WARNING
WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies
Child entrapment and suocation 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 o 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 specications, 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

Legs
Leveling Legs
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, 333⁄4" (85.7 cm), by turning the leveling leg in, and the maximum, 343⁄4" (88.3 cm) by turning the
leveling leg out.
!
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).
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).

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 8).

STARTING YOUR APPLIANCE
Power Failure
ALARM RESET
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, conrm that the
wall outlet has power, and that the control is in the "On"
position, (See "Turning your appliance On and O" below).
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/O" keypad will reset this alarm condition. (See Alarms
section on page 10).
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.
