CAUTION

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 days".

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.

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 assure your product performs to specifications the recommended installation location temperature range is from 55 to 80^ (13 to 27^ ) for built in ice machines, 55 to 90^ (13 to 32^ ) for freestanding ice machines. Ice machine will not perform correctly in ambient temperatures less than 55^ ( 13^ ).

Marvel 30iMAT - Select Location - 1

CAUTION

Outdoor Installation

Only the 30iMT model is suitable for outdoor installations.

Building codes may require a ground fault circuit interrupter electrical receptacle to supply electrical power to the ice machine for outdoor applications, (see "Electrical Connection" section).

Do not install in a location where the ice machine will be exposed to direct sun exposure as this may result in unsatisfactory performance.

Winterizing Your Outdoor Ice Machine

For instructions on winterizing your ice machine see page 23, "Preparing the Ice Machine for Storage".

Cabinet Clearance

Ventilation is required from the bottom front section of the ice machine. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the ice machine as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.

Marvel 30iMAT - Cabinet Clearance - 1

CAUTION

FrontGrille

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. AGA MARVEL does not recommend the use of a custom made grille as air flow may be restricted because of inadequate openings. (See Figure 2).

Marvel 30iMAT - FrontGrille - 1
Figure 2

Leveling Legs

Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the ice machine should be set so the ice machine is firmly positioned on the floor and level from side to side and front to back. The overall height of your Marvel ice machine may be adjusted from 33^3 / 4'' (85.7cm) with the leveling legs turned in, and up to 34^3 / 4'' (88.3cm) with the leveling legs extended.

To adjust the leveling legs, place the ice machine on a solid surface and protect the floor beneath the legs to avoid scratching the floor. With the assistance of another person, lean the ice machine 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 ice machine forward using caution to prevent the door from opening. On a level surface check the ice machine for levelness and adjust accordingly.

The front grille screws may be loosened and the front grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 3).

WARNING

  • Do not splash or spray water from a hose on the ice machine. Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death.
  • This ice machine should not, under any circumstances, be installed to an un-grounded electrical supply.

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 4). 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.

Marvel 30iMAT - Electrical Connection - 1

CAUTION

Electrical Extension cords should not be used. They can be hazard

ous and cause deficient operation. The wall receptacle should be located near the ice machine and be a polarized type with adequate ground protection. The ice machine must be installed to your local building codes and ordinances.

Marvel 30iMAT - CAUTION - 1
Figure 4

NOTE

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the ice machine to shut down. GFCI's are generally not used on circuits, with powered equipment, that must run unattended for long periods of time, unless required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

Marvel 30iMAT - NOTE - 1

WARNING

Risk of electrical shock or personal injury could occur due to moving components, if machine compartment access cover is removed before unplugging the ice machine.

Drain Plumbing

Your ice machine requires drain plumbing. There are 2 variations of ice machines in regards to the installation of the drain plumbing, without a drain pump (gravity drain), and with a drain pump.

Gravity Drain, no drain pump.

Your ice machine requires a gravity drain (Figure 5) that requires 5% inch inside diameter (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. The gravity drain location for built-in ice machines can be within the shaded area shown in Figure 7.

With a factory installed drain pump.

Your ice machine has a factory installed drain pump. The discharge tubing is coiled up and attached to the back of the ice machine. The 3/8 inch I.D. tubing needs to be plumbed and connected to a sanitary sewer. Refer to Figure 6. The maximum lift of the drain pump is 8 feet (2.44 meters) through the 3/8 inch I.D. tubing.

Conversion of factory installed system to a gravity drain system

Service kit 42248304 will be required if the ice machine is converted to a gravity drain. Removal of the drain pump without service kit 42248304 will prevent the ice machine from continued ice production.

Optional Drain Pump.

An optional drain pump (Figure 6) 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 for ordering. Observe and follow all local codes when installing ice machine.

Marvel 30iMAT - Optional Drain Pump. - 1

CAUTION

Failure to use an adequate drainage system, will result in surround

ing water damage and/or poor ice production.

Marvel 30iMAT - CAUTION - 1

Marvel 30iMAT - CAUTION - 2

Marvel 30iMAT - CAUTION - 3
Figure 7

The Marvel Drain Pump is designed to remove drain water from ice machines installed in areas without direct drainage access. The sealed reservoir pump collects the melted ice water and pumps it to a maximum lift of eight (8) feet (2.44 meters) through 3/8 I.D. vinyl tubing to a drain.

Marvel 30iMAT - CAUTION - 4

CAUTION

This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.

NOTE: Reasonable care and safe methods should be practiced. Do NOT work with energized electrical equipment in a wet area. Read and follow the installation instructions listed in this manual.

Marvel 30iMAT - CAUTION - 1

WARNING

Risk of electric shock - This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

Maintenance

The following items require review on a regular basis.

