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.

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 55 to 100^ (13 to 38^ ).

Cabinet Clearance

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

WARNING

An optional stacking kit is required to stack products. Failure to use a stacking kit could result in personal injury. Contact your dealer or Marvel customer service at 800-223-3900 to order.

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 appliance may be adjusted higher (by turning the leveling leg out, CCW) and lower (by turning the leveling leg in, CW) dimensions as shown in Table "A".

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 and the grille adjusted to the desired height. When adjustment is complete tighten the two front grille screws. (See Figure 5).

CAUTION

FrontGrille

Do not obstruct the front grill. The openings within the front grill 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 grill openings kept clean. Marvel does not recommend the use of custom made grills as air flow may be restricted because of inadequate openings. (See Figure 2).

Electrical Shock Hazard

• Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. They can be hazardous and cause deficient operation.
• This unit 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.

Grounding Method

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.

Electrical Requirements

Electrical Requirements: A 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required. A 3 prong grounded receptacle is required.

The unit must be installed according to your local building codes and ordinances.

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.

Handle Installation (Solid Door Models)

1. Remove the handle, (2) screws, and 132 "allen wrench from the bag shipped inside the cabinet.

Appliance operation

The available temperature range of the refrigerator is 2^ to 8^ .

It may take up to 24 hours for your appliance to reach desired temperature. This will depend on amount of contents loaded and number of openings and closings of the door.

For best results allow the appliance to "pull down" to desired set temperature before loading. Once contents are loaded, allow at least 48 hours for temperature to stabilize before making any adjustments to the set temperature.

Alarms

Your MicroSentry II™ appliance control will monitor appliance function and alert you with a series of audible and visual alarms. For all alarm and error codes, the alarm LED located in the top left corner of the display panel will illuminate a steady amber. For all alarm and error codes except condenser cleaning, an audible alarm will sound, beeping in one (1) second intervals.

• Door Ajar Alarm: If the door has been left open for over five (5) minutes, the alarm will sound and the display panel will flash

"Do." The alarm will stop once the door has been closed.

• High and Low Temperature Alarm: If your unit reaches an unacceptable temperature, above or below your set temperature for a period of greater than 60 minutes, the temperature alarm will sound in one (1) second

intervals. The display panel will flash either "hi" or "Lo" depending upon the condition. "hi" indicates a high temperature alarm, and "Lo" indicates a low temperature alarm.

Figure 8 Control located on face of door

The factory preset for the "hi" and "Lo" temperature deviation is +2^ from set temperature for the "hi" and -2^ from set temperature for the "Lo". If these temperature variations need to be adjusted, please call Marvel customer service at 800-223-3900 for instructions.

FEATURES

MS15RA, MS24RA and SA24RA features

There are three adjustable shelves for flexibility of content storage. The shelves can move up or down to accommodate various content sizes.

Lock and Key

The optional lock and key allow you to lock and store contents.

Content Temperature versus Air Temperature

Air temperature moves up and down with door openings and compressor run and off cycles. Air has little thermal mass and therefore changes temperature relatively quickly between on/off cycles. Stored contents have much higher thermal mass so their temperatures change much slower. Always measure temperature with a mass weighted sensor to determine if the contents being stored are at the proper temperature.

CAUTION

Make sure your cantilever shelf is secure on the shelf supports by pressing down on the shelf before loading.

Bottle Holder

For your convenience a bracket has been provided to hold your in-house temperature monitoring bottle. On the MS24RA it is located on the right side of the interior liner toward the top.

Figure 12 Bottle holder

Probe Port

The probe port is a hole from the inside to the outside of the unit, which is located on the back of the unit. (See Figure 13). Remove the foil label and foam plug(s) from the hole in the back of the unit, insert your probe or wires through the hole in the back of the unit. Seal hole with foam plug(s). Foam plug(s).

Care and Cleaning

CAUTION

SHOCK HAZARD: Disconnect electrical power from the appliance before cleaning with soap and water.

FrontGrille

Periodically brush and vacuum the front grille area to maintain proper air flow through the condenser coil. See page 4, Figure 2.

Cabinet

The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water. NEVER use abrasive scouring cleaners.

Interior

Wash interior compartment with mild soap and water. DO NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.

Door Gasket

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a baking soda solution or a mild scouring powder.

In the Event of a Power Failure

Minimize the number of door openings to prolong storage temperature until power is restored.

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.

1. Do not install your cold appliance next to a hot appliance, (ovens, glassware washers, etc.). heating air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set-temperature that provides the proper storage for your stored contents.
11. Set the control to the "off" position if cleaning the unit requires the door to be open for an extended period of time.
12. Periodically clean the front grille (toe kick), see page 4.
