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 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 50 to 100°F (10 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.

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 recommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow 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 surface check the appliance for levelness and adjust accordingly.

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, 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. GFCI’s 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.

Cutout and Product Dimensions

PREPARE SITE

CAUTION

Your product has been designed for either free-standing or built-in installation. When built-in, your unit does not require additional air space for top, sides, or rear. However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed, and clearance is required for an electrical connection in the rear.

CAUTION

Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet door.

Airflow and Product Loading

AIRFLOW

External

• Do not block the front grille – no additional clearance around sides, top or rear of unit is needed for ventilation
• Do not install behind a closed door

Internal

• When loading, leave space between internal fans, vents, and side walls to allow air to circulate freely

PRODUCT LOADING

Bottles and cans come in all shapes and sizes. When determining capacities, refer to the following sizes. Combinations of red and white bottles are used in Wine Refrigerators and Beverage Centers.

NOTE

Restricting airflow may result in poor product performance, product failure, and uneven internal temperatures and may freeze contents.

Interior Adjustments

INTERIOR SHELVES (MLBV024)

Removing and Installing Interior Shelves

For models equipped with glass shelves having recessed shelf supports, remove the shelves as follows:

1. Pull shelf out about 6” (1), until back of shelf clears the “hump” on the right-hand side.
2. Tilt up right-hand edge of shelf (2).
3. Remove shelf from unit by pulling out (3).

Insert the shelves as follows:

1. To move to a different position in the unit, insert shelf at an angle, approximately 15-20°, over the rib in the side of the unit where you want to place the shelf. Place the shelf into the unit at an angle to clear the door.
2. Continue to slide the shelf into the unit at an angle until it clears the door. Lower the shelf and push it in completely. Ensure the raised edge strip is toward the rear of the unit.

NOTE

Make sure the shelves are inserted fully into the unit. The edge strip toward the rear prevents cans and bottles from freezing against the cold evaporator.
