INSTALLING YOUR ICE MACHINE
Select Location
The proper location will ensure peak performance of your
appliance. We recommend a location where the unit will
be out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. To
assure your product performs to specifications the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55
to 80°F (13 to 27°C) for indoor built in units, 55 to 90°F
(13 to 32°C) for indoor freestanding units.
Outdoor Installation
Only the 3OiMT model is suitable for outdoor installations.
A ground fault circuit interrupter electrical receptacle is to
be used to supply electrical power to the refrigerator for
outdoor applications. Contact an electrician if you need
to install one to supply electrical power to your outdoor
wine cellar. Do not install in an environment where the unit
will be exposed to direct sun exposure as this may result in
unsatisfactory performance.
Cabinet Clearance
Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the
unit. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions.
Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around
the unit as long as the grille and door access remain unobstructed.
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the unit
should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor
and level from side to side and front to back. Turn leveling
legs clockwise to raise unit, counterclockwise to lower it.
(See Figure 1).
Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the ice •
machine. Doing so may cause an electrical shock,
which may result in severe injury or death.
This unit should not, under any circumstances, be •
ungrounded.
Grounding Method
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord
that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances (see Figure 2). If the circuit does
not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing
receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third
ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut
or removed.
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille provide air to flow into and exit from the refrigerator condenser. For this reason it is important this area to
not be obstructed and be kept clean. Marvel does not recommend the use of custom made grilles as air flow may be
restricted because of inadequate openings. (See Figure 1).
Front Grille,
keep this
area open.

Drain Plumbing
Your ice machine uses a gravity drain (Figure 3) that requires 5/8” I.D. tubing from the back of the ice machine
to a plumbed connection to a sanitary sewer. Remove the
access panel to plumb in drain connection. Gravity drain
location for built-in units can be within the area shown
in Figure 5. An optional drain pump (Figure 4) can be
purchased for your ice machine if a gravity drain is not accessible. See page 5 for optional drain pump installation.
Observe and follow all local codes when installing ice
machine.
Failure to use adequate drainage system will result in
surrounding water damage and/or poor ice production.

OPTIONAL DRAIN PUMP INSTALLATION
The Marvel Drain Pump is designed to remove drain water
from ice machines installed in areas without direct drainage access. The sealed reservoir pump collects the melted
ice water and pumps it to a maximum lift of eight (8) feet
through 3/8” I.D. vinyl tubing to a drain.
This pump has been evaluated for use with water
only.
NOTE: Despite the ease of installation, reasonable care
and safe methods should be practiced. Do NOT work
with energized electrical equipment in a wet area. Read
and follow the installation instructions listed in this
manual.
Risk of electric shock - This pump is supplied with a
grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment
plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that
it is connected only to properly grounded, groundingtype receptacle.
Maintenance
The following items require review on a regular basis.
Check that the inlet tubing from the ice machine 1.
drain to the drain pump is open and is free of foreign
material. Inspect the screen at the top of the inlet tube
to ensure there is nothing blocking water flow to the
pump.
Check that the vent line is open, free of kinks/sharp 2.
bends, so that air flows freely from the pump reservoir.
Check that the discharge tubing is free of foreign ma-3.
terial (algae, etc.) and kinks/bends. Confirm that the
check valve is operational by observing that the water
flow is evident in one (1) direction only - out of the
pump. Remove and clean as required.

