Frequently Asked Questions - Wine Captain -3018WCINT-60A U-Line

How do I set the temperature on my U-Line Wine Captain?

To set the temperature, press the mode button to select Sparkling, White, or Red wine mode. Then use the + or - buttons to adjust the temperature within the permitted range. Confirm by pressing the mode button again or wait 5 seconds.

What should I do if the digital display and light do not work?

First, ensure the unit is plugged in and power is supplied. If the unit is cooling, it may be in Sabbath mode, which disables the display and lights. To exit Sabbath mode, briefly press and release the power button.

How do I clean the stainless steel exterior?

Use a quality stainless steel cleaner and polish, such as Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner. Apply monthly. Do not use steel wool, chlorine-based cleaners, or abrasives. Clean with the grain.

Can I install the unit behind a closed cabinet door?

No. The unit requires front ventilation through the grille. Installing it behind a closed cabinet door will obstruct airflow and cause poor performance or damage. The front grille must not be blocked.

How many bottles can the Wine Captain 3018WCINT-60A hold?

The unit can store up to 31 standard 750 ml wine bottles. Proper loading and arrangement as shown in the manual ensure optimal airflow and even cooling.

What is Sabbath mode and how do I enable it?

Sabbath mode disables all user responses, lighting, display, and audible alarms while maintaining internal temperature. To enable, access the Customer Menu by holding the menu button for 5 seconds, select Sabbath Mode, set it to On, and confirm. Exit by quickly pressing the power button.

Why is frost building up on internal surfaces and how can I fix it?

Minor frost on the rear wall is normal. Excessive frost (over 1/4 inch) may indicate a door not sealing properly, high humidity, or frequent openings. Manually defrost by disconnecting power, opening the door, and allowing frost to melt naturally. Do not use sharp tools or heaters.

How do I adjust the door alignment?

If the door is not level or sealing poorly, remove any integrated panel. Using a T-25 Torx bit, loosen the screws on the upper and lower hinge plates, square the door, then retighten. Ensure the gasket contacts the cabinet evenly.

What are the normal operating sounds?

Normal sounds include a hum or pulse from the compressor, boiling liquid noise from the evaporator, air movement from the condenser fan, dripping water during defrost, and occasional clicks from solenoid valves. These are not cause for concern.

How long is the warranty?

For Modular 3000 Series models, U-Line offers a 2-year warranty on parts and labor, and a 5-year warranty on the sealed system (compressor, condenser, evaporator, etc.). The warranty applies to the original purchaser. See the manual for full details and exclusions.

U-Line Wine Guide

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.

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.

Serve a:	Before a:
DRY wine	SWEET wine
WHITE wine	RED wine
YOUNG wine	OLD wine
LIGHT-BODIED 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.

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

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.

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.

Cleaning

EXTERIOR CLEANING

Stainless Models

Stainless door panels and handles can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.

Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation (Part Number 173348). Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning weekly.

Do not clean with steel wool pads.

Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on any glass surfaces.

Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.

Do not use cleaners 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 nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always finish 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 not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.
