WARNING

WARNING - 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 hours".

CAUTION

Front Grille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the

front grille allow air to ow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air ow will result in increased

energy usage, loss of cooling capacity and low ice production. For this reason it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. AGA MARVEL does

not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air ow

may be restricted. (See Figure 2).

Front Grille, keep this area open.

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.

Select Location

The proper location will ensure peak performance of your appliance. We recommend a location where the ice machine will be out of direct sunlight and away from heat

sources. To ensure your product performs to specications,

the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 90°F (13 to 32°C) for built in ice machines and 55 to 100°F (13 to 38°C) for freestanding ice machines. Ice machines will not perform correctly in ambient temperatures less than 55°F (13°C).

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.

NOTE

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time, unless required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

CAUTION

INSTALLING THE DRAIN PLUMBING

CAUTION

Failure to use an adequate drainage system, will result in surrounding water damage and/or poor ice production.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

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.

Drain Plumbing

Your ice machine requires drain plumbing. There are 2 variations of ice machines in regards to the installation of the drain plumbing, without a drain pump (gravity drain), and with a drain pump.

Gravity Drain (no drain pump):

The ice machine is shipped with the drain line installed, coiled and secured to the back of the cabinet as shown in Figure 7. It can be uncoiled, routed to an appropriate drain and cut to length as required. Additionally there is the provision of drain routing through the cut-out in the bottom of the unit, (see the gray area in Figure 8). A drain can be installed in this gray area with the drain line cut to a short length and positioned into the drain as shown in Figure 9, or if the ice machine is to be built-in, the drain tube could be

routed through a hole in the oor in this gray area to a drain

below.

Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this ice machine and drain lines.

INSTALLING THE DRAIN PLUMBING

With a factory installed drain pump:

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 (2.44 meters) using no more than the 20 feet of 3⁄8” I.D. vinyl tub- ing.

If the ice machine has a factory installed drain pump. Discharge tubing is coiled up and attached to the back of the ice machine. The 3⁄8 inch I.D. tubing needs to be plumbed and connected to a sanitary sewer. Refer to Figure 10.

CAUTION

This drain pump is designed to be installed in Marvel ice machines only and is approved for use with water only.

Optional Drain Pump.

An optional drain pump is available if you have purchased an ice machine without one and do not have access to a gravity drain. Installation instructions are provided with the optional drain pump. Contact AGA Marvel customer service at 800-223-3900 or your dealer for ordering.

Drain line coiled and secured to the back of the cabinet. Uncoil, route to an appropriate drain and cut to length.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Risk of electrcal shock or personal injury could occur due to moving components, if the machine compartment access cover is removed before unplugging the ice machine power cord.

INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY

Water Supply

CAUTION

Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this appliance.

This ice machine must be connected to a potable cold water supply line. delivering water pressure between a minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.

Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water supply which is avail- able at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Route the 1⁄4" copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing length to allow a coil to be formed behind the unit for a "service loop" which will allow the appliance to be pulled out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. (See Figure 11). Connect the copper tubing to the "top side" of a cold water pipe to prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment.

A shutoff valve is recommended on the water supply line to ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop reducing the water supply to the unit.

Connect the copper tubing water supply to the water valve

inlet with the compression nut tting provided.

IMPORTANT: Secure the water supply line to the back of the cabinet with the screw and strain relief clamp provided in the corner of the back panel. (See Figure 11).

Make certain all connections are watertight after installation. Form the tubing so that it will not vibrate against the cabinet body or kink when your appliance is moved in and out of position.

This ice machine is designed to make clear ice from the majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results

are unsatisfactory, your water may need to be ltered or

treated. A water specialist can recommend proper water treatment.

CAUTION

To prevent water leaks:

• The water line tting is to be used with copper tubing only. Do not use with plastic tubing.

• Do not use any thread sealers on this water line tting.

NOTE

Reverse osmosis, (RO), water, softened water, and deionized water are not recommended as they can adversely affect the quality and quantity of the ice.

OPERATION OF THE ICE MACHINE

The Ice Making Process

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 dissolved solids than the water it is produced from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator plate (see Figure 12) which gradually freezes the water to

produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes rst, leaving the

dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide clear ice.

