You have received a carton containing your 2015R
Refrigerator with a package inside containing a User
Manual 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 User Manual 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
• 7/64" Allen wrench
• Screwdrivers — slotted and Phillips head
• 1/4-inch thick door panel material and cutting tools
(Black or White units)
• Full Overlay Door Panel Kit (part number U-OL2015B —
Black or part number U-OL2015W — White), 3/4-inch
door panel overlay, cutting tools, drill and bits (Black or
White 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.
2 Inspect and Plan

2015R — Refrigerator
www.U-LineService.com 402/2005
™
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 15-3/16"
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

Installation Tip
If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cut-out
opening, adjust the rear feet to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1/8 " less than the opening’s rear height. Shorten
the unit height in the front by adjusting the front feet.
This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the opening.
Readjust the front feet to level the unit after it is correctly
positioned in the opening.

Installation Troubleshooting
Problem
Q:
The door remains open unless it is pushed closed.
Solution
A:
The hinges should be self-closing when the door is open
approximately 8
" . If this is not the case, make sure the
closers (at the bottom of the hinge pin) are clean, greased
and installed correctly. Also, re-check leveling from front
to back of the unit and readjust if necessary. Make sure
that pivot plate is installed correctly.
Problem
Q:
The custom overlay door was designed to align with the
rest of the cabinet doors, but the unit has crept forward.
Solution
A:
Make sure that the electrical cord is not obstructing the
installation.
