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 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.

!

WARNING

An optional stacking kit is required to stack products.
Failure to use a stacking kit could result in personal
injury. Contact your dealer or Marvel customer service
at 800-223-3900 to order.

!

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. Marvel does not recommend the use

of a custom made grille as air ow may be restricted (See

Figure 2).

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 ↶).

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 drawer refrigerator.

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 drawer as shown in
Figure 7.

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

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 8).

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 10).

Starting your appliance:

Plug the appliance power cord into a 115 volt wall outlet.
Your appliance is shipped from the factory in the "On" posi­tion and will begin start-up of cooling as soon as power is

supplied. If the appliance does not start, conrm that the

wall outlet has power, and that the control is in the "On"
position, (See "Turning your appliance On and Off" below).

Lock

keypad

System

Status

indicators

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 12).

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 12).

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.

10

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 ap­pliance is 34°F (1.2°C) to 42°F (5.7°C). If you attempt to
adjust the temperature outside of this range you will receive

an audible notication.

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 mode:

The temperature mode is preset from the factory in Fahren­heit (°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).

Control lock:

The control panel can be locked to avoid unintentional
changes. To lock the control, press and hold the "Lock" key­pad until the display reads "Loc" then immediately release

your nger from the keypad. The lock icon will ash 3-times

and then continuously illuminate. When the control panel is
locked, only the Lock keypad, System Status OK indicator,
and the Alarm indicator are active. To un-lock the control
panel, repeat this instruction until the display reads "nLc"

then immediately release your nger from the keypad.

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 drawer openings).

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