Cutout Dimensions
PREPARE SITE
Your U-Line product has been designed exclusively for a
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.
The product is designed and manufactured for seamless
integration in the specified cutout opening shown, which
requires precise measurements. The opening must be
square and plumb front to back. Although not required,
you may choose to increase the overall cutout width for
ease of installation.
The Modular 3000 Series units are engineered with a
variety of adjustment features to help ensure a seamless
installation. Adjustable doors, leveling legs and grille will
assist in fine tuning the installation.
All 3000 Series models fully integrate into overlay/face
frame, inset or European/frameless cabinet styles and
install seamlessly into standard 24" (610 mm) depth
cabinet base.

General Installation
1. Use a level to confirm
the unit is level. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side
edge as shown.
2. If the unit is not level,
remove grille and
adjust legs as
necessary. Use
included tool to adjust the height of the rear legs.
3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cutout
opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1/8" (3 mm) less than the opening’s rear height.
Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front
legs. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the
opening. Adjust the front legs to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to
entangle the cord.
3. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to
side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top
surface should be approximately 1/8" (3 mm) below
the countertop.
4. Install the anti-tip bracket.
5. Remove the interior packing material and wipe out the
inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.

U-Line Wine Guide
LOOKING BEHIND THE LABEL
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.
WINE SELECTIONS SUGGESTIONS
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.
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. Often an “Off Year”
will provide a better value and more drinking enjoyment.
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.
Guide To Common Styles Of Wine
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.
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 Food and Wine Matches
A Toast to Wine Truths
Like the grapes themselves, many wine myths have been
cultivated over the centuries.
Myth 1: Most wines taste better when aged.
Truth: In fact, less than 5% of wines produced today are
meant to be aged. Most wines are crafted to be consumed
within the first one to two years.
Myth 2: Wines should be uncorked and decanted allowing
them to “breathe.”
Truth: To breathe or not breathe? While it is better to
allow a young tannic Red to breathe in a glass or decanter
to soften the tannins, an old Red reaches a stage in its life
where it should be enjoyed soon after opening. Allow an
old Red to breathe for a short time to dissipate any off
odors. Most white wines can be served, ideally, 10-15
minutes after opening.
Myth 3: When age worthy wines peak, they must be
consumed almost immediately.
Truth: Most great wines reach a plateau period rather
than a peak. Great Bordeaux’s may have as much as a
10-year plateau before fading.
Myth 4: Wine color does not change with aging.
Truth: As red wines age they get lighter in color while
whites get darker.
The Cork: A Mystery on Its Own
Cork Presentation. The ritual of the presentation of the
cork has a rich and fascinating history dating back to the
late 1800’s. A phylloxera (root louse) devastation to the
vineyards severely limited the supply of great wines.
Restaurateurs would remove labels on inferior wines and
replace them with labels from superior wines. This made it
necessary for patrons to protect themselves by checking
the branding on the cork to ensure that what they ordered
was, in fact, what they were served.
When presented with a cork today, feel it to check for its
integrity, read and match the branding on the cork to the
bottle and set it aside. There is little to be learned from
the cork. The proof is in the wine.
“Corked” wines. If you’ve ever had a wine that smelled or
tasted of mold, you’ve experienced a wine that may have
been “corked.” Today, between five and eight percent of
wines are tainted with Trichloroanisole (TCA). This
substance, found naturally in plants and trees, is imparted
to the wine through the cork. Corked wines are a major
concern for winemakers as it destroys millions of cases
per year and puts reputations at stake. Amazing as it may
seem twist-off caps may offer a better alternative and
many great wineries in California, Australia and New
Zealand are pioneering the trend.

Common Tasting Terms IDEAL WINE STORAGE CONSIDERATIONS
Temperature: The most important element about
storage temperature is stability. If wine is kept in a stable
environment between 40°F (7°C) and 65°F (21°C), it will
remain sound. A small 1-2 degree temperature fluctuation
within a stable environment is acceptable. Larger
temperature fluctuations can affect the corks ability to
seal, allowing the wine to “leak” from the bottle.
Humidity: The traditional view on humidity maintains
that wines should be stored on their sides in 50% - 80%
relative humidity to ensure cork moisture and proper fit in
the bottle. Contemporary wisdom suggests that the cork
surface is too small to be impacted by humidity. Further
the cork is sealed with a metal or wax capsule making
humidity penetration impossible. The concept of a humid
storage environment was derived from the necessity of
wineries to maintain moisture in their cellars to keep
wooden barrel staves swollen, preventing wine
evaporation and product loss. In fact, vineyards estimate
as much as a 10% product loss per year due to
evaporation while wine is aging in the wooden barrels.
Humidity, however, was not intended for the modern
home cellar where wine is stored in glass bottles with
sealed corks.
Light: UV rays are not only harmful to people, they are
damaging to wines - especially those in clear bottles.
Since oxygen molecules in wine absorb UV rays, wine
should never be stored in direct light for long periods of
time.
Vibration: Provided that sediment is left undistributed
and particles are not suspended, vibration in a storage
environment is not an issue. Wines can become flat or
tired when voids and vacuums are created inside the wine
bottle. In order to create voids and vacuums within a
liquid, aggressive motion or shaking of the wine bottle
would have to occur.
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 A desired trait where tannin, fruit and acidity
are in total harmony. Wines with good
balance tend to age gracefully.
Body 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 The blending of a wine’s aroma within the
bottle over a period of time, caused by
volatile acidity.
Complex 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 A wine that lacks structure, or is heavy to
the taste, lacks acidity.
Full-Bodied Wine high in alcohol and extract, generally
speaking, fills the mouth, powerful.
Lean 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.

