PRODUCT

  • To install (F) models with the door face flush with adjacent cabinetry doors, custom decorative panel thickness cannot exceed 3⁄4″ (19 mm).
    ** Minimum rough-in opening required is to be larger than the adjusted height of the cabinet.

    A grounded 15 amp dedicated circuit is required. Follow all local building

    codes when installing electrical and appliance.

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 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 counter top 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.

WARNING
An optional stacking kit, for 24″ wide models, is required to stack products. Failure to use a stacking kit could result in personal injury. Contact your dealer or Marvel customer service at 616-754-5601 to order.
For safety concerns 15″ wide models should not be stacked.
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 and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason it is important this area to not be obstructed and the grille openings kept clean. Marvel does not  ecommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow may be restricted. (See Figure 8).Marvel MPRF424 24 in
Professional Built in Refrigerator Freezer - Leveling

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 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 9).

SIDE-BY-SIDE AND STACKING INSTALLATIONS

Side-by-Side Installation
Other Site Requirements
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s electrical specifications requirements. Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the total of the widths listed under Cutout Dimensions in each unit’s Installation Guide. Each door can be opened individually (one at a time) without interference.Marvel MPRF424 24 in
Professional Built in Refrigerator Freezer - Figure 10

However, to ensure unobstructed door swing (opening both doors at the same time), 1/4″ (6.4 mm) of space needs to be maintained between the units.Marvel MPRF424 24 in Professional Built in Refrigerator Freezer -

INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE

WARNING

| • ALL APPLIANCES CAN TIP RESULTING IN INJURY.
• INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET PACKED WITH THE APPLIANCE.
• FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
---|---

Anti-Tip Device

WARNING
If your beverage center is not located under a counter top (free standing), you must use an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the beverage center is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged with the anti-tip bracket when you push the beverage center back into the original location. If the device is not properly engaged, there is a risk of the beverage center tipping over, with the potential for property damage or personal injury.

NOTE
If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required, (not included with the anti-tip kit).
CAUTION
Any finished flooring 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 floor in the left or right rear corner of the wine cellar as shown in Figure 14.Marvel MPRF424 24 in
Professional Built in Refrigerator Freezer - Figure 14

Step by step instructions for locating the position of the bracket:

  1. Decide where you want to place the beverage center.
    Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor, 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.

  3. Make sure the beverage center is in the desired location, then mark on the floor 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 floor marking the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the beverage center out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 21 1⁄2″ (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 15.

  4. Align the anti-tip bracket to the marks on the floor 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 21 1⁄2″ (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).

  5. Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied screw. (See Figure 15).

  6. Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engaging the slot.

NOTE
When the floor mounted anti-tip bracket is used the minimum adjusted height of the cabinet is increased by 3⁄8″ (9 mm).

INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY

Water Supply

CAUTION
Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this appliance.
Use 1/4″ outside diameter copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store.
Bend the 1/4″ copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kinkthe tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing length and coil it behind the unit to form a “service loop” which will allow the appliance to be pulled out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. 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.Marvel MPRF424 24 in Professional Built in Refrigerator
Freezer - Water Supply

Connect the copper tubing water supply to the water valve inlet with the compression nut fitting provided. Secure the water supply line to the back of the cabinet with the screw and clamp provided in the corner of the back panel. (See Figure 7).
Water pressure must be at a minimum of 20 psi for proper operation and a maximum of 120 psi.
Make certain all water connections are watertight after installation. Form the tubing so that it will not vibrate against the cabinet body or kink when your appliance is set in position.

NOTE

  • Do not use any thread sealers on these water line fittings.
  • Reverse osmosis, softened water, and deionized water are not  recommended as they will adversely affect the quality of the ice.

ICE-MAKER OPERATION

CAUTION
The water supply to the ice-maker must be turned on prior to turning the ice- maker on. Failure to do so will cause rapid dry cycling of the ice-maker mold heater resulting in temperature control issues in the freezer compartment.![Marvel MPRF424 24 in Professional Built in Refrigerator Freezer

  • OPERATION](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Marvel-MPRF424-24 -in-Professional-Built-in-Refrigerator-Freezer-OPERATION.jpg) Ice-maker operation

    • The unit must be installed level for proper ice-maker operation.
    • The shutoff arm wire must be down in its lowest position for the ice-maker to operate. (See Figure 8).
    • When the freezer section and ice-maker unit has sufficiently cooled, the ice-maker will harvest ice cubes automatically.
    • When the ice bucket is full, the ice-maker will automatically shut off.
    • You may manually stop the ice-maker by raising the shut off arm to the locking position at the up most position. (See Figure 8).

NOTE
It is recommended the ice-maker is shut off when removing the bucket, or ice may be dispensed onto the freezer compartment floor.
If the ice is not used regularly, it will clump together with time. For best ice results, discard ice in the bin as required and allow the ice-maker to make a new fresh batch of ice. Shut-off the ice-maker by raising the shut-off arm before removing the bucket.

Long and short term storage of ice-maker:
When operation of the appliance is to be discontinued for any length of time, the ice  cube mold in the ice-maker should be emptied by allowing the ice- maker to dispense cubes with the water supply turned off.

  1. Turn the water supply off.
  2. Raise the ice-maker bail arm.
  3. Empty the ice bucket.
  4. Replace the ice bucket in the unit and lower the bail arm.

Dispensing of the cubes should occur within 2 hours. After the ice-cubes dispense – empty, clean, and replace the ice cube bucket, and raise the bail arm.

INTERIOR ADJUSTMENTS

CAUTION
Make sure your cantilever shelf is secure on the shelf supports by pressing down on the shelf before loading.