Figure 12

When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see Figure

14). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid cutter’s heated wires (see Figure 15). The water containing the dissolved minerals is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

OPERATION OF ICE MACHINE

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. The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur by design to preserve the ice quality and clarity. Allow your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice machine’s bin.

Figure 15

Ice Production

In normal mode the ice machine will produce up to 39 pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when installed in a 72°F ambient with a 55°F water supply. In "ECO" mode (see page 16) the ice machine will produce up to 29 pounds (13.2 kg) of clear ice in the 24 hour period.

NOTE

“Initial” ice production and ice accumulated in the storage

bin will vary signicantly. This is normal. During the rst

24-hours of operation the unit will produce up to 39 lbs of ice at the above ambient and water temperature conditions, but when starting with an empty ice storage bin, the storage bin may only accumulate up to 18 lbs of ice. By design, the ice storage bin is maintained at a temperature slightly above freezing to allow the stored ice to slowly melt, to preserve the ice quality and clarity and assure a constant supply of fresh ice. As ice is accumulated in the bin, the ice production rate will overcome the ice melt and the storage

bin will ll to capacity.

The bin level sensor is located in the ice bin, it senses when the ice supply is low or full and starts or stops the ice making process accordingly.

NOTE

If the water supply is turned off to the ice machine be sure to set the electronic control to the "OFF" position or remove power to the unit.

New Sounds

The ice machine will make sounds that are different than your household refrigerator. Because these sounds are new to you they may be of a concern but are most likely normal. The ice production process will make noises that are not typical in a refrigeration product, ice falling onto hard surfaces, water cascading across the evaporator, and valves opening and closing. Following are some of the

sounds that you may hear:

A buzzing sound will be heard when the water valve

opens to ll the water reservoir.

A rattling noise which could be water owing through the

water line.

A splashing sound when water is owing over the evaporator plate and into the water reservoir.

A "thud" when the ice slab is released from the evaporator plate and slides onto the grid cutter.

"Clicks" when the cubes fall into the ice storage bin.

A gurgling sound which is refrigerant owing in the ice

machine.

An air noise from the condenser fan.

If necessary to gain clearance inside the rough-in opening a hole can be cut through the adjacent cabinet and the power cord routed through this hole to a power outlet. Another way to increase the available opening depth is to recess the power outlet into the rear wall to gain the thickness of the power cord plug. Not all recessed outlet boxes will work for this application as they are too narrow, but a recessed outlet box equivalent to Arlington #DVFR1W is recommended for this application, (see Figure 17).

Troubleshooting guide:

WARNING

Electrocution Hazard

• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the appliance until the main electrical power has been disconnected. Turning the appliance control "OFF" does not remove electrical power from the unit's wiring.

• Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Ice Machine Operation

Ice machine does not operate

Is the ice machine’s power cord plugged in? Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is the electronic control showing the "ICE" position?

Check the control to be sure it is in the "ICE" position.

Is a fuse blown or a circuit breaker been tripped? Replace a blown fuse or reset a tripped circuit breaker.

Is the temperature of the room cooler than it normally is? The minimum room temperature is 55°F (13°C). The

bin thermistor may be sensing the room temperature and shut off before the bin is full of ice. If the room temperature remains low the ice machine may not restart.

Is there a drain pump in the ice machine? The drain pump is designed to temporarily shut the unit off when large quantities of water create a high-limit condition. Wait a few minutes as the drain pump will continue to operate to dispose of the excess water. If there is still water in the ice bin check the drain pump vent line and drain line for obstructions or kinking.

The ice machine is noisy

Many sounds of an ice machine are different than your household refrigerator. This subject is discussed on page

10, but check the following:

Do you hear water being circulated in the ice machine? This is a normal sound as water is added once

every ice making cycle.

Is there a "whoosing" sound? Make sure water is getting to the ice machine. Also check to make sure the drain plug is fully seated in the water reservoir.

Ice Production

Little or no ice production from the ice machine

Is the electronic control set to the "ICE" position? Check the control to be sure it is in the "ICE" position.

Is water getting to the ice machine? Make sure nothing is restricting the water supply such as a closed water valve or a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, or a kinked supply line, or low water pressure.

Has the ice machine just been started? A typical ice production cycle can take up to 11⁄2 hours. Initial start up cycles can take longer. Check the ice machine after 24 hours for ice accumulation in the bin.

