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.

! CAUTION

Outdoor Installation

Do not install in a location where the ice machine will be exposed to direct sun exposure as this may result in unsatisfactory performance.

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 specifications, the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 90°F (13 to 32°C) for built in ice machines and 55 to 100°F (13 to 38°C) for freestanding ice machines. Ice machines will not perform correctly in ambient temperatures less than 55°F (13°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.

! CAUTION

Front Grille

Do not obstruct the front grille. The openings within the front grille allow air to flow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restrictions to this air flow 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. Marvel does not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow may be restricted. (See Figure 2).

Front Grille, keep this area open.

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the appliance should be set so the unit is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your Marvel appliance may be adjusted higher (by turning the leveling leg out) and lower (by turning the leveling leg in). Cabinet height adjustment dimensions are shown in Table "A".

To adjust the leveling legs, place the appliance on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. 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 and lower the grille to the desired height. When adjustment is

complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

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.

Use 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water supply which is available 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 11). 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 fitting.

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 11).

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 filtered or treated. A water specialist can recommend proper water treatment.

! CAUTION

To prevent water leaks:

•The water line fitting is to be used with copper tubing only. Do not use with plastic tubing.

•Do not use any thread sealers on this water line fitting.

INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY

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 flooding. 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 12). Once power is returned, a startup chime will sound followed by a self-test, and "OFF" should be visible in the display area.

Figure 12: User interface display during power interruption.

Once the drain line is plumbed, perform the following:

1.	Plug the ice machine into 115v power supply.
2.	Place unit in the final 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.

c. Your drain line is plumbed into an open drain (Figure 13). d. The vent tube on the back of the unit is open (Figure 14).

OPERATION OF THE 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 first, leaving the dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide clear ice.

Figure 15

When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see

Figure 17). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid cutter’s heated wires (see Figure 18). The water containing the dissolved minerals is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

OPERATION OF ICE MACHINE

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. Allow your ice

machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice machine’s bin.

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 16) the ice machine will produce up to 29 pounds (13.2 kg) of clear ice in the 24 hour period.

Figure 18

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.

NOTE

“Initial” ice production and ice accumulated in the storage bin will vary significantly. This is normal. During the first

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 fill to capacity.

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 valve opens to fill the water reservoir.

A rattling noise which could be water flowing through the water line.

A splashing sound when water is flowing 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 refrigerant flowing in the ice machine.

An air noise from the condenser fan.

If necessary to gain clearance inside the roughin 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 20).

Starting your clear ice machine:	ICE
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.

DOOR Signifies a door ajar alarm condition.

Cleaning is recommended or the appliance CLEAN is in the clean mode.

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, confirm the wall outlet has power, and the control is in the "ICE" mode, (see Options section below). Do not start the ice machine in "ECO" mode. "ECO" mode should only be used after there is a full bin of ice.

CLEANING YOUR ICE MACHINE

Clean reminder:

A "CLEAN" reminder will occur every 6 months

to remind you that it may be time to clean your CLEAN appliance. Over time mineral build up on the cold evaporator plate can occur which can adversely

affect the quality of your ice. This build-up is dependent on your water source and usage. Normal ice production will continue while the "CLEAN" reminder

is displayed. You may clear the "CLEAN" reminder at any time by momentarily pressing the "ON/OFF" icon. When reset, the "CLEAN" reminder will reset and not occur for another 6 months. If you choose to clean the appliance at this time, see the options menu section below.

Clean mode:

To ensure maximum performance and ice quality, it is recommended to clean your ice machine once every six months. This simple cleaning routine will also ensure water and energy use continues at optimum efficiency.

Once you have your cleaner:

Turn the ice machine off by pressing and holding the "ON/OFF" icon for 3 seconds. "OFF" will be displayed on the control.

OFF

Remove all ice from the ice bin (see Figure 27).

Drain the water from the water reservoir by removing the black plug from the bottom of the fresh water reservoir (see Figure 28). After the water is drained, replace the plug in the bottom of the reservoir.

Allow all of the ice to fall from the evaporator plate and remove any ice from the grid cutter. If there is ice

embedded in the grid cutter wires, wait for it to melt and fall out. Do not try to remove ice that is embedded in the grid cutter wires as that may break the wires. (See Figures 24 and 25).

NOTE

Homes with poor water quality or high clear ice usage might require more frequent cleaning.

To clean your ice machine you will need to purchase a "nickel safe" ice maker cleaner. Cleaner can be obtained by contacting Marvel customer service at 800-223-3900

or email [e-mail].

! CAUTION

Forcing ice through the grid cutter will break the grid cutter wires.

Remove all ice from the evaporator plate and grid cutter area that is not embedded in wires

CARE AND CLEANING AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS

OBTAINING SERVICE

Front Grille

Be sure that nothing obstructs the required air flow 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.

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 sever contaminants such as halide salts (sodium chloride).

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 contaminants. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.

Interior

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

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 qualified service technician for replacement of the LED.

Energy Saving Tips

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your ice machine appliance.

1.Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (stove, dishwasher, etc.). heating air duct, or other heat sources.

2.Install product out of direct sunlight.

3.Assure the front grille vents at front of the ice machine beneath the 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.Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.

6.Set the control to the “off” position if accessing the interior to spot clean or remove large quantities of ice requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.

7.Use ECO mode if maximum ice production quantities are not required.

8.Use the delay start function if the ice machine will not be used for long periods of time.

Your ice machine is now ready to

restart. Press and hold the "ON/ ICE OFF" icon for 3 seconds until "ICE is

displayed.

After cleaning it is recommended you discard the ice produced after 3 hours of ice production.

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 31b.

Disconnect the door wire harness by pressing and holding down the locking tab on the wire connector and pulling the connector apart. See Figure 32.

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.

With a helper, and being careful not to scratch the cabinet or the door, slide the door to the side about 1⁄2 inch and remove the hinges and door from the unit.

!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.
