racks that allow for the proper horizontal storage of  
wine. The corks remain moist, which keeps air from  
entering the bottles.  
a. Stainless steel units feature a wrapped 2 in. (5.1 cm)  
wide door frame, handle. Stainless steel doors are  
not field reversible.  
b. Black units feature a seamless 1-1/2 in. (3.8 cm) wide  
door frame with a slightly contoured top mount  
integrated door handle that is field reversible and  
easy to maintain.  
Models 2115WC and 2115WCOL2 will accommodate up to  
24 bottles (750 mL size), and Models 2175WC and  
2175WCOL2 will accommodate up to 48 bottles (750 mL

provided, and not supplied by U-Line.  
The Right Temperature for Wine  
• Self-closing door hinges that engage when the door is  
open approximately 8-10 in. (20.3-25.4 cm), ensure a  
positive door seal and prevents door bounce back.  
Your Wine Captain has been designed to provide three  
temperature zones within the cabinet so the specific  
storage requirements of your finest wines can be satisfied.  
• Stainless steel models feature a full wrap stainless steel  
cabinet.  
Superior Features of Échelon  
• An electronic control panel with digital display allows  
you to display the interior temperature in each zone.  
The unit is shipped from the factory with a default  
temperature of 50°F. The controller only controls the  
middle zone. This zone can be set from 45-54°F. The  
upper zone will be approximately 5-6°F warmer and  
the lower zone will be approximately 5-6°F cooler than  
the middle zone. The electronic control and digital  
display provide an attractive appearance, and its  
method of control provides precise temperatures for  
storage of multiple types of wine.  
• An optional commercial handle is available through  
the dealer to further customize your unit.  
• Black models feature a vinyl clad steel cabinet that  
provides a rich textured look, and resists scratching,  
peeling and flaking.  
• Wine Captain Models are not recommended for  
outdoor use.  
• Wine Captain Models installed in either a free-standing  
or built-in configuration must be anchored to prevent  
tipping, using the originally provided anti-tip kit.  
• An interior light will illuminate automatically as the  
door is opened, providing easy visual identification of  
the wine. However, you can easily select two other  
modes of operation:  
Features and specifications are subject to change without  
notice.  
a. The interior light can be illuminated while the door  
is closed, providing an attractive display of your  
wine collection for a period of four hours.

Before Calling for Service  
®
manufactured products (such as Corian or Sandstone).  
If your U-Line product appears to be malfunctioning, read  
through the OPERATION section of this guide to ensure  
that the function of all controls are clearly understood. If  
the malfunction persists, the TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE  
in this guide will assist you in quickly identifying common  
problems, and provide information on possible causes and  
remedies. Most often, this will resolve the problem  
without the need to call for service.  
• Five fully extendable sliding wine racks provide easy  
access to all wine bottles.  
• 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.

Suggestions for Matching Food and Wine  
DANGER  
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.  
RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPEMENT. Before you throw  
away your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the  
doors and leave shelves in place so that children  
may not easily climb inside.  
3. Remove the cabinet door.  
As a general rule, one should aim to ascend in flavor and  
quality of wines served.

Wine Selections Suggestions

LIGHT-BODIED 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.  
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.

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.

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  
12 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 evaporator (Figure  
9, 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.  
• 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)  
1
• 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.  
ULIN_0187_A  
• 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.

To defrost:  
CAUTION  
1. Turn unit off.  
DO NOT use any type of cleaner on the condenser  
unit.  
2. Remove all products from the interior and prop the  
door in an open position (2 in. (5 cm) minimum).  
4. Clean the condenser coil (Figure 10, 2) using a soft  
brush with a “combing” action or vacuum cleaner. Do

®
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. The  
trim on the racks may be coated with a final finish or  
stained.  
IMPORTANT  
ALWAYS use a genuine U-Line replacement bulb (P/N  
31317) in the light housing. Use of any other bulb  
within the housing will generate excessive heat,  
causing damage to the light housing and cabinet  
interior, and will compromise the precise  
temperature control of your unit.

6. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of  
WARNING  
®
®
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.  
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.  
7. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before  
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.  
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.  
Final finish-only application:  
1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior  
components, and remove the trim.  
2. Lightly scruff sand the wood trim with 280 or finer grit  
sandpaper.  
NOTE: Glass in door is tinted. Stain may look darker  
when door is closed.  
3. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.  
Staining and final finish application:  
4. The factory-applied seal is compatible with virtually all  
finishes. A low odor, water clean up, quick-drying finish

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.  
NOTE: Your model will contain an electronic display panel  
in the lowest level trim piece. After removing the trim  
screws, and gently pulling the trim from its location, a  
wiring harness connector will become visible. Unplug the  
connector, and remove the trim from the interior.  
5. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.  
6. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before  
IMPORTANT  
reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.  
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.
