Cut-Out Width

(inches)

Floor under product MUST be at or above the same level as the surrounding FINISHED oor, for ease of installaon and
removal.

Electrical: Provide 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, Single Phase, 15 Amp, AC Receptacle. It is recommended that a separate circuit, serv­ing only this appliance, be provided. *Two (2) units side-by-side require separate circuits, except the 60SS and 72SS (see
Instrucon Sheet 34361-000). Electrical opening should be placed 78 1/2 inches minimum from the oor.

Plumbing: Ice maker water supply line (1/4 inch OD copper tubing) to come up the rear of cut-out opening approximately
78 inches o the oor depending on height adjustment. Tubing should then pass around the right side of the module and
around the front to the solenoid valve (see Installaon Instrucons provided with the unit).

NOTE: Allow for three (3) inch high removable ller panel for easy removal of power module.

INSTALLATION

Select Locaon

Locate the refrigerator/freezer in the coolest part of the
room, out of direct sunlight and away from heang ducts
or registers.

Do not place the refrigerator/freezer next to heat-produc­ing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher. If this
is not possible, a secon of cabinetry or an added layer
of insulaon between the two (2) appliances will help the
refrigerator/freezer operate more eciently.

IMPORTANT

When installing the water line for the ice maker, be sure to
install a SHUT-OFF VALVE at a convenient locaon between
the refrigerator and the supply line.

Required water pressure range is 20 to 120 psi.

Also required is an in-line WATER FILTER between the
refrigerator and the supply line to prevent sediment from
blocking water ow through the water solenoid valve.

NOTE: Self-piercing water valves and plasc tubing are
NOT approved for water supply to ice maker.

Electrical Connecon

The module comes with a 3-prong power supply cord. It
must be plugged into a mang 115 volt, 60 Hz, 15 amp
separately fused, 3-prong grounded outlet serving only
this product, and wired in accordance with Naonal and
Local Electrical Codes and ordinances. A me delay fuse or
circuit breaker is recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTEN­SION CORD OR ADAPTER PLUG.

DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG FROM THE
POWER SUPPLY CORD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

If voltage varies by 10 percent or more, performance of
your refrigerator/freezer may be aected. Operang the
refrigerator/freezer with insucient voltage can damage
the compressor. Such damage is not covered under your
warranty. If you suspect your voltage is high or low, con­sult your power company for tesng.

Do NOT pinch, knot, or bend the power cord in any man­ner.

NEVER unplug the refrigerator/freezer by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug rmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle. To avoid electrical shock, unplug
the refrigerator/freezer before cleaning and before replac­ing a light bulb.

NOTE: Turning the control to “OFF” turns o the compres­sor, but does not disconnect power to the light bulb or
other electrical components. The unit MUST be unplugged
or turned o at the circuit breaker.

ANY UNIT WITH FACE MOUNTED HANDLE: Filler must
be three (3) inches minimum.

Installing Two Units Side-By-Side

When two (2) units are installed together, a 23 1/2 inch
x 12 inch (minimum) divider panel needs to be installed
between the two (2) modules (refer to Illustraon) with
self-tapping screws. The divider panel can be made of any
material available, (i.e. 1/32 inch aluminum, 1/8 - 1/4 inch
wood paneling), or you can order Kit # 34747-000 from
the AGA MARVEL Service Department. Locate the divider
panel approximately one (1) inch down from the top of the
cabinet and ush with the back of the cabinet. Drill three
(3) pilot holes approximately 1/2 inch up from the boom
of divider panel, through panel, and into cabinet. Secure
the panel to the cabinet with three (3) screws using pilot
holes previously drilled.

Drill three (3) holes each side equal
distance apart in vercal secon of
aluminum frame and install screws
as shown.

Wood Shim

• Install wood shim to one of the
cabinets before installing cut-out

• Aer properly installing both
cabinets, drill trim and install pan
head screws (provided).

LEVELING THE UNIT

NOTE: Unit MUST be installed level in all planes, on a oor that is strong enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator/freezer.

This unit is equipped with front and rear rollers. Rollers will aid during installaon. Rear rollers are adjustable from the
front of the unit. Total adjustment is + 5/16, - 5/16. Turn adjusng bolt clockwise to raise cabinet and counterclockwise to

lower cabinet. Front leveling legs must be adjusted to the oor for leveling and to prevent the unit from rolling during use.

Rear Roller Adjustment Bolt

Front leveling leg.
Use 1/4” wrench
to adjust height of
leveling legs.

5

INSTALLING THE CABINET

Before placing the cabinet in opening, the depth of the
cut-out opening should be at least 24 inches. If the cut-out
opening depth is more than 24 inches, then a piece of
wood must be secured crosswise on the wall into the studs
at the height of the an-p bracket. Slide the cabinet into
posion and level the cabinet with adjustable rear roller
and front leveling legs. Locate and mark a center stud in
the back of the cut-out opening for the L-shaped an-p
bracket- (the bracket should t ght to the top of the cabi­net). Install at least two screws through the bracket into
the stud located in the wall behind the cabinet. The front
leveling legs also prevent the unit from rolling during use.
Check t of toe kick and grille.

IMPORTANT

Drill and screw through the side trim into adjoining cabi­nets and/or walls for addional support.

Cabinet

Do NOT install an-p bracket over the top of
the power module.

NOTE: 18 and 24 inch wide models have a full
an-p bracket across the back of the units.
The an-p bracket should be aached to the

wall.

IMPORTANT

Recheck cabinet installaon for:

• Proper space le for grille installaon.

• Cabinet levelness.

• Door opening and closing appearance.

• SAFETY...To prevent unit from pping forward:

-Are screws installed securely through front trim
into adjoining cabinetry and/or walls?

-Is an-p mounng bracket secured to wall studs?

Cabinet Top

Aer above checks have been made, proceed with refrig­eraon installaon.

pping or transporng.

IMPORTANT

Check to make sure wiring and ice maker tubing is clear and not interfering with module seal. Do NOT start product during
construcon, as dust can block module condenser coils. If dust accumulates on coils, vacuum immediately, using a so
brush aachment.

Do NOT operate the refrigerator in the presence of explosive fumes.

Do NOT install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60 degrees F (15 degrees C) or rise above 110 de­grees F (43 degrees C). The compressor will NOT be able to maintain proper temperatures.
