they sit out for “just a few days”.
If you are geng rid of your old refrigerator, please follow the
instrucons below to help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:
• Take o the doors or remove the drawers.
• Leave the shelves in place so children may not easily climb
inside.
If the unit was shipped or has been laying on its back for any
period of me allow the refrigerator to sit upright for a period of
at least 24 hours before plugging in. This will assure oil returns
to the compressor. Plugging the refrigerator in immediately may
cause damage to internal parts.

These refrigerators and freezers have been engineered for in-
stuonal and industrial hazardous locaons and meet Under-
writers Laboratories specicaons for Class 1 Groups C and D.
Approved by the New York City Board of Standards and Appeals
under Calendar Number 496-80-SA.
Select Locaon
The proper locaon will ensure peak performance of your ap-
pliance. Choose a locaon where the unit will be out of direct
sunlight and away from heat sources.
The condenser is mounted on the back of the cabinet so the unit
cannot be built in. At least 1-1/2 inches (3.8cm) of clearance
from the back wall is required for proper venlaon.
Installaon
The 4.5 and 6.1 cu. . refrigerators are designed for recessed as
well as freestanding installaon.
To recess the 4.5 and 6.1 cu. . models make the opening
25-7/8” (657.4mm) wide x 35-3/4” (908.1mm) high x 27-1/2”
(698.5mm) deep with ample provision for wiring as described
in the following paragraph “Sealing” instrucons. Other service
informaon can be found on pages 8 and 9. Provisions should be
made to easily remove the unit for servicing.
Do not back the unit up to heat ducts or hot water lines.
Cabinet Clearance
Venlaon is required from the boom front secon of the unit.
Keep this area open and clear of any obstrucons.
Leveling Legs
Adjustable legs at the front and rear corners of the unit should
be set so the unit is rmly posioned on the oor and level from
side to side and front to back. Turn leveling legs clockwise to
raise unit, counterclockwise to lower it. (See Figure 1).
Electrical Connecon
Check serial plate for correct power supply. Use only electrical
power supply as specied on your appliance serial plate.
Wiring
Hazardous locaon models are not supplied with power cords or
plugs. All wiring methods must comply with the latest Naonal
Electrical Code, Arcle 501-4 for Class 1, Divisions 1 and 2.
Leveling Legs
Front Grille, keep
this
area open.
Figure 1
Sealing
Arcle 501-5 of the Naonal Electrical Code Class 1, Division 1
requires that in Class 1 Division 1 locaons, seals shall be located
as follows:
In each conduit run entering an enclosure for switches , circuit
breakers, fuses, relays, resistors, or other apparatus which may
produce arcs, sparks, or high temperatures, seals shall be placed
as close as praccable and in no case more than 18” (45.7cm) for
such enclosures.

Front Grille
Do not obstruct the front grill. The openings within the front grill
allow air to ow through the condenser heat exchanger. Restric-
ons to this air ow 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 ow
may be restricted because of inadequate openings. (See Figure
1).
Handle Installaon
1. Remove the handle, (2) screws, and 5/32” hex key wrench
from the bag shipped inside the cabinet.
2. Locate handle opposite the hinges and secure in place using
the (2) screws and the hex key wrench.
(See Figure 2).

Step 1: Verify door alignment
The door should be parallel to the sides and top of the refrig-
erator. If alignment is necessary the door may be adjusted by
loosening the 2 screws which secure the hinge adapter brackets
on the top and boom of the door and adjusng the door side
to side. Use a 5/32” allen wrench for this procedure. (See Figure
3 below). When nished aligning the door, ghten the screws
securely.
For the door to close properly, it is necessary to maintain a
minimum space of 9/32” (7mm) between the door and cabinet
ange (See Figure 3). This space can be adjusted by adjusng the
top and boom hinge adapter brackets.

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Adjusng the temperature control
The temperature control sha is located behind the front grill on
the right side of the cabinet. (See Figure 1, on page 4). It can be
adjusted with a at bladed screwdriver.
Inially set the control midway between the turning ranges.
Then adjust to the temperature that suits your applicaon. The
more the sha is turned clockwise, the cooler the temperature.
To turn o the refrigeraon system turn the sha counterclock-
wise unl it stops.
Defrosng Instrucons
Model 6EAR (all-refrigerator) automacally defrosts its cooling
plate during each compressor o cycle. No manual defrosng is
required.
The combinaon refrigerator / freezer (6ERF) and the freezer
(4EAF) are manual defrost models and require occasional de-
frosng. Never use a scraper or any tool that might scratch or
pierce the cooling plate. Follow these steps whenever 1/4 inch or
more of frost accumulates.
1. Set the temperature control to the “OFF” posion by turn-
ing the temperature control sha counterclockwise unl it
stops. This will turn o the refrigeraon system.
2. Remove the contents from the unit.
3. Place pans of hot water on the cooling plate if you wish to
speed up defrosng.
4. Wipe out the interior and replace the contents.
5. Set the temperature control to the desired level.
In the Event of a Power Failure
Minimize the number of door openings to prevent a gradual rise
in temperature while the power is o.
NOTE: If a power interrupon occurs, the unit may take ve (5) to
ten (10) minutes to restart.
Energy Saving Tips
The following suggesons will minimize the cost of operang
your refrigeraon appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (cook-
er, dishwasher, etc.). heang air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Assure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door are
not obstructed and kept clean to allow venlaon for the
refrigeraon system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When inially loading your new product, or whenever large
quanes 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-point temperature.
6. Maintaining a relavely full storage compartment will re-
quire less appliance run me than an empty compartment.
7. Assure 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 duraon of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set-point that meets
your personal preference and provides the proper storage
for your stored contents.
11. For wine storage products:
a. When serving temperatures are not required, re-
turn the compartment(s) set-point to the ideal red
and white wine long term storage temperature of
13°C / 55°F.
b. For Dual-Zone product with two (2) independent
temperature controlled compartments, use the
lower compartment for the coldest storage /
serving temperature, (i.e.- red wines on top, white
wines in lower).
12. Minimize use of display lighng opon on glass door
products, (light stays on with door closed).
13. When on vacaon or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tempera-
ture for the stored contents.
14. Set the control to the “o” posion if cleaning the unit
requires the door to be open for an extended period of
me.
15) Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located
on the back of the unit. See page 8.

Cleaning instrucons
Condenser
The condenser tubing or ns behind the cabinet do not require
frequent cleaning; however, sasfactory cooling depends on
adequate venlaon over the condenser. Be sure that nothing
obstructs the air ow openings in the front grill (see Figure 1).
At least once or twice a year brush or vacuum the condenser for
ecient performance.
Use care when cleaning the condenser. The condenser ns are
sharp and could cause cuts.
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 de-
tergent.
Door Gasket
The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap and water, a bak-
ing soda soluon, or a mild scouring powder.
