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.

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 115°F (13 to 46°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.

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 between the minimum, 333⁄4" (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in (CW ↷) and the maximum, 343⁄4" (88.3 cm) by turning the leveling leg out (CCW ↶).

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).

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

1) Decide where you want to place the 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.

3) Make sure the 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 freezer out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 211⁄2" (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 8.

CAUTION

Any nished ooring should be protected with appropriate

material to avoid damage when moving the unit.

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 10).

Freezer operation

The available temperature range of the freezer is -10°F

(-23°C) to 10°F (-12°C).

It may take up to 24 hours for your freezer to reach desired temperature. This will depend on amount of content loaded and number of door opening and closings.

For best results allow freezer to "pull down" to desired set temperature before loading. Once contents are loaded, allow at least 48 hours for temperature to stabilize before making any adjustments to the set temperature.

Alarms

Your electronic control will monitor freezer function and alert you with a series of audible and visual alarms.

• Door Ajar Alarm: If the door has been left

open for over ve (5) minutes, the alarm will sound in one (1) second intervals. The display panel will ash "do" and the Alarm LED located at

the top left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. This will stop as soon as the door is closed.

Figure 13

• Temperature Sensor Fault: If the control- ler detects that the temperature sensor is not properly functioning, a temperature

sensor alarm will sound in one (1) second intervals. "E1" will ash on the display panel and the Alarm LED located

at the top left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. Please call AGA MARVEL Customer Service or your dealer if this error code is displayed.

• High and Low Temperature Alarm: If the storage compartment temperature deviates excessively from the set-point temperature, the

alarm will sound in (1) second intervals. The

display panel will ash either "Hi" or "Lo" de-

pending upon the condition and the Alarm LED

light at the top left of the display below the word "Alarm" will be illuminated. The alarm will remain active until the condition is corrected.

USING YOUR ELECTRONIC CONTROL

NOTE

After a high temperature alarm condition, check all perishables to ensure they are safe for consumption.

NOTE

The temperature alarm may occur as a result of high usage or introduction of warm contents to the storage compartment. If the temperature alarm continues to occur, your unit may require service.

Alarm Mute

Press any key to mute the audible portion of an alarm.

NOTE

This action will only mute the alarm. If the condition that caused the alarm continues, the alarm code will continue to

ash and will sound for 20 seconds every 60 minutes.

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

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.

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.

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.

CARE AND CLEANING

Outdoor Product Long-Term Storage / Winterization:

1. Time to Winterize, when the daily low ambient tempera-

ture is at or below 38°F (3.3°C).

CAUTION

Operation of the unit at ambient temperatures below the recommended Winterization temperature will void your warranty.

2. Turn unit off, (see page 10)

3. Remove all contents.

4. If necessary, move the unit so you can gain access to the rear of the product.

5. Unplug the unit from the power outlet.

6. It is also recommended that the power to the outlet be turned-off if the circuit is not required for other items during the Winter season.

7. When cleaning unit pay particular attention to any cracks and crevices that may have accumulated dirt and debris.

8. Remove the front toe-grille, (see Figure 18), and use a brush and vacuum to clean dirt and debris from beneath the unit.

9. Thoroughly clean the toe-grille and re-install on the

unit. (See Figure 18).

10. Remove the rear access cover, (see Figure 19), and use a brush and vacuum to clean dirt and debris from the machine compartment.

• If the plastic defrost drain pan located under the

compressor contains water, use a sponge to remove as much water as possible.

11. Thoroughly clean the rear access cover and re-install on the unit.

12. Wipe down all interior surfaces with anti-bacterial cleaner to be followed with clean rinse water to remove any residual chemicals which could cause staining. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

3. Turn unit on and conrm your desired control settings.

4. Allow 24-hrs for the unit to stabilize before loading contents.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Background

Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stainless steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained properly.

Stainless steels differ from ordinary carbon steels by the amount of chromium present. It is this chromium that

provides an invisible protective lm on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide lm on the

surface can be damaged or contaminated, which may result in discoloration, staining, or corrosion of the base metal.

Care & Cleaning

Routine cleaning of the stainless steel surfaces will serve to greatly extend the life of your product by removing contaminants. This is especially important in coastal areas which can expose the stainless to severe contaminants such as

halide salts, (sodium chloride).

NOTE

Stainless steel products should never be installed, or stored in close proximity to chlorine chemicals.

Whichever cleaning product you chose, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions of the cleaner manufacturer.

Energy saving tips:

It is strongly recommended to periodically inspect and thoroughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contaminates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.

Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environmental, and usage conditions.

Choosing a Cleaning Product

The choice of a proper cleaning product is ultimately that of the consumer, and there are many products from which to choose. Depending upon the type of cleaning and the degree of contamination, some products are better than others.

Typically the most effective and efcient means for routine

cleaning of most stainless steel products is to give the surfaces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rubbing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.

Although some products are called "stainless steel cleaners," some may contain abrasives which could scratch the

surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide lm),

and some many contain chlorine bleach which will dull, tarnish or discolor the surface if not completely removed.

After the stainless surfaces have been thoroughly cleaned, a good quality car wax may be applied to help maintain the

nish.

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Before You Call for Service

If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through this manual rst. If the problem persists, check the troubleshooting guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem may be something very simple that can be solved without a service call. However, it may be required

to contact your dealer or a qualied service technician.

NOTE

Your freezer has been designed to be very energy efcient.

Because of this the storage compartment has an almost air tight seal. Therefore when accessing contents and closing the door, the warm air intrusion will collapse due to the cold compartment temperature creating a slight vacuum inside the unit. This may make the door harder to open for about 10 seconds until the internal pressure equalizes with the exterior.

NOTE

Your product has an automatic defrost feature that utilizes an electric heater element. Periodically during defrost you may observe the following:

• Water dripping and running sounds as a result of the frost melt.

• Sizzling and popping sounds from water dripping on the heater element.

• A faint reddish glow in the freezer compartment from the electric heater element.

These are all “normal” operating characteristics related to refrigeration product incorporating automatic defrost. They do not represent any product fault or safety issue.

CAUTION

In the unlikely event you lose cooling in your unit, do not unplug the product from the electric supply, but do call

frost build-up on the evaporator cooling coil. In this case, removing power to the unit will result in the melting of this excessive quantity of ice, which could generate melt water that exceeds the capacity of the defrost drain system and could result in water damage to your home. The end-user will be ultimately responsible for any water damage caused by prematurely turning the unit off without appropriately managing the excess water run-off.
