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.

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.

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.

3

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

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
ensure your product performs to specications, the recom­mended installation location temperature range is from 55

to 100°F (13 to 38°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. Overlay door models with articulated hinges are
intended for built-in applications only.

Front Grille,
keep this area
open.

Front Leveling
Legs

Figure 2

Rear

Leveling

Legs

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appli-

ance should be set so the unit is rmly positioned on the
oor and level from side to side and front to back. The over-

all height of your Marvel appliance may be adjusted higher

(by turning the leveling leg out, CCW) and lower (by turning
the leveling leg in, CW) dimensions as shown in Table "A".

!

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 and loss of cooling capacity. 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).

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid

surface and protect the oor beneath the legs to avoid
scratching the oor. With the assistance of another person,

lean the appliance back to access the front leveling legs.
Raise or lower the legs to the required dimension by turning
the legs. Repeat this process for the rear by tilting the appli­ance forward using caution. On a level surface check the
appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.

The front grille screws may be loosened and the grille ad­justed to the desired height. When adjustment is complete

tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

keypad

System Status

indicators

control

To wake the display press any keypad. A conrm tone will

sound, and the current storage compartment temperature
will be displayed.

The control display is covered with a clear plastic lm. This
lm may be removed by carefully lifting the lm at a corner.

On initial power up, the control display will indicate a
"Power Failure" alarm. This is a normal condition as the ap­pliance was powered-up at the factory for quality inspection
and then removed from power. A momentary press of the
"On/Off" keypad will reset this alarm condition. (See Alarms

section on page 11).

Sleep mode:

If no keypads are pressed for 60 seconds, the display will
enter sleep mode to conserve power. The control panel will
go dark with the exception of the system status "OK" indi­cator which will remain enabled. Alarm conditions will wake

the display, (see alarms on page 11).

The sleep mode can be disabled if you prefer to have the
display on continuously. Press and hold the "Lock" key­pad until the display goes past "Loc" and reads "nSL". To
enable the sleep mode, repeat the instruction, again going
past "Loc" until the display reads "SLP".

Turning your appliance ON and OFF:

If the appliance is "On", (and out of sleep mode) the tem­perature will be shown in the display area of the control.
To turn the appliance "Off", press and hold the "On/Off"
keypad for 4-seconds. "OFF" will now be displayed on the
control.

To make the following changes to the control settings
(turning the appliance ON/OFF, adjusting the tempera­ture, and activating vacation mode), the control must
be awake.

To turn the appliance "On", press and hold the "On/Off"
keypad for 4-seconds.

USING YOUR ELECTRONIC CONTROL

Adjusting the temperature:

To set or check the set-point temperature (with the control

out of sleep mode), press the "-" or "+" keypads. "SET" will

be indicated on the user interface panel and the current

set-point temperature will display and ash. Subsequent

presses of the "-" or "+" keypads will adjust the temperature
colder or warmer respectively. When you have reached
your desired set-point temperature, press the "On/Off" key­pad to accept, or do nothing and the "Set" mode will time­out in 10-seconds accepting the displayed temperature as
the new set-point.

The available set-point temperature range for your ap-

pliance is 34°F (1.2°C) to 46°F (7.9°C). If you attempt to

adjust the temperature outside of this range you will receive

an audible notication.

!

CAUTION

If you are using the appliance as a refrigerator for perish­able foods, the set-point temperature should be set be-

tween 34°F and 42° F (1.2° C and 5.7° C).

Factors that affect the storage compartment stabilized
temperature:

• Changes to temperature setting.

• Room temperature changes.

• Temperature of stored contents.

- Loading warm contents.

- Cold content load will delay the change to a warmer
set-point temperature.

- Warm content load will delay the change to a colder
set-point temperature.

• Usage, (number and duration of the door openings).

• Installation of the appliance in direct sunlight or next to
a heat source.

Temperature mode:

The temperature mode is preset from the factory in Fahren-

heit (°F) but you have the option to change it to Centigrade
(°C). To change the mode, press and hold the "-" keypad,

while pressing the "+" keypad, then release the "-" keypad.

The temperature will now be displayed in Centigrade (°C).

Repeat the procedure to change the temperature mode

back to Fahrenheit (°F).

When initially loading your product with warm contents, it
may take up to 48-hours for the storage compartment tem­perature to stabilize.

When making temperature set-point changes, it may take
up to 24-hours for the stored contents to stabilize at your
new set-point temperature.

Temperature Sensor Error Codes

The temperature sensors are monitored continuously. Any
OPEN or SHORTED circuit condition will initiate an

condition can be reset by momentarily pressing the
"On/Off" keypad. If this alarm occurs, it is recommend­ed that you check the condition of any perishables,
even if the appliance is operating normally and the tem­perature has recovered, as prolonged power outages
could result in excessive temperature excursions which
may spoil perishables.

Temp

ALARM RESET

• Temperature alarm - If the storage compart-

ment temperature deviates excessively from your
set-point temperature for an extended period of time,

the "TEMP" indicator will ash, and an audible tone

will sound every 60 seconds. Additionally, an "ALARM
RESET" indicator will be displayed below the "ON/
OFF" keypad.

Door Ajar

ALARM RESET

• Door ajar - If the door is open, or not closed prop-

erly, for more than 5-minutes the System Status OK

indicator will turn-off, the "Door Ajar" indicator will ash,

OVERLAY DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION

This alarm condition can be reset by momentarily
pressing the "On/Off" keypad. If this alarm occurs it
is recommended that you check the condition of your
stored contents, even though the appliance is operating
normally and the temperature has recovered, as pro­longed temperature excursions could spoil perishables.