  1. Check that the vent line is open, free of kinks/sharp bends, so that air flows freely from the pump reservoir.

  2. Check that the discharge tubing is free of foreign material (algae, etc.) and kinks/bends. Confirm that the check valve is operational by observing that the water flow is evident in one (1) direction only - out of the pump. Remove and clean as required.

Troubleshooting the Drain Pump

NOTE

If the drain pump reservoir (not the ice machine bin) reaches overfill condition, the power to the ice machine will be shut off.

If the ice machine is not working, check the following:

  • Make sure there is power at the receptacle.
    Make sure the ice machine is turned on.
  • Make sure the ice bin is not full.

Then check the drain pump:

The pump does not run:

  • Make sure the pump is plugged in and there is power to the receptacle.
  • Check the inlet to the drain pump for debris and clean as needed. Remove clamps and inlet tube from drain pump to check for and remove debris.
  • Make certain the vent line is free of kinks/ sharp bends or restrictions.
  • Make certain there is enough water to activate the drain pump. It will take at least one (1) quart (.95 liters) of water to activate the drain pump.

The pump runs, but no water is pumped out:

  • Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.
  • Check the discharge line to make certain there are no restrictions.
  • Make sure that the discharge tubing has not exceeded the maximum lift of eight (8) feet (2.44 meters) and the horizontal run is not greater than twenty (20) feet (6.1 meters).

The pump runs and then quickly turns off repeatedly:

  • Check to make certain the drain pump is level.
  • Check that the vent is clear and free of restrictions.

The ice machine is running but not producing ice:

Water Supply

The ice machine must be connected to a potable, active cold water supply line delivering water pressure at a minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.

Water connection is made through a right angle garden hose fitting supplied with the ice machine. See Figure 9 for detailed instructions. DO NOT USE ANY THREAD SEALERS.
- A water filter can be used with this ice machine. A quality filter can help remove particles as well as remove taste and odors from water.
- DO NOT USE A "REVERSE OSMOSIS" FILTERING DEVICE.
- Softened water is not recommended. This will produce soft, cloudy ice cubes that will stick together.
- De-ionized water is not recommended. This water will not form solid ice cubes.
- A water specialist can recommend proper water treatment.
- When installing a water line for this ice machine a shutoff valve is recommended. NOTE: DO NOT USE A SELF-PIERCING TYPE VALVE.
- After installation of water line, turn on water and check for any leaks. Additional tightening may be needed.
- Allow for extra water line for built-in installations for easy removal of ice machine and to help prevent the water line from kinking.

The 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.

Step 1: Verify door alignment

Verify that the door is aligned correctly with the cabinet prior to fabricating the custom panel. Failure to do so may result in mis-alignment of the custom panel with the hinge bracket. The door should be parallel to the sides and top of the ice machine. If alignment is necessary the door may be adjusted by loosening the 2 screws which secure the top and/or bottom hinge adapter brackets, located on the top and bottom of the door and adjusting the door side to side. Use a 5/32'' allen wrench, for this procedure. (See Figure 10 below). When finished aligning the door, tighten the screws securely.

Marvel 30iMAT - Step 1: Verify door alignment - 1

Step 2: Remove door

Remove the top hinge pin from the hinge with an 1/8'' allen wrench. Remove the door by angling the top of the door outward and lifting the door off the bottom hinge. (See detail in Figure 10).

Step 3: Remove gasket

Lay the door on its front being careful not to scratch it. To gain access to the screw mounting holes remove the door gasket by peeling up and out of the channel.

Step 4: Cut overlay panel

Depending on the ice machine model cut the overlay panel to the dimensions shown in Figure 11 and Table A.

NOTE

For overlay with lock option panel thickness to be 3 / 4'' (19mm) maxi

mum to 5 / 8'' (16mm) minimum.

Marvel 30iMAT - NOTE - 1

CAUTION

Weight of the overlay panel should not exceed 20 pounds (9.1 kilograms).

NOTE

For the door to work properly it is necessary to maintain a

minimum space of 9 / 32'' (7mm) between the door and cabinet flange as shown. This space can be adjusted by adjusting the top and bottom hinge adapters.

Marvel 30iMAT - NOTE - 1

Step 5: Drill hinge clearance holes in overlay panel Set the overlay panel on the door front, align the edges, and clamp together. Clamp the panel firmly but be careful not to damage the door or the panel. Mark center of hinge adapter hole on wood panel, top and bottom. (See Figure 12.) Remove wood panel from door and drill 5 / 16'' (8mm) diameter clearance holes into the overlay panels 3 / 4'' (20mm) deep. These will be clearance holes for the top and bottom hinge pins.

