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.  
75R units are available in Black or White vinyl clad  
cabinets with matching doors and in Stainless models with  
a stainless steel door panel, brushed aluminum doorframe  
and handle, and a black cabinet. All 75R unit doors have a  
slightly contoured handle across the top and are  
reversible. The black and white doors have recessed front  
panels that will accept a custom 1/4 inch thick door panel.  
75R units have two full and one “half” tempered glass  
shelves.  
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to  
the unit.  
• Always keep your working area dry.  
CAUTION  
• Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use  
gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp edges.  
75WC units are Black or Stainless and have a vinyl-clad  
cabinet and a framed, reversible, tinted glass door with  
a slightly contoured handle across the top and a lock.  
Stainless models have a black cabinet and grille and a  
brushed aluminum doorframe and handle. All 75WC  
units have six fixed wine racks with no wood trim and one  
“half” tempered glass shelf.  
• 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.  
75BEV units have a black, vinyl-clad cabinet, a brushed  
aluminum-framed, tinted glass door, a straight, vertical  
brushed aluminum handle and a black grille. They are  
ordered left- or right-hinged and the door is not  
reversible. 75BEV units come with two maple trim wine  
racks that can be finished or stained and two full and one  
“half“ tempered glass shelves. They have anti-tip brackets  
for freestanding installations.  
Please carefully follow the directions that apply to your  
unit and your intended design.  
Tools/Materials Required  
• Screwdrivers — slotted and Phillips head  
• 1/4-inch thick door panel material and cutting tools  
(75R units)  
• Sandpaper; low odor, water clean up, quick drying  
finish; tack cloth and, if desired, water-based wood  
stain and synthetic foam brush (75BEV units)

Exterior Cleaning  
(As Required)  
3 Prepare Site  
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.  
Black and White Models:  
• Black and White 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.  
Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet  
door.  
Stainless Models:  
Cut-Out Dimensions  
• Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor  
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt  
water or cleaners with bleach.  
• Clean any glass door fronts with a non-chlorine glass  
cleaner.  
• Keep your Stainless 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.

Figure 1  
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically  
intended for stainless steel on stainless surfaces  
(this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).  
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 23-7/16" deep including the door and not the  
handle on Stainless models and 23-7/16" deep including  
the handle on Black and White models (see Figure 2).  
• 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.

Three types of custom treatments may be involved in your  
installation:  
• 75R Refrigerators will accept a Custom 1/4" Thick Insert  
to harmonize with or accent the surrounding decor.  
• 75BEV Beverage Centers are equipped with two maple-  
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.

Electrical Specifications  
Checking Door Alignment  
The unit’s door is aligned at the factory before shipment.  
However, its alignment could have been disturbed during  
shipment or during door panel installation.  
CAUTION  
Electrical installation must observe all state and local  
codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (three-  
prong), polarized receptacle that has been placed by a  
qualified electrician.  
IMPORTANT  
Properly aligned, the door's gasket should be firmly in  
contact with the cabinet all the way around the door (no  
gaps).  
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,  
60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current).  
An individual, properly grounded branch circuit or circuit  
breaker is recommended. GFCI (ground fault circuit  
interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location  
appliances and is not recommended for your unit because  
a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be  
sure to consult your local codes.  
1. Carefully examine the door's gasket to assure that it is  
firmly in contact with the cabinet.  
Note: When inspecting door alignment, make sure the  
light switch bracket makes contact with the light switch  
plunger. Also make sure the door gasket is not pinched on  
the hinge side of the door.  
See Figure 18 for recommended receptacle location.  
2. If the door is properly aligned, go on to 6 Prepare  
Power Supply. If it is not, use the following procedure.
