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.

2075WC/2075WCOL Wine Captain®  
After all the protective coating has been removed from  
3 Prepare Site  
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.  
1-1/2"  
24-3/16"  
Figure 1  
Follow the cut-out drawing in Figure 1. The 24-3/16"  
width allows 1/4" for ease in installation and removal of  
the unit. 24" is the counter depth in most installations.  
The unit is 23-1/4" deep including the handle on Black  
and White 2075WC models, 23-1/4" deep including the  
wood overlay frame on 2075WCOL models and 23-1/4"  
deep including the door and not the handle on Stainless  
Steel models (see Figure 2).  
• 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  
Combo Model (see Figure 11 for typical cut-out). Note  
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.

2. If a user-supplied cabinet handle will be used, attach its  
hardware to the overlay frame at this time.  
IMPORTANT  
User-supplied cabinet handle MUST be counter bored to  
make sure mounting hardware is below surface of overlay  
frame. Failure to do so can cause damage to overlay  
frame and/or door. Overlay frame will not sit flush to door  
if mounting hardware is not counter bored.
