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 the 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 specifications, 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 countertops can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed. All Marvel Professional 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 airflow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason, it is important this area not be obstructed and that the grille openings be kept clean. Marvel does not recommend the use of a custom-made grille as airflow may be restricted.

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, CCW) and lower (by turning the leveling leg in, CW).
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, the surface checks the appliance for levelness and adjusts 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 2).

ELECTRICAL

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, a 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.

NOTE
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCIs are generally not used on circuits with power equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time unless required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

CARE AND CLEANING

Outdoor Product Long-Term Storage / Winterization:

1. Time to Winterize, when the daily low ambient temperature is at or below 38°F (3.3°C).
   CAUTION
   Operation of the unit at ambient temperatures below the recommended Winterization temperature will void your warranty.

2. Turn unit off, (see page 10)

3. Remove all contents.

4. If necessary, move the unit so you can gain access to the rear of the product.

5. Unplug the unit from the power outlet.

6. It is also recommended that the power to the outlet be turned-off if the circuit is not required for other items during the Winter season.

7. When cleaning the unit pays particular attention to any cracks and crevices that may have accumulated dirt and debris.

8. Remove the front toe-grille, (see Figure 14) , and use a brush and vacuum to clean dirt and debris from beneath the unit.

9. Thoroughly clean the toe grille and re-install the unit. (See Figure 14).

10. Remove the rear access cover, (see Figure 15) , and use a brush and vacuum to clean dirt and debris from the machine compartment.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE AND ENERGY-SAVING TIPS

Background
Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stained 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 film on the surface called chrome-oxide. This protective chrome-oxide film 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).
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.
The frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environment, 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 efficient 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 a mild mixture of ammonia. Rubbing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always ensure thorough rinsing after
cleaning.
Although some products are called “stainless steel cleaners,” some may contain abrasives that could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective chrome- oxide film), and some may 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 finish.
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

Energy saving tips:
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 the appliance 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. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within the 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 them in the 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 periods, set the appliance to the warmest acceptable temperature 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.
