CAUTION
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of
the Dual-Zone units, the rack 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 stain/finish
manufacturer’s instructions prior to re-installing
the wood trim inside the cabinet of the Dual-Zone
unit. Failure to do so may cause the inner liner of
the unit to have a permanent odor, which is not
covered by the warranty.
RACK REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

at the same time, lift the corresponding right rack
release lever up, and pull the rack out until it is free of
the tracks and the cabinet.
IMPORTANT
Do not remove the track side rails from the cabinet.
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.
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 being put into full-time service.
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.
CAUTION
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.
