UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Remove Packaging
Your refrigerator has been packed for shipment with
all parts that could be damaged by movement securely
fastened. Cut the banding material at the bottom of the
carton, unfold the carton at the bottom and remove the
carton from the appliance. Remove the plastic bag, styrofoam corner posts and any tape holding the door closed
and internal components in place. The owners manual is
shipped inside the refrigerator in a plastic bag along with
the warranty registration card.
Important
Keep your carton packaging until your refrigerator has
been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condition. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed
as proof of damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose
of all items responsibly in particular the plastic bags
which can be a suffocation hazard.
Warranty Registration
It is important you send in your warranty registration card immediately after taking delivery of your refrigerator or you can
register online at www.marvelrefrigeration.com.
The following information will be required when registering
your unit.
Model Number
Serial Number
Date of Purchase
Dealers name and address
The model number and serial number can be found on the
serial plate which is located inside the cabinet on the left side
near the top.
Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly
inspected before leaving our plant. Responsibility for
its safe delivery was assumed by the retailer upon acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage
sustained in transit must be made to the retailer.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE
MANUFACTURER - FILE THE CLAIM WITH THE RETAILER.
If the unit was shipped or has been laying on its back for
any period of time allow the refrigerator to sit upright for
a period of at least 24 hours before plugging in. This will
assure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in immediately may cause damage to internal
parts.
Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the
past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous - even if they sit out for “just a few days”.
If you are getting rid of your old refrigerator, please follow
the instructions below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
Take off the doors or remove the drawers.•
Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily •
climb inside.

INSTALLING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
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 65
to 90°F (18 to 32°C).
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.
Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the
front grille provides 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).
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 re-•
frigerator! 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.
Electrical Connection
115 volts, 3.3 amps running max. 15 amp dedicated circuit
required. 3 prong grounded receptacle required.
Do not use an extension cord
with this appliance.
Front Grille,
keep this
area open.

Setting the temperature control:
Initially set the cold control midway between the numbers
(between the #3 and #4).After at least 2 hours adjust to
the temperature that suits you. The higher the number you
select, the cooler the temperature. (See figure 3). After
loading the refrigerator allow at least 24 hours for your
refrigerator to reach a new temperature setting.

Defrosting instructions:
Never use a scraper or any tool that might scratch or pierce
the cooling plate. Follow these steps whenever 1/4” or more
of frost accumulates:
1) Disconnect the power cord and set the cold control knob
to the “OFF” position.
2) Remove contents.
3) Place pans of hot water on the cooling plate if you wish
to speed up defrosting.
4) Wipe out the interior and replace contents.
5) Connect power cord to outlet.
6) Set temperature control to desired level.

FULL OVERLAY PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For the door closer to work properly it is necessary to
maintain a minimum space of 9/32” (7mm) between the
door and cabinet flange as shown . This space can be
adjusted by adjusting the top and bottom hinge adapters.
Step 1: Verify door alignment
The door should be parallel to the sides and top of the
refrigerator. If alignment is necessary the door may be
adjusted by loosening the 2 screws which secure the
hinge adapter brackets to the door and adjusting the
door side to side. Use a 5/32” allen wrench for this procedure. (See Figure 4 below).

Step 4: Cut overlay panel
Depending on the refrigerator model cut the overlay
panel to the dimensions shown in Figure 5 and Table A
below.
For overlay with lock option panel thickness to be
3/4” (19mm) maximum to 5/8” (16mm) minimum.
Weight of the overlay panel should not exceed 20 pounds
(9.1 kilograms).

Step 2: Remove door
Remove the top hinge pin from the hinge with an 1/8”
allen wrench. Remove the door by angling the top of the
door outward and lifting the door off the bottom hinge.
(See detail in Figure 4).
Step 3: Remove gasket
Lay the door on its front being careful not to scratch it.
Remove the door gasket by peeling up and out of the
channel.

Step 6: Drill holes in overlay panel
Remove the hinge adapter bushings from the top and
bottom door hinge adapters. (See Figure 9).Using the
holes in the hinge adapters drill 5/16” (8mm) diameter
clearance holes into the overlay panels 3/4” (20mm)
deep. These will be clearance holes for the top and bottom hinge pins.
Also at this time drill the screw pilot holes (10 required)
for attaching the overlay panel to the door. Select the size
of the hole from Table B. Be careful not to drill the pilot
holes through the overlay panel but only 1/2” (12.7)mm
deep.

If your refrigerator has a door lock proceed to Step 7.
If your refrigerator does not have a door lock proceed
to Step 9.
Step 8: Assemble the lock parts
Two (2) lock extensions are supplied with the lock. Use
the longer extension for a 3/4” thick overlay panel and
the shorter one for a 5/8” thick panel. Assemble the lock
extension, cam stop washer, spring washer, and set screw
to the lock as shown in Figure 6 and 7.
Install this assembly into the overlay panel and secure
with the retaining nut using a 15mm socket. Make sure
the key slot in the lock is vertical.
Step 7: Mark and drill lock hole.
Locate and mark with a pencil the location of the lock
hole on the overlay panel, this is the hole in the top corner of the handle side of the door. Remove the clamp and
remove the overlay panel from the door. On the backside
of the panel where you marked the lock location drill a
13/16” (20.5mm) diameter counterbore 7/16” (11.0mm)
deep into the overlay panel. Drill a 15/32” (12.0mm)
diameter hole through the overlay panel centered on the
counterbore being careful not to splinter the wood on the
face side of the panel. (See Figure 6).

Attach the lock cam to the back of the lock assembly with
the phillips head machine screw provided. Orient the lock
cam vertically when installing on the lock.
Step 11: Install door gasket
Press the door gasket into the door channel. Make
certain the gasket corners are fully inserted. If applicable
insert the key into the lock and make certain the lock
operates properly.