This is also a convenient time to locate and drill the holes for your handle. Most often the handle is to match that of the surrounding cabinetry. If your handle attaches from the back-side of the custom panel, locate the mounting holes while the panel

is attached to the door and cabinet. After the panel is removed from the door, drill the mounting holes from the front, to the recommended diameter of the handle manufacturer. Counter bore the back-side of the panel so the screw heads do not interfere with the surface of the door.

Step 6: Drill panel mounting holes

Re-clamp the panel to the door per step 5 and drill the screw pilot holes for attaching the overlay panel to the door. Select the size of the hole from Table B. Be careful not to drill the pilot holes through the overlay panel, (1/2'' (12.7mm) deep for 3/4'' (19mm) and 5/8'' (15.7mm) panels).

Step 7: Secure overlay panel to the door.

With the #10 wood screws provided, fasten the overlay panel to the door. (See Figure 13).

Press the door gasket into the door channel. Make certain the gasket corners are fully inserted. If applicable insert the key into the lock and make certain the lock operates properly.

Step 9: Install the door

Install the top and bottom hinge adapter bushings back into the hinge adapters that were removed in step 6. Install the door by reversing the procedure from step 2. Install the top hinge pin so the screw head is flush with the top surface of the hinge. If applicable insert key into lock and verify the lock cam works properly with the catch bracket on the front of the ice machine cabinet.

Operation (Turning on the ice machine)

Once the drain and water supply are connected, and the ice machine is in place and leveled, plug in the service cord. Place the switch to the "ON" position to turn on the ice machine. The switch is located in the front grille, see Figure 16 for location.

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 mineral content than the water it is produced from. This is accomplished by running water over the cold evaporator plate (see Figure 15) which gradually freezes the water to produce the ice slab. Mineral deposits are left in the reservoir.

Marvel 30iMAT - The Ice Making Process - 1
Figure 15

When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see Figure 17). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid cutter's heated wires (see Figure 18). The water containing the rejected minerals is drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the machine for the next ice making cycle.

Marvel 30iMAT - The Ice Making Process - 2
Figure 17

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. Allow your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice in the ice machine's bin.

Marvel 30iMAT - The Ice Making Process - 3
Figure 18

Marvel 30iMAT - The Ice Making Process - 4
Figure 16

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 selector switch to the "OFF" position.

Ice Production

Your unit will produce 30 lbs of ice in a 24-hour period when installed in a 70^ ambient with a 55^ water supply.

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 30 lbs of ice at the above temperature conditions, but when starting with an empty ice storage bin, the storage bin may only accumulate 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 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. Ice falling onto hard surfaces and water cascading across the evaporator will make sounds seem louder than they actually are. 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.

You may hear a rattling noise which could be water flowing through the water line.

A splashing sound may be heard when water is flowing over the evaporator plate and into the water reservoir.

When the ice slab is released from the evaporator plate you may hear a "thud" as it slides onto the grid cutter.

At the end of an ice making cycle you may hear a gurgling sound which is refrigerant flowing in the ice machine.

When the condenser fan turns on you might hear the air circulating over the condenser.

Care of the Ice Machine

  1. Avoid leaning on the cabinet door. You may bend the door hinge or tip the ice machine.
  2. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming or mopping near the front of the ice machine. Damage to the grille and/or switch can occur.
  3. Periodically clean the inside of the ice machine components and inside of the ice machine.
  4. If your ice machine has either a stainless steel door and/or cabinet, to keep it looking its best, we recommend periodically applying a stainless steel cleaner and a non-abrasive stainless steel polish. This is especially important for outdoor applications and locations near salt-water environments.

Cleaning the Ice Machine

This build-up will need to be removed 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.

The impurities will need to be cleaned of this build-up regularly (at the very least, annually), depending on use and water hardness. Use a nickel safe ice machine cleaner, including but not limited to the following brands. Ice machine cleaners are available at most appliance retailers or through the cleaner manufacturers web site.

Kirby's Certified ice machine cleaner, 100% nickel safe

Nu-Calgon nickel safe ice machine cleaner

Franklin Machine Products nickel safe ice machine cleaner

To clean the ice machine:

  1. Switch the selector switch to the "OFF" position.
  2. Remove all the ice from the bin.
  3. Remove the front panel by removing the 2 screws. (See Figure 19).

Figure 22

  1. Determine the proper amount of cleaner from the ice machine cleaner manufacturer's mixture ratio based on 34 gallon (2.81 liters) of water (refer to the manufacturer's mix ratio directions). Add the recommended amount of concentrated cleaning solution to the reservoir of the ice machine. This can be done by pouring the solution on the evaporator, which will flow down into the reservoir. (See figure 23).

