Connecting the Water Supply
Before Installing The Water Supply Line,
You Will Need:
Basic Tools: adjustable wrench, at-blade screwdriver,
and PhillipsTM screwdriver
Access to a household cold water line with water
pressure between 30 and 100 psi.
A water supply line made of ¼ inch (6.4 mm) OD,
copper or stainless steel tubing. To determine the
length of tubing needed, measure the distance from
the ice maker inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator
to your cold water pipe. Then add approximately 7
feet (2.1 meters), so the refrigerator can be moved out
for cleaning (as shown).
A shutoff valve to connect the water supply line to
your household water system. DO NOT use a self-
piercing type shutoff valve.
Do not reuse compression tting or use thread seal
tape.
A compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) for connecting
a copper water supply line to the ice maker inlet valve.
To Connect Water Supply Line To Ice
Maker Inlet Valve
1. Disconnect refrigerator from electric power source.
2. Place end of water supply line into sink or bucket. Turn
ON water supply and ush supply line until water is clear.
Turn OFF water supply at shutoff valve.
3. Remove plastic cap from water valve inlet and discard cap.
4. If you use copper tubing - Slide brass compression
nut, then ferrule (sleeve) onto water supply line. Push water
supply line into water valve inlet as far as it will go (¼ inch
/ 6.4 mm). Slide ferrule (sleeve) into valve inlet and nger
tighten compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half
turn with a wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 1.
If you use braided exible stainless steel tubing
- The nut and ferrule are already assembled on the tubing.
Slide compression nut onto valve inlet and nger tighten
compression nut onto valve. Tighten another half turn with a
wrench; DO NOT over tighten. See Figure 2.
5. With steel clamp and screw, secure water supply line
(copper tubing only) to rear panel of refrigerator as shown.
6. Coil excess water supply line (copper tubing only), about
2½ turns, behind refrigerator as shown and arrange coils so
they do not vibrate or wear against any other surface.
7. Turn ON water supply at shutoff valve and tighten any
connections that leak.
8. Reconnect refrigerator to electrical power source.
9. To turn ice maker on, lower wire signal arm (freezer ce
maker) or set the ice maker’s On/Off power switch to the
“On” position (fresh food ice maker).
WARNING
To avoid electric shock, which can cause death or
severe personal injury, disconnect the refrigerator
from electrical power before connecting a water
supply line to the refrigerator.
CAUTION
To Avoid Property Damage:
Copper or Stainless Steel braided tubing
is recommended for the water supply line.
Water supply tubing made of ¼ inch plastic
is not recommended to be used. Plastic
tubing greatly increases the potential for
water leaks, and the manufacturer will not be
responsible for any damage if plastic tubing
is used for the supply line.
DO NOT install water supply tubing in areas
where temperatures fall below freezing.
Chemicals from a malfunctioning softener
can damage the ice maker. If the ice maker
is connected to soft water, ensure that the
softener is maintained and working properly.
NOTE
Check with your local building authority for
re
commendations on water lines and associated
materials prior to installing your new refrigerator.
For homes with existing shut-off valves a braided
stainless steel water line is recommended, and for
homes without an existing valve a copper water
line with self-tapping saddle valve is
recommended. Please refer to
www.marvelrefrigeration.com for more information.

Automatic Ice Maker
Ice maker operation & care
After the refrigerator is installed properly, the ice maker
can produce ice within 24 hours. It can completely ll
an ice bin in about three days.
When using the ice maker for the rst time and in
order for the ice maker to work properly, it is necessary
to clear air from water lter tubing. Once ice maker
begins making ice, allow the bucket to ll completely,
then discard the rst TWO FULL buckets of ice. It will
take at least two days to completely ll the bucket on
regular ice making mode or 1½ days on fast ice mode.
The ice maker produces approximately 2 to 2.5 lbs (0.9
to 1.1 kg) of ice every 24 hours depending on usage
conditions. The ice bin will hold approximately 7 lbs
(3.2 kg) of ice.
IMPORTANT
Your ice maker is turned on at the factory so it can
work as soon as you install your refrigerator. If you
cannot connect a water supply, lift the ice maker’s
wire signal arm to turn it off. Otherwise, the ice
maker’s ll valve may make a loud chattering noise
when it attempts to operate without water.
Turning the ice maker on and off
Ice production is controlled by lifting/lowering the ice
maker’s wire signal arm. To gain access to the ice
maker, pull the freezer drawer out. Lift the wire signal
arm to turn the ice maker OFF and lower the wire
signal arm to turn it ON.
Ice maker tips
If your refrigerator is not connected to a water supply
or the water supply is turned off, turn off the ice maker
by lifting wire signal arm.
The following sounds are normal when the ice maker
is operating:
4. Allow the ice bin to dry completely before replacing in the

