S TA RT I N G O U T Remove Packaging Your ice machine has been packed for shipment with all parts that could be damaged by movement securely fastened. Before installing the ice machine, be sure all packing materials and tape have been removed. Important Save the carton packaging until your ice machine has been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condition. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed as proof of damage sustained in transit.
I N S TA L L AT I O N Select Location The proper location will ensure peak performance of your ice machine. Choose a location away from heat and out of direct sunlight. Best performance will be maintained when installed within the following parameters: RPE style door Ideal Ambient Temperature Range* built-in 55-80°F freestanding 55-90°F * Ice Machine will not perform correctly in ambient temperatures less than 55°F.
I N S TA L L AT I O N : D R A I N P L U M B I N G Drain Plumbing Your ice machine uses a gravity drain, (figure 1) that requires 5/8" I.D. tubing from the back of the ice machine to a plumbed connection to a sanitary sewer. Remove the access panel to plumb in drain connection. Gravity drain location for built-in units can be within the area shown in figure 3. An optional drain pump, (figure 2) can be purchased for your ice machine if a gravity drain is not accessible.
WAT E R S U P P LY Water Supply This ice machine must be connected to a potable, active cold water supply line delivering water pressure at a minimum of 20 psi and maximum of 120 psi. • Water connection is made through a right angle garden hose fitting. See garden hose fitting for detailed instruction sheet. • A water filter is recommended for this unit. A quality filter can remove particles as well as remove taste and odors from water. Do not use any thread sealers. • Softened water is not recommended.
CARE OF THE UNIT Care of Unit 1. Avoid leaning on the cabinet door. You may bend the door hinge or tip the unit. 2. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the unit. Damage to the grille and/or switch can occur. 3. Periodic cleaning of the inside of the ice machine components and inside of unit (see Cleaning Your Ice Machine section). 4. Periodic checking and/or cleaning of the front grille and condenser coils as needed.
CARING FOR YOUR ICE MACHINE Cleaning Your Ice machine Some impurities will remain and build-up in the ice machine and stick to the ice machine's parts over time. This build-up must be removed for proper ice production, ice quality, and ice machine life. Your ice machine is equipped with a cleaning mode that will help in cleaning out these impurities. 7. After the cleaning cycle has ended, remove the front panel again and check that the build up has been removed.
T H I N G S TO R E M E M B E R Things to Remember • Allow your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in ice machine's bin. • Keep your ice machine clean for proper ice quality, production, and unit life. • Room and water temperatures will greatly affect the output of ice in your unit (see table). Ice will also melt away, especially at the start of an empty bin, but will slow down as ice accumulates.
D O O R A LT E R AT I O N S Optional Door Handle Installation (for units without door handle attached) The door handle for certain doors may be packed inside your ice machine can be mounted on the top or side of your refrigerator door. Locate the handle where it is convenient for you. You will need a 1/4" hex head driver to install the handle. Place the handle on the outside surface of the door. Push gently inward toward the door until the handle snaps in place.

WA R R A N T Y Entire Product Limited One Year Parts and Labor Warranty Marvel warrants that it will supply all necessary parts and labor to repair or replace in the end user's home or office, any component which proves to be defective in material or workmanship, subject to the condition and exclusions stated below, for a period of one year from the date of purchase by the end user.
TROUBLESHOOTING ONE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Unit does not operate. The unit is unplugged. Breaker is tripped or fuse is blown. Plug in the unit. Reset breaker or replace fuse. Check to make sure there is not a short in the electrical circuit. Set the rocker switch on the grille of the ice machine to the "ON" position. Ice machine selector switch is in the "OFF" position. Unit operates but does not produce any ice. The unit has just been started and it has been less than 6 hours.
TROUBLESHOOTING TWO PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Ice cubes are too small (less than 1/2 inch thick). Low ice consumption. Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin and will affect the size of the ice cube. This is normal operation. When the ice bin needs to be replenished, cubes will return to regular size. Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed properly. Check the water line to the unit to make sure there are no restrictions or kinks in the line.
TROUBLESHOOTING THREE PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Ice is not clear. Low water level in reservoir. Make sure that the reservoir drain plug is installed properly. Check the water line to the unit to make sure there are no restrictions or kinks in the line. Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted or plugged. Make certain that water line is not connected to the water softener. Move the unit to an area where room temperature is above 55 deg. F. Softened water supply.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOUR PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTION Ice cubes are sticking together. Ice consumption is low. Use the ice in the bin frequently. Ice will stick together if left in insulated bin over long periods of time. Move the unit to an area where temperature is below 90 deg. F. Room temperature is too warm. Ice level is too high. The ice machine is not level. Room temperature is too warm. Ice deflector is not in place or secured properly. Bin level sensing tube needs adjusted.
