Remove Interior Packaging
Your appliance has been packed for shipment with all parts that could be
damaged by movement securely fastened. Remove internal packing materials and
any tape holding in-ternal components in place. The owners manual is shipped
inside the product in a plastic bag along with the warranty registration card,
and other accessory items.
Important
Keep your carton and packaging until your appliance has been thoroughly
inspected and found to be in good condition. If there is damage, the packaging
will be needed as proof of damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose of all
items responsibly.
WARNING – Dispose of the plastic bags which can be a suffocation hazard.
Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected before leaving
our plant. Responsibility for its safe delivery was assumed by the retailer
upon acceptance of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in
transit must be made to the retailer.
NOTE
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE MANUFACTURER – FILE THE CLAIM WITH
THE RETAILER.
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 – 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 fol-low
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.`
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 ungrounded electrical supply.
- Do not remove the grounding prong from the power cord.
- Do not use an adapter.
- 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 ac-
cordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and
ordinances (see figure below). 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 nui-sance tripping
which will cause the appliance to shut down. GFCI’s are generally not used on
circuits with power equip-ment that must run unattended for long periods of
time, un-less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.
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 – 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).
CAUTION
The warranty is voided if product is used in an ambient temperature of 40°F
(5°C) or below.
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.
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.
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 the table on the next page.
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.

To turn the unit off, press .
NOTE
Temperature displayed reflects actual temperature inside unit. If the
temperature displayed is different than selected, the unit is progressing
towards the selected temperature. Time to reach set point varies based
upon ambient temperature, temperature of product loaded, door openings, etc.
Marvel recommends allowing the unit to reach set points before loading.
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 ” copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any
local hardware or plumbing supply store. Route the ¹ ” 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. 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.
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.
NOTE
Reverse osmosis, (RO), water, softened water, and deionized water are not
recommended as they can adversely affect the quality and quantity of the ice.
INSTALLING THE DRAIN PLUMBING
Optional Drain Pump.
An optional drain pump is available if you have purchased an ice machine
without one and do not have access to a gravity drain. Installation
instructions are provided with the optional drain pump. Contact Marvel
customer service at 616-754-5601 or
your dealer for ordering.
CAUTION
This drain pump is designed to be installed in Marvel ice machines only and
approved for use with water only.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Risk of electrical shock or personal injury could occur due to moving
components, if the machine compartment access cover is removed before
unplugging the ice machine power cord.
ICE MAKER OPERATION
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 which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice slab.
Pure water freezes first, leaving the clear ice.When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice sheet is
released and slides onto the grid cutter. Here, the ice slab is cut into
squares by the grid cutter’s heated wires. The water containing the dissolved
minerals is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine
for the next ice making cycle.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CARE AND CLEANING
Refer to your cleaning solution instructions to determine the proper amount of cleaning solution to add based on 2 quarts (1.9 liters) of water. Lift fascia door up to access evaporator plate. Pour the cleaning solution slowly on the evaporator plate so it flows down into the fresh water reservoir.
Replace the splash shield if removed. After the cleaning cycle is completed, verify that all build-up has been removed. If not repeat the clean cycle procedure.
CARE AND CLEANING
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
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
- Avoid leaning on the door, you may bend the door hinges or tip the appliance.
- Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming or mopping near the front of the appliance. Damage to the grille can occur.
- Periodically clean the interior of the appliance as needed.
- 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 sources
- Install product out of direct sunlight.
- 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.
- Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
- Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
- time.
- Use the delay start function if the ice machine will not be used for long periods of time.