Storing Food and Saving Energy
Ideas for storing foods
Fresh food storage
Keep the fresh food compartment between 34°F and
40°F with an optimum temperature of 37°F.
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves, which
reduces air circulation and causes uneven cooling.
Fruits and vegetables
Store fruits and vegetables in crisper drawers, where
trapped moisture helps preserve food quality for
longer time periods.
Wash items and remove excess water.
Wrap any items that have strong odors or high
moisture content.
Meat
Wrap raw meat and poultry separately and securely
to prevent leaks and contamination of other foods or
surfaces.
Use the Temperature Adjustable Cold Zone drawer
and set to meat/poultry setting for short-term storage.
Any meat to be kept longer than two days should be
frozen.
Frozen food storage
Keep the freezer compartment at 0°F or lower.
A freezer operates most efciently when it is at least
2
/
3
full.
Packaging foods for freezing
To minimize food dehydration and quality
deterioration, use aluminum foil, freezer wrap, freezer
bags, or airtight containers. Force as much air out
of the packages as possible and seal them tightly.
Trapped air can cause food to dry out, change color,
and develop an off-avor (freezer burn).
Wrap fresh meats and poultry with suitable freezer
wrap prior to freezing.
Do not refreeze meat that has completely thawed.
Loading the freezer
Prior to grocery shopping, activate “fast freeze” so that
on your return you can ensure your newly purchased
food designated for the freezer will be preserved as
quickly as possible.
Activating “fast freeze” also will help your freezer more
efciently maintain the selected temperature after
placing new purchases with pre-existing frozen foods.
Avoid adding too much warm food to the freezer at
one time. This overloads the freezer, slows the rate
of freezing, and can raise the temperature of frozen
foods.
Leave a space between packages, so cold air can
circulate freely, allowing food to freeze as quickly as
possible.
Ideas for saving energy
Installation
Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room,
out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or
registers.
Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing
appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If
this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added
layer of insulation between the two appliances will
help the refrigerator operate more efciently.
Level the refrigerator so that the doors close tightly.
Temperature settings
Refer to the “Controls” section for procedures on
temperature settings.
Food storage
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator or blocking cold
air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run
longer and use more energy.
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture
build-up inside the unit.
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.
Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
Do not place a hot container directly on a cold shelf.
Remember, such an extreme temperature change
may damage the glass.

Normal Operating Sounds
Understanding the sounds you
may hear
Your new, high-efciency refrigerator may introduce
unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally indicate
your refrigerator is operating correctly. Some surfaces
on oors, walls, and kitchen cabinets may make these
sounds more noticeable.
The following is a list of major components in your
refrigerator and the sounds they can cause:
A Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create
a boiling or gurgling sound.
B Evaporator fan You may hear air being forced through the
refrigerator by the evaporator fan.
C Defrost heater During defrost cycles, water dripping onto
the defrost heater may cause a hissing or sizzling sound.
After defrosting, a popping sound may occur.
D Automatic ice maker When ice has been produced, you will
hear ice cubes falling into the ice bin. Ice maker fan, water
valve activation, and refrigerant gas uid may create sounds
from its operation.
E Electronic control & automatic defrost control These parts
can produce a snapping or clicking sound when turning the
cooling system on and off.
F Condenser fan You may hear air being forced through the
condenser.
G Compressor Modern, high-efciency compressors run
much faster than older models. The compressor may have
a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
H Water valve Makes a buzzing sound each time it opens to
ll the ice maker.
I Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping
into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.
J Condenser May create minimal sounds from forced air.
K Motorized Temperature Adjustable Cold Zone drawer
M Motorized damper May produce a light humming during
operation.
N Temperature Adjustable Cold Zone drawer fan Turns off
when door opens or the Cold Zone drawer is turned off.
NOTE
During automatic defrost cycle, a red glow in the
back wall vents of your freezer compartment is
normal.
NOTE
Energy efcient foam in your refrigerator is not a
sound insulator.