Door Ajar

NOTE

Multiple alarms are possible, i.e.- "Door Ajar" for a pro­longed period may trigger a "Temp" alarm, in which case
both "Door Ajar" and "Temp" indicators will activate.

Temp

Vacation mode:

This operating mode can be used to save energy during
high cost energy periods, or when you won't be using your
appliance for an extended period of time by disabling the
lights, alarm tones, and keypad entry tones. Vacation mode
also serves as a Sabbath mode, disabling functions and
its controls in accordance with the weekly Sabbath and
religious holidays observed within the Orthodox Jewish
community. When used as Sabbath mode, you may open
or close the door at any time to access contents without
concern of directly turning on or off any lights, digital read­outs, solenoids, fans, valves, compressor, icons, tones, or
alarms.

When activated, the display, alarm indicators and tones,
keypad touch tones, interior lights, and all options are dis­abled. All keypad functions are disabled, with the exception
of the "On/Off" keypad which is required to exit Vacation­mode. Storage compartment temperatures are monitored
and controlled at the settings prior to entering Vacation
mode.

If you purchased an overlay panel model, your unit is
equipped with articulated hinges to allow fully integrated
built-in installations. Custom panel thicknesses of 5⁄8" (15

mm) and 3⁄4" (18 mm) are accommodated.

!

CAUTION

It is important to use the factory provided grille that came

with the product to assure proper air ow is maintained

through the condenser. The use of a custom grille is not
recommended and will void the warranty.

!

WARNING

Overlay panel models are designed for use with built­in installations only. Use in freestanding installations

could result in personal injury.

Step 1: Removing the Door

With a phillips screwdriver remove the screw and "P" clamp
from the bottom of the door near the hinge. See Figure 15b.

Disconnect the door wire harness by pressing and holding
down the locking tab on the wire connector and pulling the

Open the door and loosen the screws holding the hinges to

the cabinet (2 at the top and 2 at the bottom hinge). Do not

remove the screws but loosen them enough so the hinges
can be slipped off of the screws when sliding the door to
the side.

To enter Vacation Mode (with the control out of sleep

mode), press and hold the "On/Off" keypad until the display
goes past "OFF" and reads "VAC". The display will ash

"VAC" 3-times to acknowledge your request, then will
display "VAC" continuously until Vacation mode is exited.
A power outage will not exit Vacation mode, exiting can
only be accomplished manually. To exit Vacation mode and
return to normal operation, press and hold the "On/Off"
keypad until the control displays the temperature.

OVERLAY DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION

!

CAUTION

Weight of overlay door panel must not
exceed 15 pounds (6.8 kg) for a solid
door model.

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 17a. 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 22). 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 15 and

15a). 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 15b). Reconnect the wire harness,
(See Figure 16).

CAUTION

The cutout dimensions shown in Figure 39 are based on
a 255⁄16" (64.3 cm) deep counter top. Your counter top may
be different than this and require other front to back dimen­sioning. Refer to the product dimensions on pages 6 and 7
when determining the required dimensions.

4. If you are installing your keg refrigerator under a coun­ter you will need to drill 5 holes in the counter top to

mount the tower. The rst hole is a 11⁄2" diameter hole

located at the center of the tower for the beer line, lo­cate approximately 131⁄2" (34.3 cm) from the front edge
of the counter top (based on a counter top depth of
255⁄16"). Next drill the 4 tower mounting holes per the di­mensions in Figure 39. The hole diameter is dependent
on the counter top material and if screw anchors are
required. The screws supplied are in the literature pack
and are a #10 x 1" type AB stainless steel screw. Mark
and cut the rectangular cutout for the drain sump. After
the holes are drilled and the keg refrigerator is in place
under the counter top feed the beer line through the
tower gasket, the 11⁄2" hole in the counter top and the
hole in the top of the keg refrigerator. Mount the tower
to the counter top with the 4 screws provided. Place
the counter top drain sump, from the literature pack, in
the rectangular hole with the radius cutout to the rear
around the tower and place the grate in the sump.

5. Mount the regulator to the CO2 tank (connection ).

CARE AND CLEANING AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Front Grille

Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air ow open­ings in front of the cabinet. At least once or twice a year,
brush or vacuum lint and dirt from the front grille area (see

page 4).

!

CAUTION

SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect electrical power from the
appliance before cleaning with soap and water.

Cabinet

The painted cabinet can be washed with either a mild soap
and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER
use abrasive scouring cleaners.

Interior

Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. Do
NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or
undiluted detergent.

Care of Appliance

1. Avoid leaning on the door, you may bend the door
hinges or tip the appliance.

2. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming or mop­ping near the front of the appliance. Damage to the
grille can occur.

3. Periodically clean the interior of the appliance as
needed.

4. Periodically check and/or clean the front grille as
needed.

The following suggestions will minimize the
cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance

(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other

heat sources.

2. Install product out of direct sunlight.

3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be­neath 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. When initially loading your new product, or whenever
large quantities of warm contents are placed within
refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door
openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull
down to compartment set temperature.

6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will
require less appliance run time than an empty compart­ment.

7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents
stored in your appliance.

8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before plac­ing in product.

9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.

10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature
that meets your personal preference and provides the
proper storage for your stored contents.

11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-

riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem­ perature for the stored contents.

12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the

appliance requires the door to be open for an extended
period of time.

In the Event of a Power Failure

If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as pos­sible. Minimize the number of door openings while the
power is off so as not to adversely affect the appliance's
temperature.
