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.

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).

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.
They can be hazardous and can degrade product
performance.

• This appliance should not, under any circumstanc­es, be installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.

• Do not remove the grounding prong from the power

cord. (See Figure 3).

• Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 4).

• Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the
appliance. Doing so may cause an electrical shock,
which may result in severe injury or death.

Electrical Connection

A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.

Figure 4

This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor­dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo-

cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 6). If the circuit does

not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power
supply. The third ground prong should not, under any cir­cumstances, be cut or removed.

INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY

MODEL MO24RF WITH OPTIONAL ICE-MAKER KIT

NOTE

An optional ice-maker kit (part number S42418151) is avail­able for model MO24RF 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

Water line from water valve
to ice-maker

!

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 brass union

with the compression nut tting provided. (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.

6

OPTIONAL 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).

Figure 8

Arm down, ice-maker

will operate

Arm up, stops operation

NOTE

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

compartment oor.

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.

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).

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS AND OBTAINING SERVICE

Energy saving tips: If Service is Required:

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.

!

CAUTION

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

a qualied service technician immediately. It is possible

that the loss of cooling capacity is a result of excessive
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.

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.

!
