To insert a rack in the cabinet:

1. Align the left and right rack channels with the tracks

in the cabinet, and ensuring an even track
engagement on both sides, gently push the rack into
the cabinet until it stops.

2. Before reloading the rack, ensure proper operation of

the travel stops in the left and right track rails by
pulling the rack out gently until it completely stops.

Wood Trim Finishing

Interior components of your U-Line unit are equipped
with a natural wood trim for appearance and durability.
Although this wood trim has been coated with a clear
sealer at the factory, it is recommended that the trim be
stained (if desired), and receive a final finish coating prior
to the unit going into full-time service.

WARNING

To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner
of your unit, the wood trim MUST be removed
from the unit for staining and/or finishing. Allow
stain/finish to dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours
per coat) in accordance with the product
manufacturer’s instructions prior to
reinstallation. Failure to do so may cause the
inner liner of the unit to have a permanent odor,
which is not covered by the warranty.

If staining the trim is desired, it must be done before the
application of any type of final finish. Review the
following staining/final finish and final finish-only
guidelines when staining/ and or sealing the wood to
ensure proper adhesion and durability of the finish.

NOTE:

Glass in door is tinted. Stain may look darker

when door is closed.

Staining and final finish application:

1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior

components, and remove the trim from the cabinet
interior.

NOTE:

Your model will contain an electronic display panel

in the lowest level trim piece. After removing the trim
screws, and gently pulling the trim from its location, a
wiring harness connector will become visible. Unplug the
connector, and remove the trim from the interior.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT use oil-based stains on wood trim. Vapors from
oil-based stains will permanently penetrate the liner and
will not dissipate over time.

2. Apply Minwax

Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with

a synthetic bristle brush or a foam applicator. Allow
stain to penetrate approximately three minutes. Before
the stain is dry, take a stain dampened rag and remove
any excess stain remaining. Wipe in the direction of the
grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired stain
color.

3. After two hours, repeat step 2. This will even out the

color of the wood.

4. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before

applying the final finish.

5. If desired, sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to

smooth the surface after the staining process.

6. Remove all dust from the wood, and apply one coat of

Minwax

Polycrylic

Protective Finish using a synthetic

bristle brush to the wood. This finish should be applied
in a thin coat following the direction of the grain.
Apply the finish to the back and sides of the wood first,
and allow it to dry for two hours. Apply the finish to the
front side of the wood next, and allow it to dry for two
hours. Sand with very fine 220 grit sandpaper. Apply
two addition coats of the finish in the same manner, but
do not sand the trim after the final third coat is applied.

7. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before

reinstalling the trim to the cabinet interior components.

Final finish-only application:

1. Remove all screws securing wood trim to interior

components, and remove the trim.

2. Lightly scruff sand the wood trim with 280 or finer grit

sandpaper.

3. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.

4. The factory-applied seal is compatible with virtually all

finishes. A low odor, water clean up, quick-drying finish
such as Minwax

Polycrylic

Protective Finish is
