• Wine racks have a contoured maple front trim that  
adds a fashionable appearance to Wine Captain. The  
wood facing may be stained or replaced in its entirety  
with other woods or manufactured products (such as  
4 Product Features  
Échelon Wine Captain  
Model 2175DWRWC  
®
Corian or Sandstone).  
• Black vinyl wine racks blend with the wine bottles,  
placing greater emphasis on the wines themselves. The  
vinyl holds the wine bottles more effectively than a  
chromed or painted finish.  
Your U-Line Wine Captain is the industry’s only built-in  
under the counter two drawer wine storage unit with  
dual zone temperature control and up to 43 bottle (750  
mL size) capacity. Your Wine Captain will accommodate  
up to 24 bottles in the top drawer and up to 19 bottles in  
the bottom drawer. The bottom drawer also includes a  
wine caddy for elegant transportation and service of  
three bottles of wine. Specially designed cascading, fully  
extendable, wine racks in both drawers allow for the  
proper horizontal storage and presentation of the wine.  
The corks remain moist, which keeps air from entering the  
bottles.  
• All units feature a vinyl clad steel cabinet that provides  
a rich textured look, and resists scratching, peeling and  
flaking.  
• Stainless steel unit drawers feature a stainless steel  
wrap and sculpted stainless handles.  
• Both drawers feature tinted thermal glass that protects  
your wines from potentially harmful light rays while  
providing a very fashionable appearance.  
• Wine Captain models are not recommended for  
outdoor use.  
The Right Temperature for Wine  
Your Wine Captain is designed to provide a temperature  
zone in each drawer, adjustable between 40 - 60°F, so the  
specific storage requirements of your finest wines can be  
satisfied.  
NOTE: Product temperatures, not air temperatures, are  
referenced above.  
• The Model 2175DWRWC Wine Captain cannot be  
configured for a free-standing installation. It must be  
installed as a built-in, under counter unit, and must be  
anchored to prevent tipping using the originally  
provided anti-tip kit.  
Features and specifications are subject to change without  
notice.  
Features of Échelon Wine Captain  
• An electronic control panel with digital display allows  
you to display the actual temperature in each drawer,  
and adjust the individual temperature setting to your  
personal preference. The electronic control and digital  
display provides an attractive appearance, and its  
method of control provides precise temperatures for  
storage of one or multiple types of wine.  
• An interior light will illuminate automatically in each  
drawer as it is opened, providing easy visual  
identification of the wine. However, you can easily  
select two other modes of operation:  
a. Interior lights in both drawers can be illuminated  
while the drawers are closed, providing an  
attractive display of your wine collection.  
b. A blackout/Sabbath mode (not Star K certified)  
allows you to darken both interior lights and the  
LED display, while maintaining complete  
temperature control in both drawers. NOTE: On  
Drawer Wine Captain units, the lights will still be  
active and will light when either drawer is opened  
and unit is in blackout/Sabbath mode. User will  
need to remove the light bulb from socket to  
prevent lights from coming on when drawers are  
opened.  
• Automatic (cycle) defrost means maintenance-free  
defrosting.  
• Cascading wine racks present the wine bottles to you  
and provide an unobstructed view of the bottle labels.

To enter the blackout mode:  
IMPORTANT  
Touch and hold the LIGHT icon for approximately 15  
seconds. This will turn off both display temperatures and  
the cabinet lights. The unit will continue to maintain the  
compartment set-point temperatures even though they  
are not displayed.  
Proper air flow is required for your unit to operate  
at its highest efficiently. A grille, located in the base  
of the unit, must not be blocked at any time, or  
your unit will not perform as expected (Figure 2).  
Initial Startup  
To exit the blackout mode:  
All U-Line units are shipped with controls that are preset.  
No initial adjustments are required.  
Touch and hold the LIGHT icon for 10 seconds. The unit  
will come out of blackout mode, the set-points will display  
and the lighting function will be in one of the four  
scrolled positions.  
IMPORTANT  
U-Line recommends the unit be allowed to run  
overnight prior to loading with product.  
NOTE: When the unit is in blackout mode, the light will  
come on automatically if the drawer is opened. If you do  
no want the lights to come on when the drawers are  
opened, the light bulbs must be removed. Refer to LIGHT  
BULB REPLACEMENT. A flashing indicator light (LED dot)  
indicates a thermistor error in that drawer. Call for service.

of the components listed.  
Wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before  
checking the actual temperature again. Each wine  
compartment can be set to 40-60°F.  
Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing  
sound that may be heard when it operates.  
Checking Product Temperature  
Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator  
may sound like boiling liquid.  
Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be  
heard.  
Automatic Defrost/Drain Pan: Water may be heard  
dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in  
the defrost cycle.

