Échelon Beverage Models feature either a stainless steel
or full overlay-ready door frame.
4 Product Features
a. Stainless steel units feature a wrapped 2 in. (5.1 cm)
wide door frame, handle. Stainless steel doors are
not field-reversible.
Échelon Beverage Center
The Model 2175BEVS, 2175BEVOL Beverage Center will
accommodate up to 16 standard 750 mL bottles of your
favorite wines on its two upper, fully extendable, sliding
wine racks. The Beverage Center also provides generous
storage for non-wine beverages on two lower tempered
shelves.
b. Door full overlay wood frames are customer-
provided, and are not supplied by U-Line.
Features and specifications are subject to change without
notice.
The Right Temperature for Wine
Your Beverage Center has been designed to provide two
temperature zones within the cabinet so the specific
storage requirements of your beverages can be satisfied.
The upper wine rack zone maintains an approximate
temperature of 45°F, and the lower shelf zone maintains
an approximate temperature of 38°F. NOTE: Product

Suggestions for Matching Food and
Wine
6 Wine Guide
Wine Selections Suggestions
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.
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.
As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and
quality of wines served.
Table 1
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
Serve a:

discovering for fear of embarrassment if something is
incorrect. Wine is best viewed as a hobby and enjoyed.
WHITE wine
YOUNG wine
LIGHT-BODIED wine
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. In many
instances an “Off Year” will provide a better value and
more drinking enjoyment.
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.
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.

Common Tasting Terms
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
Body
A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity are in total harmony. Wines with good balance tend to age
gracefully.
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
Complex
The blending of a wine's aroma within the bottle over a period of time, caused by volatile acidity.
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
Full-Bodied
Lean
A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to the taste, lacks acidity.
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.

Maintenance
7 Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper maintenance of your U-Line product will ensure
efficiency, top performance and long life. The
maintenance intervals listed are based on normal
conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you
have pets or other special considerations.
General Cleaning
Exterior Cleaning (As Required)
Surfaces may be cleaned 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.
Defrosting
Automatic (Cycle) Defrost Models
Automatic defrost models do not produce frost in normal
operating conditions. However, a frost pattern may be
noticed on the interior walls if the unit is repeatedly
opened in a high heat or high humidity location. If this
frost pattern does not clear within 24 hours, your unit will
require manual defrosting.
Stainless Steel Doors:
• Stainless steel surfaces and components can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt
water or cleaners with bleach.
• Keep your stainless steel unit looking new by cleaning
with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/
WARNING
®
polish on a monthly basis. For best results use Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be
purchased from U-Line Corporation (P/N 173348).
Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent
cleaning will remove surface contamination that could
lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
on a weekly basis.
DO NOT use any type of electrical heating device,
ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to
defrost; this could damage the inner lining or
refrigeration system and void the warranty.
IMPORTANT
• Do not clean with steel wool pads.
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 (Figure
8, 1), before defrosting.
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically
intended for stainless steel on stainless steel
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 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.
• Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
• Rust that is not cleaned up promptly can penetrate into
the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal
of the rust may not be possible.
Interior Cleaning (As Required)
• Disconnect power to the unit. Clean the interior and all
removed components using a mild non-abrasive
detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft
sponge or non-abrasive cloth. Rinse the interior using a
soft sponge and clean water.
• Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transmit
taste to the interior products and damage or
discolor the interior.

Wood Trim Finishing
The U-Line Beverage Center is equipped with wood-
trimmed wine racks that are coated at the factory with a
clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood
in normal usage. A final finish coat was not applied so
that the wood trim could be stained to match décor. The
trim on the racks may be coated with a final finish or
stained.
Staining and final finish application:
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior
components, and remove the trim from the cabinet
interior.
IMPORTANT
To remove the wood trim surrounding the controller:
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.
®
2. Apply Minwax Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with
a synthetic bristle brush or a foam applicator. Allow
stain to penetrate approximately three minutes. Before
the stain is dry, take a stain dampened rag and remove
any excess stain remaining. Wipe in the direction of the
grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain
color.

1. Loosen the two screws holding the controller to the
mounting bracket (Figure 18, 1).
5. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to
smooth the surface after the staining process.
2. Lift the controller housing (Figure 18, 4) and then
rotate forward to expose the wiring harness on the
back.
6. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of

Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish using a synthetic
bristle brush to the wood. This finish should be applied
in a thin coat following the direction of 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 addition coats of the finish in the same manner, but
do not sand the trim after the final third coat is applied.
3. Disconnect the wiring harness from the controller
(Figure 18, 3)
.
4. Remove the two screws holding in the controller
housing (Figure 18, 2), then remove from wood.
NOTE: Carefully remove controller from housing. The
glass front is not secured to the controller. Glass may fall
and break, which is not covered under warranty.

reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.
Final finish-only application:
WARNING
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior
components, and remove the trim.
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner
of your unit, the wood trim MUST be removed
from the unit for staining and/or finishing. Allow
stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours
per coat) in accordance with the product
manufacturer’s instructions prior to
reinstallation. Failure to do so may cause the
inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor,
which is not covered by the warranty.
2. Lightly scruff 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 virtually 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.
If staining the trim is desired, it must be done before the
application of any type of final finish. Review the
following staining/final finish and final finish-only
guidelines when staining/ and or sealing the wood to
ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.
5. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.
6. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.
