You have received a carton containing your 2175R

Refrigerator or 2175RF Refrigerator/Freezer with a

package inside containing a Use & Care Guide and a

Product Registration Card. Complete and mail the Product

Registration Card or register online at

www.U-LineService.com. Once your unit is installed, keep

the Use & Care Guide and this Installation Guide in a safe

place for future reference.

Your unit is Black, White or Stainless Steel. Black and

White units have a reversible door with a slightly

contoured handle across the top. They come with a flush

mounted door panel that, when removed, will accept a

custom 1/4-inch thick door panel or a 3/4-inch thick full

overlay door panel. Stainless Steel units are covered with

a protective coating and have been ordered left- or right-

hand hinged. The Stainless doors are not reversible and do

not accept custom panels. 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

(Black or White units) (If installing a 1/4” Panel Insert)

• Full Overlay Door Panel Kit (part number U-OL2175B —

Black or part number U-OL2175W — White), 3/4-inch

door panel overlay, cutting tools, drill and bits (Black or

White units) (If installing a 3/4” Full Overlay)

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.

2 Inspect and Plan

www.U-LineService.com 408/2006

2175R Refrigerator and 2175RF Refrigerator/Freezer

After all the protective coating has been removed from

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.

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.

Exterior Cleaning

(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:

• Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to

chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with

bleach.

• 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.

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: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet

door.

Cut-Out Dimensions

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 cabinet depth in most installations.

The unit is 23-1/4" deep including the handle

on Black and White models and 23-1/4" deep including

the door and not the handle on Stainless Steel models

(see Figure 2).

Product Dimensions

Please note that the unit has adjustable feet that can add

one additional inch to height during leveling or to match

adjacent cabinets (see Figure 33 on Page 13).

Door Swing/Clearances Information

Black and White units have a zero clearance for the door

to open 90° (see Figure 3). Stainless Steel models require

a minimum of 2-1/8" door clearance to accommodate the

handle if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar type

of structure.

Reversing the Door

(Black and White Units Only)

All U-Line units (except

Stainless Steel models) may

be left- or right-hand

opening. The door opening is

easily reversed by moving the

hinge hardware to the

opposite side. The top hinge

hardware will be used on the

bottom of the other side and

the bottom hinge hardware

will be used on the top of the

other side (see Figure 4).

Other Site Requirements

Power Supply

The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,

60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). See

Electrical Specifications on Page 13.

Environmental Requirements

Many U-Line models are designed to operate in harsh

outdoor/marine environments. Special considerations

include the following:

• The units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C)

and 110°F (40°C). High ambient temperatures (110°F

[40°C] or higher) may reduce the unit’s ability to reach

low temperatures and may also reduce the ice

production rate for those models with icemakers.

• If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below

45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent

freezing damage not covered by the warranty.

• For best performance, keep the unit out of direct

sunlight and away from heat generating equipment.

• For best performance and life outdoors, place under a

counter or provide shelter of some kind.

• In climates where high humidity and dew points are

present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces.

This is considered normal. The condensation will

disappear when the humidity drops.

Side-By-Side Installation

Instructions

For a complete refreshment center, install your 2175R or

2175RF Model beside a U-Line Ice Maker, Combo or Wine

Captain 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.

For example:

Placing a 2175R or 2175RF next to a 2115 series unit

would require a cut-out width of:

24-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 39-3/8"

Placing a 2175R or 2175RF next to a 2175 series unit

would require a cut-out width of:

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.

(Black and White Units Only)

Two types of custom door panels can be installed on your

Black or White unit to harmonize with or accent the

surrounding décor: a Custom 1/4" Insert or a Full Overlay.

If no custom door panel is used, go on to 5 Adjust Door.

Custom 1/4'' Door Panel Insert

Door Panel Preparation

A custom door panel can be inserted into the doorframe.

Custom door panels can be flat or raised, as long as the

maximum panel thickness where inserted into the door

reveal (channel) is 1/4"-thick. For raised panels, the depth

of the reveal is 1/4" on all four sides.

IMPORTANT

Raised panels will reduce the door’s 90° swing/zero

clearance if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar

type of structure.

For 2175 models cut the panel insert to the following

dimensions.

Custom 1/4" Dimensions:

Width: 23-1/32"

Height: 27-11/16"

For 2115 & CLR2160 models cut the panel insert to the

following dimensions.

Custom 1/4" Dimensions:

Width: 14-1/32"

Height: 27-11/16"

The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs.

Door Panel Installation

Install the insert as follows:

CAUTION

Use care when handling the insert. Insert edges may be

sharp.

1. Remove top hinge screw pin (using a Phillips

screwdriver, see Figure 12). Remove door by tilting

forward and lifting off bottom hinge pin.