CAUTION
Never try to move a loaded shelf, remove everything from the shelf before moving.
Use both hands  when moving the shelf.Marvel MPRF424 24 in Professional

  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  ppliance’s temperature.
Light assembly replacement
All models use an LED to illuminate the interior of the appliance.
This component is very reliable, but should it fail, contact a qualified service technician for replacement of the LED.

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 appliance beneath 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 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 in 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 pe riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tem perature 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.
  13. For wine storage products:

When serving temperatures are not required, return the compartment(s) set temperature to the ideal red and white wine long term storage tem perature of 13°C / 55°F.

STAINLESS STEEL MAINTENANCE

Background Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel, but it is not stain or corrosion proof. Stain-less steels can discolor or corrode if not maintained prop-erly.
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 contami-nants. 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 thor-oughly clean crevices, weld points, under gaskets, rivets, bolt heads, and any locations where small amounts of liquid could collect, become stagnant, and concentrate contami-nates. Additionally, any mounting hardware that is showing signs of corrosion should be replaced.
Frequency of cleaning will depend upon the installation location, environmental, 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 sur-faces a brisk rubbing with a soft cloth soaked in warm water and a gentle detergent, or mild mixture of ammonia. Rub-bing should, to the extent possible, follow the polish lines of the steel, and always insure thorough rinsing after cleaning.
Although some products are called “stainless steel clean-ers,” some may contain abrasives which could scratch the surface, (compromising the protective chrome-oxide film), and some many 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 manufacturer.

Troubleshooting – Extended
CAUTION
Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the main electrical power has been disconnected from the unit.
SPECIFIC ERRORS AND ISSUES
The advanced diagnostic capabilities of the electronic controls allows for easy and thorough troubleshooting.
Navigation of the control is the key and is explained in the CONTROL OPERATION section of the manual, along with control button layout, control function descriptions,
a service mode menu and service menu selection explanations.
Verification of temperature and thermistor performance can be identified by directly viewing thermistor readings in the service mode.
Included in this section are some diagnostic tips and of course, if additional help is required, please contact the Marvel, “Customer Care Facility” at +1.616.754.5601 for assistance.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. Despite this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood, vinyl or tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Listed below are common refrigeration components with a brief description of the normal sounds they make.

NOTE:
Your product may not contain all the components listed.

  • Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.
  • Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.
  • Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
  • Automatic Defrost Drain Pan: Water may be heard dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in the defrost cycle.

Solenoid Valves: An occasional clicking sound may be heard as solenoid valves are operated.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Concern Potential Causes Action
Not Cooling Compressor overheating Verify proper air flow through condenser.

Is condenser clean?
Confirm condenser fan operation.
Compressor not operating| Test overload and relay, replace as needed.
Compressor operating – no cooling| Refer to System Diagnosis Guide.
Frozen Product| Control set too cold| Adjust Set Point Temp accordingly.
Thermistor failure| Check Error Log in Service Mode, OHM thermistor.
Frost Buildup Inside Unit| Door Ajar or Restricted from Closing| Check door clearance to adjoining cabinetry. Check distribution of product in unit.
Thermistor failure| OHM thermistor
Display Not Working| Display unplugged| Verify that both ends of the display wiring are firmly connected.
Display wiring broken or damaged| Perform continuity test of wiring and replace as needed.
Interior Lights Not Working| Door switch misaligned or defective| Check the function of reed switch and door magnet adjustment.
Noisy| Refrigeration tubing touching cabinet| Carefully reposition tubing.
Fan blade obstruction (wiring, foam insulation, packaging material)| Remove obstruction.

MAIN CONTROL
The main control board is very robust and is rarely the cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose the board for any suspected failures before attempting to remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the guidelines below to fully test and diagnose the main control.
Power Fault
If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before begin­ ning it is important to first verify the unit is not simply set to sabbath mode.Marvel MPRF424 24 in Professional
Built in Refrigerator Freezer - Power Fault

CAUTION
Precautions must be taken while working with live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures while performing tests on live systems.
REED SWITCH
A reed switch is used to monitor door state. When the door is closed it comes into contact with the reed which closes a circuit which turns the light and display off. When the door is open the reed moves outward and opens the circuit. If the door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the switch will trigger an error code and set an audible warning.

SHOWROOM MODE
This mode is designed to show units in a display environment. When in this mode the only functions will be the control and cabinet lights. The compressor, fans, etc.
will not operate. To enter/exit this mode hold the light key and the power key for 5 seconds. The display will f1ash once and beep and the degree symbol will begin to f1ash.
When the degree symbol is f1ashing the unit will allow the use of the control for demonstrations. The unit can be left in this mode indefinitely.

SERVICE MODE

This mode has options available for service diagnostics.
To enter the mode hold the hidden key for 10 seconds.
The display will show “O.” When in this mode use the up and down arrows to select the desired option. The LIGHT key is the ENTER key and will initiate the function. If
changing a setting, you must press the LIGHT key again to retain the changed setting. To exit the service mode scroll to option “O” and press the LIGHT key. After Ave minutes of not touching any keys the mode will also exit automatically.

Thermistors
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.
Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the resistance should read 16.lk Ohms +/-5% on your meter.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass  hrough a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.
Thermistor error information can be found in the Control
Operations – Service section.
This unit has two thermistors.
Thermistor one (Zone):
Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to maintain the operating temperature within that zone.
Thermistor two (Evaporator):
Located on the evaporator. It is used for defrost.

THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistor
If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will continue to cool in a backup mode (Self Preservation Mode) to preserve the integrity of the contents. The unit will otherwise operate normally.

Evaporator Thermistor
If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will otherwise operate normally. Refer to defrost section. Thermistor Resistance Data