MAIN CONTROL
The main control board is very robust and is rarely the
cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose
the board for any suspected failures before attempting to
remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the
guidelines below to fully test and diagnose the main
control.
Power Fault
If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the
flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before
beginning it is important to first verify the unit is not
simply set to sabbath mode.
Testing The Main Control
If the main control is suspected of being faulty, the
following procedure should be performed to verify main
control for functionality.
Relay & DC Outputs
One of the primary functions of the main control is to
operate the multiple relay and DC outputs during each
cycle. Verify proper operation of these relays using the
following procedure.
1. Enter “Relay Toggle” through the service menu.
NOTICE
Frequently toggling the compressor relay could
force the compressor into overload. The
compressor will automatically deactivate during
an overload and will remain deactivated until the
overload switch cools. This could take some
time. It is important to allow the compressor at
least 5 minutes off time between relay cycles.
2. Toggle the relay. Its related component should
activate / deactivate with the switching of the relay. If
it does not, see “Component Testing.”
Inputs
The main control monitors a number of thermistor inputs
and switch states during operation. It would be unlikely
that an error in reading an input would be at the board
level. Always attempt to replace the faulty switch or
thermistor input with a known working sample to verify
proper board operation.

SAFETY • INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION • OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE
Other Suspected Main Control Faults
If other components have been ruled out as being faulty
but the unit continues to have operating issues, it is most
likely due to a configuration error. Configuration errors
can be cleared by restoring the unit to its factory default
setting. Factory defaults may be restored through the
service menu.
CAUTION
!
Precautions must be taken while working with
live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow
proper safety procedures while performing tests
on live systems.
CONVECTION COOLING
All 3000 series units are equipped with an advanced
convection cooling system. Convection cooling stabilizes
cabinet temperature, cools product faster and increases
energy efficiency.
Evaporator Fan
The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air
from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back
into the refrigerated zone.
The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay
at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the
evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed
over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2
minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can
be modified through the service menu.
Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door
switch state. If the door switch circuit opens the fan will
stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will
either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not
currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate
air and clear any condensation that may have appeared
on glass doors and shelves.
NOTE: If the unit is set to sabbath mode the evaporator
fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.
In order to operate efficiently the evaporator fan blade
and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust
buildup.

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.
Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a
resistance which varies based on surrounding
temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may
be tested using an accurate ohmmeter. In an ice water
bath (32°F) resistance should measure 16.1 kilohms.

Limp Mode Data Table
Zone Thermistor
If the zone thermistor fails, the unit will continue to
operate in a timed limp mode which varies by model. The
unit will otherwise operate normally. The error will be
displayed in the error log.
Evaporator Thermistor
If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a
preset defrost time during defrost cycles. The unit will
otherwise operate normally. Evaporator thermistor errors
will be displayed in the error log.
Always assure that all thermistor connections are clean
and dry. Whenever opening a thermistor connection be
sure to apply a fresh dab of die electric grease.
REED SWITCH
A reed switch is used to monitor door state. When the
door is closed magnetic force pulls the reed to its contact
and closes the circuit which turns the light and display off.
When the door is open the reed pulls away from the
contact and opens the circuit. If the door is left open for
longer than 5 minutes, the switch will trigger an error code
and set an audible warning.

Thermistor 1
u-line.com
SAFETY • INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION • OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE
Thermistors
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.
Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a
resistance which varies based on surrounding
temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may
be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
All thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is
suspected of being defective the resistance can be
verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the
resistance should read 16.1k OHMs +/-5% on your meter.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor
connection that has become corroded can cause
resistance values from the thermistor to change as they
pass through a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of
our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to
keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply
dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a
dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the
thermistor and the thermistor harness.
Thermistor error information can be found in the Control
Operations - Service section.
This unit has five thermistors.
Thermistor one (Zone):
Located along the right hand side wall in the top/left
compartment. It is used to maintain the operating
temperature within that zone.
Thermistor two (Evaporator):
Located on the evaporator in the top/left compartment. It
is used for defrost.
Thermistor three (Zone):
Located along the right hand side wall in the bottom/right
compartment. It is used to maintain the operating
temperature within that zone.
Thermistor four (Evaporator):
Located on the evaporator in the bottom/right
compartment. It is used for defrost.
Thermistor five (Ambient):
Located in the base of the unit (secured to the
condenser). It is used to monitor the ambient temperature
within the base compartment. It is used for diagnostics.
THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistors
If a zone thermistor(s) in the unit fails the unit will
continue to cool in a backup mode (Self Preservation
Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit
will otherwise operate normally.

CONVECTION COOLING
This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling
system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet
temperature, cools product faster and increases energy
efficiency.
Evaporator Fan
The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air
from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back
into the refrigerated zone.
The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay
at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the
evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed
over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2
minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can
be modified through the service menu.
Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door
switch state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will
stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will
either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not
currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate
air and clear any condensation that may have appeared
on glass doors and shelves.
Note: If the unit is set to sabbath mode, the evaporator
fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.
In order to operate efficiently, the evaporator fan blade
and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust
buildup.
Evaporator Fan Replacement
Should an evaporator fan need to be replaced follow the
steps below.
1. Remove any product from the unit.
2. Uninstall unit.
3. Disconnect power to the unit.
4. Remove rear center cover from unit.
5. Disconnect fan electrical connection to the fan which
must be changed.
6. Remove insulating foam from refrigerant line pass-
through hole as needed to gain clearance to pass fan
plug through.
7. Remove internal bins and bin holders, wine racks or
shelf supports as dictated by unit, on the side that fan
motor needs to be changed in.
8. If the unit has bins or wine racks, remove the rear
mounting screw only from the slide assembly on each
side. This will allow the slide to pivot downward from
the front mounting screw allowing ample room to
remove the fan cover.
9. Remove thermistor cover. From the zone with the
defective fan.
