INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE
!
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.
!
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. Your ice production will be negatively impacted outside these recommended temperatures.
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.
!
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.
Front Leveling Legs

Rear
Leveling
Legs
Leveling Legs
To assure proper performance from your ice machine it is important to level the unit in the installation. Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set
so the unit is rmly positioned on the oor and level from
side to side and front to back. The overall height of your Marvel appliance may be adjusted between the minimum, 34" (86.4 cm), by turning the leveling leg in and the maxi­mum, 35" (88.9 cm) by turning the leveling leg out.
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 to raise or lower the grille to the desired height. When adjustment is com­plete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

• 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.
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 lo­cal 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.
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 is provided with a factory installed drain pump in the rear of the unit and drain line tubing.
The Marvel Drain Pump collects the melted ice water and pumps it to a maximum lift of eight (8) feet (2.44 meters), see Table A.
Discharge tubing is coiled up and attached to the back of the ice machine. The tubing needs to be plumbed and con­nected to a sanitary sewer. Refer to Figure 7.
!
CAUTION
Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this ice machine and drain lines.
Figure 6
!
CAUTION
This drain pump is designed for use with Marvel ice ma­chines only and is approved for use with water only.

INSTALLING THE DRAIN PLUMBING
Determine the maximum allowable run of your drain hose:
For every 1 foot (0.31 meters) of rise, subtract 10 ft. (3.1 m) from the maximum allowable run of 100 ft. (31 m).
If additional tubing beyond what is supplied is required, you must use tubing with a minimum 3⁄8" inner diameter and ap- propriate tubing coupler and clamps.
Drain line coiled and secured to the back of the cabinet. Uncoil, route to an appropriate drain and cut to length.
Drain pump vent tube. Keep this open to assure air
ows freely
as water enters the pump reser­voir.
Procedure for testing drain system:
NOTE
Drain pump models have a safety feature that will shut-off power to the unit if a high-limit condition occurs to prevent
ooding. Typically resulting from a restricted drain line,
(water in-rush exceeds water pump out). Pump will contin­ue to run until the high-limit condition is corrected, at which time power will be restored to the unit.
Once the drain line is plumbed, perform the following:
1. Plug the ice machine into 115v power supply.
2. Place unit in the nal installation location.
3. Turn the unit off via the user interface touch-pad, (dis­play will indicate “OFF”).
4. Slowly pour 3 quarts (2.8 liters) of water into the ice storage bin. All water should drain completely.
5. If the water does not drain, or a power interrupt occurs,
check the following:
Drain line was run according to the guidelines for
maximum allowable rise and run as shown in
Table A.
There are no kinks or restrictions in the drain line.
The vent tube on the back of the unit is open (see
Figure 7).
Your drain line is plumbed into an open drain (Figure 8).
After checking the above requirements, repeat step 4 and verify the water drains completely without power interrup-
tion. If problems persist call a qualied service technician
and/or plumber.

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.
If you have poor water quality, (exceptionally hard or chlori-
nated), a supply line water lter is recommended.
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 9). 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 9).
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.
NOTE
Reverse osmosis, (RO), water, softened water, and de­ionized water are not recommended as they can adversely affect the quality and quantity of the ice.

Procedure for Testing Drain System (both gravity and drain pump models)
Drain pump models have a safety feature that will interrupt power to the unit if a high-limit condition occurs to prevent
ooding. This safety feature can be initiated by a restriction in the drain system and will continue until high-limit condition
is corrected, at which time power will be restored to the unit. Power interruption can be detected when no icons are visible in the display area of the user interface (Figure 10). Once power is returned, a startup chime will sound followed by a self-test, and "OFF" should be visible in the display area.

Once the drain line is plumbed, perform the following:
1. Plug the ice machine into 115v power supply.
2. Place unit in the nal installation location.
3. Turn the unit off via the user interface (display will indicate “OFF”). The drain pump will still be operational during off mode if the unit has one.
4. Slowly pour 3-qts of water into the ice storage bin. All water should drain completely.
5. If water drains fully and without power interruption, the drain system has been successfully tested and further installation of the ice machine can be continued.
6. If the water does not drain or a power interrupt occurs, check the following:
a. There are no kinks or restrictions in the drain line. (Note: Drain line needs to be cut to the required length and any
excess tubing should be removed to prevent possible restrictions).
b. Drain line was run according to the guidelines for maxiumum allowable rise and run as shown in the table below:
Rise Above Floor Level 8 ft. 9 ft. 10 ft. Maxium Allowable Drain Line Length 20 ft. 15 ft. 10 ft.
b. Your drain line is plumbed into an open drain (Figure 11). c. The vent tube on the back of the unit is open (Figure 12).

OPERATION OF 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 15) which gradually freezes the water to
produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes rst, leaving the
dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water which is discarded each ice production cycle to assure the highest quality clean ice possible..
Figure 15
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see Figure
16). Here, the ice slab is cut into cubes by the grid cutter’s
heated wires (see Figure 17). The water containing the dis­solved minerals is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.
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.
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 15) the ice machine will produce up to 29 pounds (13.2 kg) of clear ice under these conditions 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.
Figure 16
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. Upon initial start-up allow your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice machine’s bin.
Figure 17
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 valves
open to ll or drain the water reservoir.
A rattling noise which could be water owing through the water line.
A splashing sound when water is owing over the evaporator 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 water or 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 19).

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.
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 initially 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 32a. 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 37). 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 Figure 30 and Figure 33a). 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 30b). Reconnect the wire harness, (See Figure 31).
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.

!
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.
There is a drain pump in the ice machine. The drain
pump is designed to temporarily shut the unit o when large quanes of water create a high-limit condion. Wait a few minutes as the drain pump will connue to operate to dispose of the excess water. If there is sll water in the ice bin check the drain pump vent line and drain line for obstrucons 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 9,
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 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). 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.
23
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 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” on page 16 and run "Clean Mode" before calling for service.
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”.
Plumbing Problems
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 for the corresponding horizontal run. See Table A on page 6.
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.
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 for 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.
24
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.
