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.

ELECTRICAL

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. (See Figure 2).
• Do not use an adapter. (See Figure 3).
• 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.

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.

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.

INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

Select Location
The proper location will ensure the 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°F (13 to 38°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 countertops can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.
All Marvel Professional models with articulated hinges are intended for built-in applications only.
WARNING
An optional stacking kit, for 24″ wide models, is required to stack products. Failure to use a stacking kit could result in personal injury. Contact your dealer or Marvel customer service at 616-754-5601 to order.
For safety concerns, 15″ wide models should not be stacked.
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 airflow will result in increased energy usage and loss of cooling capacity. For this reason, it is important this area not be obstructed and the grille openings are kept clean. Marvel does not recommend the use of a custom-made grille as airflow may be restricted. (See Figure 8).

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, CCW) and lower (by turning the leveling leg in, CW).
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 9).

SIDE-BY-SIDE AND STACKING INSTALLATIONS

Side-by-Side Installation
Other Site Requirements
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s electrical specifications requirements.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the total of the widths listed under Cutout Dimensions in each unit’s Installation Guide. Each door can be opened individually (one at a time) without interference.

However, to ensure unobstructed door swing (opening both doors at the same time), 1/4″ (6.4 mm) of space needs to be maintained between the units.

Hinge-by-Hinge Installation (Mullion)
When installing two units hinge-by-hinge, 13/16″ (22 mm) is required for integrated models. Additional space may be needed for any knobs, pulls, or handles installed.

Stainless steel models which include the standard stainless handle will require 4-9/16″ (116 mm) to allow both doors to open to 90° at the same time.

INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE

Anti-Tip Device
WARNING
If your beverage center is not located under a counter top (free standing), you must use an anti-tip device installed as per these instructions. If the beverage center is removed from its location for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged with
the anti-tip bracket when you push the beverage center back into the original location. If the device is not properly engaged, there is a risk of the beverage center tipping over, with the potential for property damage or personal injury.
NOTE
If installing on a concrete floor, concrete fasteners are required, (not included with the anti-tip kit).
CAUTION
Any finished flooring should be protected with appropriate material to avoid damage when moving the unit.
Floor Mount Installation
The anti-tip bracket is to be located on the floor in the left or right rear corner of the wine cellar as shown in Figure 14.

Step by step instructions for locating the position of the bracket:

1. Decide where you want to place the beverage center.
   Slide it into place, being careful not to damage the floor, leaving 1″ (2.5 cm) of clearance from the rear wall to allow room for the anti-tip bracket.
2. Raise the rear leveling legs approximately 1 ⁄4″ (6 mm) to allow engagement with the anti-tip bracket. Level the unit by adjusting all the leveling legs as required. Turning the leveling leg counterclockwise will raise the unit and clockwise will lower the unit.
3. Make sure the beverage center is in the desired location, then mark on the floor the rear and side corner of the cabinet where the anti-tip bracket will be installed. If the installation does not allow marking the rear corner of the cabinet, then make temporary lines on the floor marking the front corner of the cabinet, excluding the door. Slide the beverage center out of the way. From the temporary line extend the sidewall line back 21 1 ⁄2″ (54.6 cm) as shown in Figure 15.
4. Align the anti-tip racket to the marks on the floor so the side of the bracket lines up with the side of the cabinet mark and the “V” notches on the anti-tip bracket line up with the end of the 21 1 ⁄2″ (54.6 cm) line (Rear of cabinet line).
5. Fasten the anti-tip bracket to the floor using the supplied screw. (See Figure 15).
6. Slide the cabinet back into position, making sure the rear cabinet leveling leg slides under the anti-tip bracket engaging the slot.

INSTALLING THE ANTI TIP DEVICE

NOTE
When the floor mounted anti-tip bracket is used the minimum adjusted height of the cabinet is increased by 3 ⁄8″ (9 mm).

Do NOT use an abrasive cleaner, solvent, polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.
Care of Appliance

1. Avoid leaning on the door, you may bend the door hinges or tip the appliance.
2. Exercise caution when sweeping, vacuuming, or mopping near the front of the appliance. Damage to the grille can occur.
3. Periodically clean the interior of the appliance as needed.
4. Periodically check and/or clean the front grille as needed.

In the event of a Power Failure
If a power failure occurs, try to correct it as soon as possible. Minimize the number of door openings while the power is off so as not to adversely affect the appliance’s temperature.
Light assembly replacement
All models use an LED to illuminate the interior of the appliance.
This component is very reliable, but should it fail, contact a qualified service technician for the replacement of the LED.

The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance
(cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other
heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance 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 meets your personal preference and provides the
proper storage for your stored contents.
11. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable
tem perature for the stored
contents.
12. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the

appliance requires the door to be open for an
extended
period of
time.
13. For wine storage
products:
When serving temperatures are not required,

return the compartment(s) set temperature to
the
ideal red and white wine long term storage
tem perature of 13°C /
55°F.
