General Precautions
2 Inspect and Plan
Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and
follow these general precautions along with those listed
throughout this guide:
You have received a carton containing your 2075WC or
2075WCOL Wine Captain® with a package inside
containing a User Manual, a Product Registration Card
and an Anti-Tip Bracket Installation Kit. 2075WCOL units
are shipped with a cardboard-wrapped door and an
additional package of hardware. Complete and mail
the Product Registration Card or register online at
the User Manual and this Installation Guide in a safe place
for future reference.
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding Required.
• Keep the unit unplugged throughout installation
except during testing.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
2075WC units are Black, White or Stainless Steel. Black
and White units have a reversible door with a slightly
contoured handle across the top. Stainless Steel units are
covered with a protective coating and have been ordered
left- or right-hand hinged. The Stainless doors are not
reversible.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.
• Always keep your working area dry.
CAUTION
2075WCOL units are Black with an unattached door that
requires the construction of a 3/4-inch thick wood overlay
frame. You must determine left- or right-hand opening
before construction.
• Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use
gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp edges.
• Do not lift the unit by the door or door handle.
• Do not install the unit behind closed doors or in any
way that would obstruct airflow to the front grille,
which may cause the unit to malfunction.
All units come with maple trim wine racks that can be
finished or stained. Please carefully follow the directions
that apply to your unit and your intended design.
Tools/Materials Required
• 7/64" Allen wrench (included in 2075WCOL hardware)
• Screwdrivers — slotted and Phillips head
• Sandpaper; low odor, water clean up, quick drying
finish; tack cloth and, if desired, water-based wood
stain and synthetic foam brush
• 3/4-inch overlay frame material, cutting tools, drill and
bits (2075WCOL units)
Inspection
Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface
capable of supporting its entire weight.
Removing Protective Coating
(Stainless Steel Units Only)
When inspecting/installing a Stainless Steel unit, the
protective coating covering the unit must be removed
first. Start at a corner of the unit/door and pull back the
protective coating to remove it from the unit/door.

the unit/door, clean all Stainless Steel surfaces with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product
or a mild detergent and warm water solution and soft
cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning agents.
Your U-Line product has been designed for either free-
standing or 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 electrical connection in the rear.
Note: If cleaning with mild detergent and warm water
solution and soft cloth, the unit MUST be treated with
Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent discoloration.
Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.
Exterior Cleaning
Cut-Out Dimensions
(As Required)
Black and White Models:
• The door, grille and cabinet 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.
Stainless Steel Models:
23-1/4"
• Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to
chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with
bleach.
7"
• Keep your stainless steel 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. (The part number
is 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 clean with steel wool pads.
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically
intended for stainless steel (this includes glass,
tile and counter cleaners).
• If any surface discolors 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.
• Use of abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite will
cause the graining in the stainless to become
blurred.
• 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.

Side-By-Side Installation
Instructions
4 Prepare Racks and Door Frame
The U-Line Wine Captain® 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 or
overlay frame. The trim on the racks may be coated with a
final finish or stained.
For a complete refreshment center, install your 2075WC or
2075WCOL unit beside a U-Line Refrigerator, Ice Maker or
that each Side-By-Side Installation will be different.
• Cut-out width for a side-by-side installation is the total
of the widths listed under Cut-Out Dimensions in each
unit’s Installation Guide.
2075WCOL Models are designed for, and require
installation of, an Overlay Frame.
For example:
Placing a 2075 Wine Captain® next to a 2015 series unit
would require a cut-out width of:
24-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 39-3/8"
If none of these treatments are to be included in this
installation, go on to 5 Adjust Door.
CAUTION
Placing a 2075 Wine Captain® next to a 2075 series unit
would require a cut-out width of:
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of the
Wine Captain®, the wine rack 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 stain/finish manufacturer’s
instructions prior to re-installing the wood trim inside the
cabinet of the Wine Captain®. Failure to do so may cause
the inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor,
which is not covered by the warranty.
24-3/16" + 24-3/16" = 48-3/8"
•
No trim kit is required. However, 1/4-inch space needs to
be maintained between the units to ensure
unobstructed door swing.
• Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
Electrical Specifications.
