Frequently Asked Questions - 3036BVWCS-13A U-Line

How do I install an integrated panel on my U-Line 3036BVWCS-13A wine cellar?

To install, remove the door gasket, align the panel with the outer edge of the door, clamp it, drill 6 pilot holes 1/2" deep using a 7/64" bit through existing holes, then secure with #6 x 1-1/2" screws. Reinstall the gasket. Ensure panel weight does not exceed 20 lbs.

How do I remove the grille (plinth strip) on my U-Line unit?

Disconnect power. Use a 7/64" Allen wrench to loosen (but not remove) the lock screws on each side. Pull the grille forward until it stops, then push rails inward to lift off the screws and remove the grille.

What is the maximum weight allowed for an integrated door panel?

The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg). This includes any handles or inserts.

What are the dimensions for a handleless integrated panel on a 36" model?

Main panel: 17-1/2" (445 mm) wide, 28-13/16" (732 mm) deep. Wooden insert: 17-1/2" x 3-1/2" (445 mm x 89 mm), 1/8" thick. Two inserts are needed per 36" unit.

Can I use an extended integrated panel with my U-Line 3036BVWCS-13A?

Yes. An extended panel can be used to match taller cabinetry. Panel can extend beyond the door frame, but maintain a minimum 1" (25 mm) clearance from the floor for ventilation.

How do I adjust the grille horizontally to match my cabinetry?

Loosen the lock screws on each grille rail. Extend the grille outward up to 1-1/2" (38 mm). Tighten the screws after adjustment. Do not exceed this maximum.

How do I remove the door gasket to install a panel?

Fully open the door. Starting at a corner, pull the gasket away from the door frame. Continue until the gasket is free. Lay it flat on a clean surface. Be careful not to damage the display cable if present.

What size screws are needed for attaching the integrated panel?

Use the provided #6 x 1-1/2" (38 mm) screws. Drill pilot holes 1/2" (12 mm) deep with a 7/64" drill bit to prevent wood splitting.

Handleless Integrated Door Panel

The following procedure is designed to provide a finished, handleless solid panel for an 18" (450 mm) door that seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry. Prepare two 18" (450 mm) overlays for 36" (900 mm) units.

NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready solution for a handle-less, integrated design that can be easily applied to your U-Line 3000 Series model. Consult your cabinet manufacturer for applicable design and installation details. The cabinet manufacturer's solution to this design and integration detail will often result in an integrated panel solution wherein the size of the panel may result in a height dimension taller than what we specify. This can be achieved provided the additional height is positioned above the appliance door.

NOTICE

The integrated panel aligns with the surrounding cabinetry and, due to differences in cabinetry, may not align perfectly with the door.

The appliance will need up to 34-1/2" (876 mm) to the underside of the counter to leave room for leveling adjustments.

A single prepared panel with insert must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).

Integrated Panel Preparation

1. Cut the main panels to the dimensions below. For details, see the drawings on the next page.

Unit width	Panel width	Panel depth
36" (900 mm)	17-1/2" (445 mm)	28-13/16" (732 mm)

1. Create the top design for the handleless feature and the 1/8" (3 mm) notch for the insert(s) indicated on the Top Detail drawing, on the next page.

2. Prepare the insert(s) that will back up the handleless design. Wooden Insert - Cut 1/8" (3 mm) thick wooden insert(s) to the appropriate dimensions below.

Unit width	Insert width	Insert depth
36" (900 mm)	17-1/2" (445 mm)	3-1/2" (89 mm)

*Two 18" (450 mm) inserts are required for 36" (900 mm) units.

1. Optional: Stain or finish panel and wooden insert to desired stain or color. Be sure to closely follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

NOTICE

If finishing panel or wooden insert, all sides must be finished to prevent warping.

1. Attach the insert to the panel / frame. Wood glue or equivalent adhesive should be used to attach insert to panel.

2. Using a 7/64"

(3 mm) drill bit, drill 6 pilot holes into the wood panel

1/2" (12 mm) deep using the holes in the door/drawer frame as a guide.

SAFETY • INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION • OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS • MAINTENANCE • SERVICE

1. Using a Phillips screwdriver, place one screw into each of the 6 pilot holes and screw down. Do not overtighten screws.
2. Be sure the screws force their way past the opening on the gasket channel and sit flush against the bottom of the channel.

1. Remove clamps from door/drawer.

NOTICE

If panel requires additional adjustment after removing clamps, slightly loosen each screw and adjust panel as necessary. Tighten screws upon completion.

Do not overtighten screws, bulges in plastic frame might be visible if tightened too much.
