  
applying the final third coat.  
8. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before reinstalling the  
trim to the cabinet interior parts.  
Final finish-only application:  
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior parts, and  
remove the trim.  
2. Lightly scuff 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 almost all finishes. A  
®
low odor, water clean up, quick-drying finish such as Minwax  
®
®
Polycrylic Protective Finish is recommended (Minwax  
®
Polycrylic is an ultra fast-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.  
Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before reinstalling  
the trim to the cabinet interior parts.

9 Cleaning  
Defrosting  
Exterior Cleaning  
Automatic Defrost Models  
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models:  
Frost on the rear wall is normal and will melt during each off cycle.  
If there is excessive build-up of 1/4” or more, manually defrost the  
unit.  
Clean surfaces 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.  
Ensure the door is closing and sealing properly.  
High ambient temperature and excessive humidity can also  
produce frost.  
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.  
Stainless Models:  
CAUTION  
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when  
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners  
with bleach.  
DO NOT use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to  
help speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture  
the inner lining or damage the cooling unit. DO NOT use  
any type of heater to defrost. Using a heater to speed up  
defrosting can cause personal injury and damage to the  
inner lining.  
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good  
quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner polish monthly. For best  
results use Claire® Stainless Steel 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.  
IMPORTANT  
The drain pan was not designed to capture the water  
created when manually defrosting. To prevent water from  
overflowing the drain pan, place towels or other absorbent  
materials over the interior drain trough, under the  
evaporator (1), before defrosting.  
Do not clean with steel wool pads.  
Do not use stainless steel cleaners polishes on any glass  
surfaces.  
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.  
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for  
stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this includes glass,  
tile and counter cleaners).  
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it quickly  
with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and a  
nonabrasive cloth. Always clean towards 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 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.

ABOUT U-LINE  
Building on 45 years, U-Line has captivated those with an appreciation for the finer things with exceptional  
design, inspired innovations and attention to even the smallest details.  
U-Line is synonymous with premium built-in undercounter ice making, refrigeration and wine storage appli-  
ances, the U-Line Corporation is committed to luxury under the counter. U-Line is known and respected for  
unwavering dedication to product innovation, quality and selection. A bold and broad line of models is the prod-  
uct of visionaries in the pursuit of distinctive living environments in the kitchen and spaces beyond.  
In 1962, Henry Uihlein founded U-Line Corporation as an outgrowth of Ben-Hur Freezer Company and was

which innovations continue to be born.  
Going forward, U-Line will continue offering best-in-class products that build on the company's numerous pat-  
ents and world firsts to guide the undercounter industry in realizing its unlimited potential.
