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.

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 "B".

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).

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).

INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY

MODEL ML24RI AND MODEL ML24RF WITH OPTIONAL ICE-MAKER KIT

NOTE

If you have model ML24RI you have a factory installed ice-

maker.

An optional ice-maker kit (part number S42418151) is avail­able for model ML24RF which includes all of the necessary

parts for installation. The kit can be obtained from Marvel

customer service by calling 800-223-3900.

Water Supply

!

CAUTION

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

Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water supply which is avail­able at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Bend
the 1⁄4" copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not
to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing length
and coil it behind the unit to form a "service loop" which will
allow the appliance to be pulled out from the installation for
servicing or cleaning. 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. Secure the

water supply line to the back of the cabinet with the screw
and clamp provided in the corner of the back panel. (See

Figure 7).

Water pressure must be at a minimum of 20 psi for proper
operation and a maximum of 120 psi.

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

NOTE

• Do not use any thread sealers on these water line t­tings.

• Reverse osmosis, softened water, and de-ionized water
are not recommended as they will adversely affect the
quality of the ice.

ICE-MAKER OPERATION

!

CAUTION

The water supply to the ice-maker must be turned on prior
to turning the ice-maker on. Failure to do so will cause
rapid dry cycling of the ice-maker mold heater resulting in
temperature control issues in the freezer compartment.

Ice-maker operation

• The unit must be installed level for proper ice-maker
operation.

• The shutoff arm wire must be down in its lowest posi-

tion for the ice-maker to operate. (See Figure 8).

• When the freezer section and ice-maker unit has suf-

ciently cooled, the ice-maker will harvest ice cubes

automatically.

• When the ice bucket is full, the ice-maker will automati­cally shut off.

• You may manually stop the ice-maker by raising the
shut off arm to the locking position at the up most posi-

tion. (See Figure 8).

NOTE

It is recommended the ice-maker is shut off when remov­ing the bucket, or ice may be dispensed onto the freezer

compartment oor.

Figure 8

Arm down, ice-maker

will operate

Arm up, stops operation

Long and short term storage of ice-maker:

When operation of the appliance is to be discontinued
for any length of time, the ice cube mold in the ice-maker
should be emptied by allowing the ice-maker to dispense
cubes with the water supply turned off.

1. Turn the water supply off.

2. Raise the ice-maker bail arm.

3. Empty the ice bucket.

4. Replace the ice bucket in the unit and lower the bail
arm.

If the ice is not used regularly, it will clump together with
time. For best ice results, discard ice in the bin as required
and allow the ice-maker to make a new fresh batch of ice.
Shut-off the ice-maker by raising the shut-off arm before
removing the bucket.

Dispensing of the cubes should occur within 2 hours. After
the ice-cubes dispense - empty, clean, and replace the ice
cube bucket, and raise the bail arm.

Step by step instructions for locating the po­sition of the bracket:

1) Decide where you want to place the refrigerator / freezer.
Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the oor,
leaving 1" (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow

room for the anti-tip bracket.

2) Raise the rear leveling legs approximately 1⁄4" (6 mm) to

allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit
by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the
leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clock­wise will lower the unit.

NOTE

If installing on a concrete oor, concrete fasteners are
required, (not included with the anti-tip kit).

!

CAUTION

Any nished ooring should be protected with appropriate

material to avoid damage when moving the unit.

Floor Mount Installation

The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the oor in the left

or right rear corner of the refrigerator / freezer as shown in

Figure 9.

3) Make sure the refrigerator / freezer is in the desired
location, then mark on the oor the rear and side corner

of the cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If
the installation does not allow marking the rear corner of
the cabinet, then make temporary lines on the oor mark­ing the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide
the refrigerator / freezer out of the way. From the temporary

line extend the sidewall line back 211⁄2" (54.6 cm) as shown
in Figure 10.

4) Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the oor so

the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet
mark, and the "V" notches on the anti-tip bracket line up

with the end of the 211⁄2" (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet
line).

5) Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the oor using the supplied
screw. (See Figure 10).

6) Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear

cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engag­ing the slot.

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 12).

USING YOUR ELECTRONIC CONTROL

Adjusting the temperature:

NOTE

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.

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).

• Use of the storage compartment display lighting, (glass

door product only).

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

To change the set temperature for a particular compart­ment, with the compartment enabled and 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 time-out in 10-sec­onds accepting the displayed temperature as the new
set-point.

The available set-point temperature range for your appli-

ance is -6°F (-21°C) to 6°F (-14°C) for the freezer com­partment (ice-maker) and 34°F (1.2°C) to 42°F (5.7°C) for

the refrigerator compartment. If you attempt to adjust the
temperature outside of these ranges you will receive an

audible notication.

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

!

WARNING

Use extreme caution with the articulated hinges. The
hinge is self closing and many pinch points exist prior
to built-in installation. Do not remove the cabinet "Z"

bracket from the top of the cabinet.

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

connector apart. See Figure 16.

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.

!

WARNING

The articulated hinges have many pinch points. Care­fully close / collapse the hinges as soon as the door is
removed from the cabinet.

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 "C", 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).

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.

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.

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.

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 and raise the ice-maker
bail arm to stop ice production.

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

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

Light assembly replacement

All models use LED lamps to illuminate the interior of the
appliance. This component is very reliable, but should one

fail, contact a qualied service technician for replacement

of the LED.

22

DOOR ALIGNMENT AND OBTAINING SERVICE

Door alignment for solid and glass door
models:

The door should be parallel to the sides and top of the ap­pliance. If alignment is necessary the door may be adjusted
by loosening the 2 screws which secure the door adjust-

ment bracket on the bottom of the door (see Figure 31a)