Wine Stocking Recommendations  
Specially designed wine racks allow for the proper  
horizontal storage of wine. The bottles are properly  
positioned so that the wine remains in contact with the  
cork to assure that the cork does not become dry.  
Cascading Wine Racks  
The U-Line Wine Captain drawers are equipped with a  
proprietary mechanism that allows the wine racks to  
automatically cascade outward as each drawer is opened.  
This feature provides bottle presentation upon opening,  
maximizes access to the bottles and enables easy  
identification of the bottles/labels.  
ULIN_0242_A

• Open the drawers of the Wine Captain with a slow and  
steady motion. The interior racks in the drawers will  
cascade toward you.  
drawer (Figure 8)  
.
The cascade mechanisms can be easily removed if desired  
(See MAINTENANCE: DISABLING THE CASCADE FEATURE).  
NOTE: By design, if either drawer is abruptly opened, the  
cascading mechanism will disengage and the racks will  
NOT automatically cascade outward but will remain in the  
cabinet. However, because the racks slide manually, you  
can still easily access the wine.  
Wine Caddy  
• Close the drawer slowly, and the cascading racks will be  
pushed back into their retracted position.  
NOTE: If the cascade mechanism disengages because of  
an abrupt opening, it will automatically re-engage as the  
drawer is closed, and operate normally the next time the  
drawer is opened.  
Stock your unit as follows:  
ULIN_0050_A  
Figure 9  
The bottom drawer includes a three bottle caddy  
(Figure 9) for elegant transportation and wine service.  
To access and remove the bottle caddy:  
1. Open the bottom drawer fully and grasp the caddy  
handle from either side.  
ULIN_0243_A  
Figure 7  
2. While supporting the bottom of the caddy with one  
hand, slowly and gently pull it out from under the  
drawer.  
1. The bottom drawer should be stocked first. Open the  
drawer, and beginning at the back of the lowest rack  
work forward, staggering the bottles as shown  
(Figure 7).  
3. Close the drawer completely.  
To replace the bottle caddy:  
2. Stock the second rack in the same manner.  
3. Close the drawer slowly.  
1. Open the bottom drawer fully.  
2. Support the bottom of the caddy with one hand while  
picking up the caddy. Gently slide the caddy into place  
under the drawer.

Storage, Vacation, Moving  
6 Wine Guide  
If the unit will not be used for an extended period, or  
otherwise stored, follow these steps completely:  
Wine Recommendations  
WARNING  
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. The U-Line  
Corporation is proud to present Spilling Wine Secrets  
moment to explore this section of our website to uncover  
wine myths, learn ideal storage conditions or ask our wine  
expert, Mr. Dave Barna, a specific question relating to  
wine. Mr. Barna will respond to your inquiry, and it may  
also be selected to appear on our Questions and Answers  
page.  
Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before  
servicing. Before operating, replace all panels.  
Failure to do so may result in death or electrical  
shock.  
1. Remove all consumable contents from the unit.  
2. Disconnect the power cord from its outlet, and leave it  
disconnected until the unit is returned to service.  
3. Clean and dry the interior of the cabinet (See CLEANING  
AND MAINTENANCE: GENERAL CLEANING).  
Wine Selections Suggestions  
4. During periods of non-use, the cabinet must remain  
open to prevent the formation of mold and mildew.  
Open drawer a minimum of 2" (5 cm) to provide the  
necessary ventilation.  
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.  
Product Disposal  
If the unit is being removed from service for disposal,  
check and obey all Federal, State and/or Local regulations  
regarding the disposal and recycling of refrigeration  
appliances, and follow these steps completely:  
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.  
1. Remove all consumable contents from the unit.  
2. Disconnect power to the unit and unplug the power  
cord from its outlet.  
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.  
DANGER  
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPEMENT. Before you throw  
away your old unit, remove the drawers.  
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.

Suggestions for 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.  
Table 1  
Serve a:  
Before a:  
DRY wine  
SWEET wine  
RED wine  
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.

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  
General Cleaning  
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.  
Exterior Cleaning (As Required)  
Black Models:  
Defrosting  
• 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.  
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 Models:  
• Stainless steel surfaces and components can discolor  
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt  
water or cleaners with bleach.  
WARNING  
• Keep your stainless steel unit looking new by cleaning  
with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/  
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.  
®
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.  
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 evaporators (Figure  
10, 1), before defrosting.  
• Do not clean with steel wool pads.  
• 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.  
1
• 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.

6. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of  
Wood Trim Finishing  
®
®
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.  
Interior components of your U-Line unit are equipped  
with a natural wood trim for appearance and durability.  
Although this wood trim has been coated with a clear  
sealer at the factory, it is recommended that the trim be  
stained (if desired), and receive a final finish coating prior  
to the unit going into full-time service.  
WARNING  
7. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before  
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

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.  
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.  
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.  
Staining and final finish application:  
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior  
components, and remove the trim from the cabinet  
interior.  
5. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.  
6. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before  
NOTE: Your model may contain an electronic display  
panel in the lowest level trim piece. After removing the  
trim screws, and gently pulling the trim from its location,

reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.  
IMPORTANT  
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.  
3. After two hours, repeat step 2. This will even out the  
color of the wood.  
4. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before  
applying the final finish.  
5. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to  
smooth the surface after the staining process.
