SAFETY INFORMATION AND UNPACKING YOUR APPLIANCE Marvel Refrigeration is committed to building a quality product in an environmentally friendly manner. Important Safety Instructions Warnings and safety instructions appearing in this guide are not meant to cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating this appliance. Recognize Safety Symbols, Words, and Labels.
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 WARNING - Help Prevent Tragedies Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past.
INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE Model Minimum Height Maximum Height MAC**15 31" 32" MLC**15 MOC**15 33 3⁄4" Table A MP**15 34 3⁄4" Do not remove ground prong ! 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. • Do not use an adapter.
INSTALLING THE DRAIN PLUMBING ! CAUTION ! Failure to use an adequate drainage system, will result in surrounding water damage and/or poor ice production. CAUTION Observe and follow all local building codes when installing this ice machine and drain lines. C Water supply inlet L ! 11 WARNING 11⁄4" (3.2 cm) ⁄16" (17mm) Electrical Shock Hazard Reasonable care and safe methods should be practiced. Do NOT work with energized electrical equipment in a wet area.
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. ! Drain line coiled and secured to the back of the cabinet. Uncoil, route to an appropriate drain and cut to length.
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 1⁄4" copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Route the 1⁄4" copper tubing to suit your installation being sure not to kink the tubing.
INSTALLING THE WATER SUPPLY Procedure for Testing Drain System (both gravity and drain pump models) Drain pump models have a safety feature that will interrupt power to the unit if a high-limit condition occurs to prevent flooding. This safety feature can be initiated by a restriction in the drain system and will continue until high-limit condition is corrected, at which time power will be restored to the unit.
OPERATION OF THE ICE MACHINE 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 dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water to provide clear ice.
OPERATION OF ICE MACHINE 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. Ice Production In normal mode the ice machine will produce up to 39 pounds (17.

TROUBLESHOOTING THE ICE MACHINE Before You Call for Service If the appliance appears to be malfunctioning, read through this manual first. If the problem persists, check the troubleshooting guide below. Locate the problem in the guide and refer to the cause and its remedy before calling for service. The problem may be something very simple that can be solved without a service call. However, it may be required to contact your dealer or a qualified service technician.
TROUBLESHOOTING THE ICE MACHINE Ice Quality Odor, grey color, or off taste in the ice Is there mineral scale build up on the evaporator plate? The ice machine needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the Ice Machine”. Is there a high mineral content in the water? The water may need to be filtered. Are food items being stored in the ice bin? Remove food from the ice bin. Unpleasant Odors may require the use of a charcoal filter on the water supply line.
PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE If the ice machine is moved, not used for an extended period of time, or will be in an area that will be near freezing temperatures, it is necessary to remove any remaining water in the ice-making system. ! CAUTION This ice machine must have all water drained and removed to prevent ice machine damage as well as possible water damage to the surrounding area in freezing conditions. These damages are not covered under warranty.
PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE 7. Disconnect the water valve’s outlet water line to the reservoir and drain the remaining water left in the water line trap area. 8. Reconnect the water valve outlet water line. 9. Reinstall the ice machine’s access cover. 10. Clean and dry the ice machine’s storage bin. 11. Prop the door open for air circulation to prevent mold and mildew. 12. Leave the water supply line disconnected or reconnect the supply line and leave it shut off.
PREPARING THE ICE MACHINE FOR STORAGE 14. Remove the top clamp from the vent tube, for easier access for the air hose. 15. Apply air pressure (approximately 10 psi) to the end of the vent tube which will purge the remainder of the water from the drain pump and the drain line. 16. Reinstall the vent tube and clamp to the back of the ice machine and remove the winterization plug from the ice bin and save it for future use. To Restart the Ice Machine 1. Reconnect or turn on the water supply line. 2.