OPERATION, CARE, AND CLEANING OF YOUR ICE MACHINE
Operation (Turning on the ice machine)
Once the drain and water supply are hooked up, and the
ice machine is in place and leveled plug in the service cord.
The ice machine is shipped with the selector switch in the
“OFF” position. Place the switch to the “ON” position to
turn on the ice machine. The switch is located in the front
grille, see page 16 Figure 18 for location.
Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and has less
mineral content than the water it is produced from. This is
accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator
plate which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice
slab. Mineral deposits are left in the reservoir.
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness determined by the temperature of the evaporator plate, the
electronic control switches to the harvest cycle to harvest
the ice. During the harvest cycle, the ice slab falls from the
evaporator to the ice grid cutter. Here, the ice slab is cut
into 3/4” squares by the grid cutter’s heated wires. During
the harvest cycle, the drain valve will remain open for 45
seconds to drain the reservoir of remaining deposits. After
that, the water valve will open for two (2) minutes providing
two (2) quarts of water to the reservoir for the next production cycle.
The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice machine’s bin is full and will restart automatically when ice
needs to be replenished in the bin.
Care of the Ice Machine
Avoid leaning on the cabinet door. You may bend the 1.
door hinge or tip the unit.
Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming or mop-2.
ping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grille
and/or switch can occur.
Periodically clean the inside of the ice machine compo-3.
nents and inside of the unit.
Periodically check and/or clean the front grille and 4.
condenser coils as needed.
If your ice machine has either a stainless steel door 5.
and/or cabinet, to keep it looking its best, we recommend periodically applying a stainless steel cleaner
and a non-abrasive stainless steel polish. This is especially important for outdoor applications and locations
near salt-water environments.
Cleaning the Ice Machine
Some impurities will remain and build up in the ice machine and stick to the ice machine’s parts over time. This
build-up must be removed for proper ice production, ice
quality, and ice machine life. Your ice machine is equipped
with a cleaning mode that will help in cleaning out these
impurities.
The impurities will need to be cleaned of this build-up
regularly (at the very least, annually), depending on use
and water hardness. Use a nickel safe ice machine cleaner,
including but not limited to the following brands. Ice machine
cleaners are available at most appliance retailers or through
the cleaner manufacturers website.
Kirby’s Certified ice machine cleaner, 100% nickel safe
Nu-Calgon nickel safe ice machine cleaner
Franklin Machine Products nickel safe ice machine cleaner
To clean the ice machine:
Switch the selector switch to the “OFF” position.1.
Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the reservoir to 2.
drain any remaining water and then reinstall.
Access to the reservoir can be obtained by removing the 3.
front panel screws and the front panel. Determine the
proper amount of cleaner from the ice machine cleaner
manufacturer’s mixture ratio based on three (3) quarts
of water (refer to the manufacturer’s directions). Add the
recommended cleaning solution to the reservoir of the
ice machine.
Replace the front cover panel and close the door.4.
Switch the selector switch on the grille of the ice machine 5.
to the “CLEAN” position. Three (3) quarts of water will
automatically be added to the cleaning solution.
The total cleaning time will end in 49 minutes. The 6.
cleaning cycle will automatically rinse the evaporator
plate and also drain the cleaning solution and rinse the
reservoir with water.
7. After the cleaning cycle has ended, remove the front panel again and check that the build-up has been removed.
The evaporator plate should be clean, shiny, and smooth
to the touch. If build-up is still visible, repeat the cleaning cycle above. If build-up is removed, continue below.

8. Remove the distributor tube, hose clamp, hose and its
rubber ends.
9. Thoroughly clean the inside of the distributor tube and
the spray holes. You can use the same cleaning solution
as before and an old toothbrush to reach the inside of
the distributor tube.
10. Reinstall the rubber ends, hose, and hose clamp to the
distributor and then reinstall the distributor tube to the
evaporator with the spray holes pointed to the bottom of
the evaporator plate. Reinstall the front cover panel with
the two (2) front panel screws.

OPERATION, CARE, AND CLEANING OF YOUR ICE MACHINE
11. Clean the ice machine’s interior, ice scoop, interior
door panel and door gasket with mild soap and water.
Using two (2) tablespoons of baking soda in one (1)
quart of warm water while cleaning will help remove
odors. Rinse with fresh water. DO NOT USE ANY
ABRASIVE CLEANING PRODUCTS.
Your ice machine is now clean and sanitized and may be
put back into operation by switching the selector switch to
the “ON” position.
Things to Remember
Allow your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to ac-•
cumulate ice in the ice machine’s bin.
Unit will cycle often between ice production and ice •
harvest cycles.
Your unit will automatically shut down when the ice bin •
is full.
Unplug your ice machine before working on the unit.•
Keep your ice machine clean for proper ice quality, •
production, and unit life.
Room and water temperatures will greatly affect the •
output of ice in your unit (see Table C). Ice will also
melt away, especially at the start of an empty bin, but
will slow down as ice accumulates.
