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).

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.

Marvel MA15CLS2RS - Cabinet Clearance - 1

CAUTION

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

Front Grille, keep this area open. Front Leveling Legs Rear Leveling Legs

Figure 2

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

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

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.

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):

The ice machine is shipped with the drain line installed, coiled and secured to the back of the cabinet as shown in Figure 7. It can be uncoiled, routed to an appropriate drain and cut to length as required. Additionally there is the provision of drain routing through the cut-out in the bottom of the unit, (see the gray area in Figure 8). A drain can be installed in this gray area with the drain line cut to a short length and positioned into the drain as shown in Figure 9, or if the ice machine is to be built-in, the drain tube could be routed through a hole in the floor in this gray area to a drain below.

Marvel MA15CLS2RS - Gravity Drain (no drain pump): - 1

CAUTION

The gravity drain line must be routed no higher than 6" (15.2 cm) off the floor to assure proper drainage.

Water Supply

Marvel MA15CLS2RS - Water Supply - 1

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 14 " copper tubing for your water supply which is available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store. Route the 14 " 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. (See Figure 11). 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. (See Figure 11).

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.

Marvel MA15CLS2RS - CAUTION - 1

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.

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. Power interruption can be detected when no icons are visible in the display area of the user interface (Figure 12). Once power is returned, a startup chime will sound followed by a self-test, and "OFF" should be visible in the display area.

Black background toolbar with white function icons: power, menu, lightbulb, timer, and lock

Figure 12: User interface display during power interruption.

Once the drain line is plumbed, perform the following:

  1. Plug the ice machine into 115v power supply.
  2. Place unit in the final installation location.
  3. Turn the unit off via the user interface (display will indicate "OFF"). The drain pump will still be operational during off mode if the unit has one.
  4. Slowly pour 3-qts of water into the ice storage bin. All water should drain completely.
  5. If water drains fully and without power interruption, the drain system has been successfully tested and further installation of the ice machine can be continued.
  6. If the water does not drain or a power interrupt occurs, check the following:

a. There are no kinks or restrictions in the drain line. (Note: Drain line needs to be cut to the required length and any excess tubing should be removed to prevent possible restrictions).
b. Your drain line is plumbed into an open drain (Figure 13).
c. The vent tube on the back of the unit is open (Figure 14).

Air gap between end of drain line and top of water level Sanitary trap

Figure 13: Example of an open drain.

Figure 14: Location of vent tube.

  1. After checking the above requirements, repeat step 4 and verify the water drains completely without power interruption. If problems persist call a qualified service technician and/or plumber.

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 (see Figure 16) 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.

When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter (see Figure 16). Here, the ice slab is cut into squares by the grid cutter's heated wires (see Figure 19). 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.

Marvel MA15CLS2RS - The Ice Making Process - 5

natural_image Technical line drawing of a mechanical housing with multiple slots and scattered 3D blocks (no text or symbols)

Figure 19

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.

Starting your clear ice machine:

ICE

Plug the ice machine into a 115 volt wall outlet, (see page 5 for electrical information). Your appliance is shipped from the factory in the "ICE" mode and will begin start-up of ice production after the start-up routine.

Upon applying power to the unit, or after a power interruption, the Ice machine will perform a self-test, followed by a harvest cycle to clear any in-process ice production. This start-up routine, (“after power is applied to the unit”), takes approximately 13 minutes to complete before an ice production cycle starts.

If the appliance does not start, confirm the wall outlet has power, and the control is in the "ICE" mode, (see Options section below). Do not start the ice machine in "ECO" mode. "ECO" mode should only be used after there is a full bin of ice.

Step 4: Assemble the panel to the door

The preferred method of attaching the panel to the door is to clamp the panel to the door so it cannot move while drilling the screw pilot holes. Use bar clamps or "C" clamps with pads on the clamping surfaces that will not mar the panel or the door. The custom overlay panel should be flush with the top of the door and centered along the width of the door. See Figure 33a. Drill holes through the gasket extrusion using the 10 holes as pilot holes. Use the drill size from the chart in Table "B", being careful not to drill through the front surface of the panel. If the overlay panel is thinner than 5 / 8 (16 mm) thick shorter screws will have to be obtained. Fasten the panel to the door with the 10 screws provided in the literature pack. (See Figure 38). Remove the clamps and replace the gasket in the gasket extrusion channels of the door. Some force may be required to seat the gasket into the channels. Be sure the gasket corners are seated properly.

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 guide:

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 electronic control showing the "ICE" position?

Check the control to be sure it is in the "ICE" 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^ F ( 13^ C). 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? The drain pump is designed to temporarily shut the unit off when large quantities of water create a high-limit condition. Wait a few minutes as the drain pump will continue to operate to dispose of the excess water. 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 11, 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.

Marvel MA15CLS2RS - Do you hear water being circulated in the ice - 1

WARNING

Electrocution Hazard

  • Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the appliance until the main electrical power has been disconnected. Turning the appliance control "OFF" does not remove electrical power from the unit's wiring.
  • Replace all parts and panels before operating.

Ice Production

Little or no ice production from the ice machine Is the electronic control set to the "ICE" position?

Check the control to be sure it is in the "ICE" position.

Is water getting to the ice machine? Make sure nothing is restricting the water supply such as a closed water valve or a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, or a kinked supply line, or low water pressure.

Has the ice machine just been started? A typical ice production cycle can take up to 1½ 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^ F ( 32^ C) for built-in ice machines or below 100^ F ( 38^ C) for freestanding ice machines. 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.

Unpleasant Odors may require the use of a charcoal filter on the water supply line.

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 or too small

Is there low ice consumption? Ice is slowly melting in the ice bin which will affect the size of the cubes. This is normal. 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.

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:

- Check to make sure water is not backing up in the ice bin.

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.

Marvel MA15CLS2RS - The ice machine is running but not producing ice: - 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 MA15CLS2RS - CAUTION - 1

CAUTION