Is the reservoir drain plug in place? Check that the reservoir drain plug is properly seated.

Is the water distributor tube restricted? Run a cleaning

cycle to clean the ice machine. Also check any lters to

make sure they are not restricted.

Is the condenser fan air ow restricted? Make sure the grille in the front of the ice machine is open for proper air circulation.

Is the room and/or water temperature to warm? Move the ice machine to an area where the ambient temperature is below 90°F (32°C) or below 100°F (38°C) for freestanding ice machines. The ice machine should not be placed next to a heat source such as an oven. Check the cold water connection.

Is there scale build up in the ice machine? If there is scale build up on the evaporator, the ice machine needs to be cleaned. See "Cleaning the Ice machine".

Is there an ice slab caught between the evaporator plate and the grid cutter? First check to see if the ice

machine is level. If the ice machine is level run a cleaning cycle.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE ICE MACHINE

Ice Quality

Odor, grey color, or off taste in the ice

Is there mineral scale build up on the evaporator plate? The ice machine needs cleaning. See "Cleaning

the Ice Machine".

Is there a high mineral content in the water? The water

may need to be ltered.

Are food items being stored in the ice bin? Remove food from the ice bin.

Unpleasant Odors may require the use of a charcoal lter

on the water supply line.

Clumps of ice

Are there clumps of ice in the bin? If the ice isn’t used on a regular basis it will melt and form into clumps. Break up the ice clumps with the ice scoop.

Ice cubes are too big or too small

Is there low ice consumption? Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin which will affect the size of the cubes. This is normal. When the ice bin needs to be replenished, cubes will return to the regular size.

Is the ice slab releasing? Clean the evaporator. See "Cleaning the Ice Machine".

Is the distributor tube restricted? Check the water line to the ice machine to make sure there are no restrictions

or kinks in the line. Check all lters to make sure they are not restricted. Check that the water ows evenly out of the

distributor tube, if not, clean the ice machine. See "Cleaning the Ice Machine".

Troubleshooting the Drain Pump

NOTE

If the drain pump reservoir (not the ice machine bin)

reaches overll condition, the power to the ice machine will

be shut off.

If the ice machine is not working, check the following:

• Make sure there is power at the receptacle.

• Make sure the ice machine is turned on.

• Make sure the ice bin is not full.

Then check the drain pump: The pump does not run:

• Make sure the pump is plugged in and there is power to the receptacle.

• Check the inlet to the drain pump for debris and clean as needed. Remove clamps and inlet tube from drain pump to check for and remove debris.

• Make certain the vent line is free of kinks/sharp bends or restrictions.

• Make certain there is enough water to activate the drain pump. It will take at least one (1) quart (.95 liters) of water to activate the drain pump.

The pump runs, but no water is pumped out:

• Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.

• Check the discharge line to make certain there are no restrictions.

• Make sure that the discharge tubing has not exceeded the maximum lift of eight (8) feet (2.44 meters) and the horizontal run is not greater than twenty (20) feet (6.1 meters).

Plumbing Problems

Is the drain hose aligned over the drain? Move the ice

machine to align the drain.

Is the ice machine draining properly? Check that there are no kinks or restrictions in the drain lines; this can cause water to back up in the ice bin. Check that foreign material is not blocking the ice bin drain located at the right rear corner of the ice bin. Check the drain pump discharge and vent line or any restrictions or kinks. Check that the drain pump is level.

NOTE

If there are plumbing issues outside of the ice machine, they cannot be repaired by the service technician. A quali-

ed plumber will have to be called.

The pump runs and then quickly turns off repeatedly:

• Check to make certain the drain pump is level.

• Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.

The ice machine is running but not producing ice:

• Check to make sure water is not backing up in the ice bin.

PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE

If the ice machine is moved, not used for an extended period of time, or will be in an area that will be near freezing temperatures, it is necessary to remove any remaining water in the ice-making system.

CAUTION

This ice machine must have all water drained and removed to prevent ice machine damage as well as possible water damage to the surrounding area in freezing conditions. These damages are not covered under warranty.

CAUTION

Do not use any type of anti-freeze or other solution as a substitution for properly draining the ice machine.

Clean the Ice Machine

Cleaning the ice machine will help prevent mold and mildew growth as well as sanitize the ice machine for storage or when it is put back into service. See page 16 for instructions for cleaning the ice machine.