Marvel 30iMAT - To clean the ice machine: - 5
Figure 23

  1. Switch the selector switch on the grille of the ice machine to the "CLEAN" position. The ice machine will automatically start and stop the cleaning cycle and 34 of a gallon (2.81 liters) of water will automatically be added to the cleaning solution.
  2. The total cleaning time will end in 49 minutes. The cleaning cycle will automatically rinse the evaporator plate and also drain the cleaning solution and rinse the reservoir with water.
  3. After the cleaning cycle has ended check that the build-up has been removed. The evaporator plate should be clean, shiny, and smooth to the touch. If build-up is still visible, repeat the cleaning cycle above.
  4. Clean the ice machine's interior, ice scoop, interior door panel and door gasket with mild soap and water. Using two (2) tablespoons of baking soda in one (1) quart of warm water while cleaning will help remove odors. Rinse with fresh water. DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE CLEANING PRODUCTS.
  5. Replace the front panel.
  6. Your ice machine is now clean and sanitized and may be put back into operation by switching the selector switch to the "ON" position.

NOTE

Discard the first batch of ice. In the unlikely event a power

interrupt occurs during the clean cycle, you need to start over from the beginning to assure complete cleaning and rinsing of the cleaning agent from the machine.

Before calling a service provider try the trouble shooting suggestions below.

Ice Machine Operation

Ice machine does not operate

Is the ice machine's power cord plugged in? Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Is the selector switch in the front grille set to the "ON" position? Check the switch to be sure it is in the "ON" position.

Is a fuse blown or a circuit breaker been tripped? Replace a blown fuse or reset a tripped circuit breaker.

Is the temperature of the room cooler than it normally is? The minimum room temperature is 55^ (13^) . The bin thermistor may be sensing the room temperature and shut off before the bin is full of ice. If the room temperature remains low the ice machine may not restart.

Is there a drain pump in the ice machine? If a large amount of water was added to the ice machine then you should wait a few minutes for the drain pump to dispose of it. If there is still water in the ice bin check the drain pump vent line and drain line for obstructions or kinking.

The ice machine is noisy

Many sounds of an ice machine are different than your household refrigerator. This subject is discussed on page 17, but check the following:

Do you hear water being circulated in the ice machine? This is a normal sound as water is added once every ice making cycle.

Is there a "whoosing" sound? Make sure water is getting to the ice machine. Also check to make sure the drain plug is fully seated in the water reservoir.

Is there an ice slab caught between the evaporator plate and the grid cutter? First check to see if the ice machine is level. If the ice machine is level run a cleaning cycle.

Ice Production

Little or no ice production from the ice machine

Is the selector switch set to the "ON" position? Check the switch to be sure it is in the "ON" position.

Is water getting to the ice machine? Make sure nothing is disrupting the water supply such as a closed water valve or a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.

Has the ice machine just been started? A typical ice production cycle can take up to 112 hours. Initial start up cycles can take longer. Check the ice machine after 24 hours for ice accumulation in the bin.

Is the reservoir drain plug in place? Check that the reservoir drain plug is properly seated.

Is the water distributor tube restricted? Run a cleaning cycle to clean the ice machine. Also check any filters to make sure they are not restricted.

Is the condenser fan air flow restricted? Make sure the grille in the front of the ice machine is open for proper air circulation.

Is the room and/or water temperature to warm? Move the ice machine to an area where the ambient temperature is below 90^ (32^) . The ice machine should not be placed next to a heat source such as an oven. Check the cold water connection.

Is there scale build up in the ice machine? If there is scale build up on the evaporator, the ice machine needs to be cleaned. See "Cleaning 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.

Clumps of ice

Are there clumps of ice in the bin? If the ice isn't used on a regular basis it will melt and form into clumps. Break up the ice clumps with the ice scoop.

Ice cubes are too big, too small, or hollow

Is there low ice consumption? Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin which will affect the size of the cubes. This is normal operation. When the ice bin needs to be replenished, cubes will return to the regular size.

Is the ice slab releasing? Clean the evaporator. See "Cleaning the Ice Machine".

Is the distributor tube restricted? Check the water line to the ice machine to make sure there are no restrictions or kinks in the line. Check all filters to make sure they are not restricted. Check that the water flows evenly out of the distributor tube, if not, clean the ice machine. See "Cleaning the Ice Machine".

Plumbing Problems

Is the drain hose aligned over the drain? Move the ice machine to align the drain.

Is the ice machine draining properly? Check that there are no kinks or restrictions in the drain lines; this can cause water to back up in the ice bin. Check that foreign material is not blocking the ice bin drain located at the right rear corner of the ice bin. Check the drain pump discharge and vent line or any restrictions or kinks. Check that the drain pump is level.

NOTE

If there are plumbing issues outside of the ice machine, they cannot be repaired by the service technician. A qualified plumber will have to be called.

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 icemaking system.

Marvel 30iMAT - NOTE - 1

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.

Marvel 30iMAT - CAUTION - 1

CAUTION

Do not use any type of anti-freeze or other solution as a substitution for properly draining the ice machine.

Clean the Ice Machine
