!

CAUTION

If the appliance was shipped, handled, or stored in other
than an upright position for any period of time, allow the ap­pliance to sit upright for a period of at least 24 hours before
plugging in. This will assure oil returns to the compressor.
Plugging the appliance in immediately may cause damage
to internal parts.

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. Overlay door models with articulated hinges are
intended for built-in applications only.

!

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.

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".

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).

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 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.

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 a 1/4" compression nut  tting.

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.

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 13) 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 13

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

15). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid cut­ter’s heated wires (see Figure 16). 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 16

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 evapo-

rator 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 18).

Starting your clear ice machine:

Plug the ice machine into a 115 volt wall outlet,
(see page 5 for electrical information). Your appli­ance is shipped from the factory in the "ICE" mode and will
begin start-up of ice production after the start-up routine.

Upon applying power to the unit, or after a power interrup­tion, the Ice machine will perform a self-test, followed by a
harvest cycle to clear any in-process ice production. This
start-up routine, (“after power is applied to the unit”), takes
approximately 13 minutes to complete before an ice pro­duction cycle starts.

ICE

CLEAN

Cleaning is recommended or the appliance
is in the clean mode.

If the appliance does not start, con rm the wall outlet has

power, and the control is in the "ICE" mode, (see Options
section below). Do not start the ice machine in "ECO"
mode. "ECO" mode should only be used after there is a full
bin of ice.

Step 4: Assemble the panel to the door

The preferred method of attaching the panel to the door
is to clamp the panel to the door so it cannot move while
drilling the screw pilot holes. Use bar clamps or "C" clamps
with pads on the clamping surfaces that will not mar the
panel or the door. The custom overlay panel should be

 ush with the top of the door and centered along the width

of the door. See Figure 30a. Drill holes through the gasket
extrusion using the 10 holes as pilot holes. Use the drill
size from the chart in Table "B", being careful not to drill
through the front surface of the panel. If the overlay panel is
thinner than 5⁄8" (16 mm) thick shorter screws will have to be
obtained. Fasten the panel to the door with the 10 screws
provided in the literature pack. (See Figure 35). Remove
the clamps and replace the gasket in the gasket extrusion
channels of the door. Some force may be required to seat
the gasket into the channels. Be sure the gasket corners
are seated properly.

Step 5: Install the door

Carefully open the top and bottom hinges on the door being
careful as there are many pinch points. Place the hinges
over the 4 screws in the cabinet, 2 at the top and 2 at the
bottom and slide the door into position. Tighten the 4 hinge
screws with a phillips screwdriver. (See Figures 28 and
28a). Place wire harness from the grille and mount to the
bottom of the door with the screw and "P" clamp removed
in step 1. (See Figure 28b). Reconnect the wire harness,
(See Figure 29).

Step 6: Secure the cabinet

Use the #8 x 3⁄4" black screws from the literature pack to
secure the counter top to the cabinet top through the holes
in the cabinet "Z" bracket.

(stove, dishwasher, etc.). heating air duct, or other heat
sources.

2. Install product out of direct sunlight.

3. Assure the front grille vents at front of the ice machine
beneath the door are not obstructed and kept clean to
allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel
heat.

4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).

5. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.

6. Set the control to the “off” position if accessing the
interior to spot clean or remove large quantities of ice
requires the door to be open for an extended period of
time.

7. Use ECO mode if maximum ice production quantities
are not required.

8. Use the delay start function if the ice machine will not
be used for long periods of time.

!

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

11, 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 fl 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) for built-in ice machines 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.

24

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.

25

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 17 for instruc­tions for cleaning the ice machine.

!

WARNING

Electrocution Hazard

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

Draining and Removing Water from the Ice­Making System with a Gravity Drain.

1. Turn off the water supply to the ice machine.

2. Disconnect the water supply  tting at the inlet of the
water valve. (See Figure 37a).

3. Change the electronic control to the "CLEAN" position
for approximately one (1) minute. This will energize and
open the water valve and remove most of the water
from the water valve and the water valve’s outlet water
line to the reservoir.

4. Change the electronic control to the "OFF" position.
This will energize and open the drain valve to drain the
reservoir and the ice machine drain system.
