HOW TO OPERATE YOUR REFRIGERATED BEVERAGE CENTER

Set the Control

Insert Wine Bottles

The total available temperature range of the unit is

from 39°F to the high sixties, depending on the

thermostat setting and location of the cabinet. The

middle range on the control is from the mid-forties

to the mid-fifties depending on ambient

temperature and location of the cabinet. The

temperature can be lowered or raised by turning

the control clockwise or counterclockwise,

respectively. As with any refrigeration product,

there is a slight temperature variance at different

locations within the cabinet. For example, the

coolest area will be in the rear of the middle of the

cabinet. Commodities on the top shelf will be 3° to

8° warmer. This section and the bottom cabinet

step section are the warmest areas. Items in the

front of the middle shelves will be 1° to 4° warmer

than the rear of the shelves. Position your wine

inventory accordingly on your wine shelf.

The wine rack roll-out shelf holds eight bottles.

See figure 3 for typical wine bottle orientation.

Front Bottles

necks facing rear

Rear Bottles

necks facing front

Wine rack can be located at the middle or bottom

part of the cabinet interior. For red wines, place

wine shelf at bottom shelf position in the cabinet.

Then put a glass shelf in the next higher position.

For white and sparkling wines, put the wine shelf

on the middle shelf position in the cabinet. Place

the remaining shelves as desired. Also, there is a

fixed, wooden, bottle cradle in the bottom, step

section of the cabinet. Six bottles of wine may be

stored there.

Do not pull out upper glass shelf when tall

bottles are placed upright through the opening

in the hinged wire shelf. Doing so may cause

the tall, upright bottles to fall backwards.

The glass shelves and fixed position wire rack are

for general beverage storage, such as beer and

soft drinks. Opened wine bottles and tall beverage

containers may be stored on the glass shelf

closest to the cabinet top. Just lift the hinged

section of the fixed position upper wire rack to

provide clearance for the bottles and/or containers

to stand upright.

To start your appliance, use a screwdriver to turn

the control clockwise to the middle thermostat

setting (see figure 2). Once the beverage center is

loaded, allow at least 48 hours for the unit to

stabilize before making any adjustments to the

initial setting.

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING

Condenser

The condenser tubing inside the cabinet does not

require frequent cleaning; however, satisfactory

cooling depends on adequate ventilation over the

coils. Be sure that nothing obstructs the required

air flow openings in front of the cabinet. At least

once or twice a year brush or vacuum lint and dirt

from the condenser for efficient performance by

unscrewing the grille on the bottom front of the

cabinet.

Light tube replacement consists of using a small

phillips head screwdriver to remove the two

screws that hold a cover plate over the back

section of the light tube. Set the screws and cover

plate aside for re-assembly later.

Cabinet

The painted cabinet can be washed with mild soap

and water and thoroughly rinsed with clear water.

Never use abrasive scouring powders.

Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, gently lever

the front section of the light tube down to allow it

to be pulled clear of the light housing.

Interior

Wash interior compartment with mild soap and

water. Do not use an abrasive powder, solvent,

polish cleaner or undiluted detergent.

Disconnect the two insulated electrical connectors

from the cabinet’s electrical cable and discard the

old light tube. Reconnect the insulated electrical

connector of the new light tube to the cabinet’s

electrical cable connectors. Make sure they are

secure and fully inserted.

Glass Door

Use a glass cleaner or mild soap and water and

soft cloth to clean the glass door model. Do not

use any abrasive powders.

Carefully realign the light tube’s electrical

terminals back into the rear of the light enclosure

channel making sure not to crimp them. Gently

insert the light tube along the length of the light

enclosure channel. Press the light tube gently into

the light enclosure channel. Only a small part of

the light tube should project below the ceiling of

the unit. DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO FIT THE

LIGHT TUBE.

Door Gasket

The vinyl gasket may be cleaned with mild soap

and water, a baking soda solution or a mild

scouring powder.

Light Tube Replacement

WARNING! DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD

BEFORE

REPLACEMENT. Failure to do so may result in an

electrical shock that could severely injure you.

ATTEMPTING

LIGHT

TUBE

Place the light tube terminal cover plate back in its

original position on the light enclosure’s flange.

Re-use the original two screws to secure it in

place. Plug the unit into the electrical socket.

Check to see if the light tubes operate properly.

Your light tube’s replacement is complete.

This product uses two, 6 watt light tubes to

illuminate the interior of the unit. The light tubes

are very reliable electrical components, but should

either or both light tubes not function properly,

please call the dealer you purchased your unit

from for replacement light tubes. Use only original

equipment light tubes from your dealer or

manufacturer.

The light tubes are not covered by your guarantee.

Replacement tubes can be obtained from your

service provider or from Marvel Industries.

FEATURES

Adjustable Temperature Control

Please see “How to Operate Your Refrigerated

Beverage Center” on page two.

Interior Light and Switch

The interior light makes it easy to view the

contents of your beverage center. When the

switch is in the “OFF” position, the light will come

on when the door is opened. When the switch is

pushed such that the “red” portion of the rocker is

showing, the switch is in the “on” position and the

interior light will stay on continuously. Remember

to turn the off the light when it is no longer

needed.

Roll-out Shelves

Single Bottle Racks

The roll-out shelves may be pulled out

approximately 14 inches to facilitate product

loading and retrieval. Do not lean on or press

down heavily on the shelves, doing so may

damage the shelves or their content. Pull out

shelves gently to minimize any possible item

shifting. To maintain stability, avoid pulling out

more than one shelf at any time.

Because bottles are not stacked on top of each

other, you can easily view and access your

inventory without disturbing other bottles.

The roll-out shelves are equipped with

removable center section that allows you to

customize the storage capability of your beverage

center. Your unit is shipped with two glass

shelves,one wine rack, one wooden bottle cradle,

and one fixed wire shelf. For added versatility,

additional center sections are available. Please

contact dealer or see Marvel’s website at

www.marvelindustries.com for ordering.

THINGS TO REMEMBER

Loading Tips and Suggestions for Wine Rack

The wooden, bottom bottle cradle may be

removed for storing "jug" wines. Just remove the

two screws that secure the cradle to the cabinet

floor.

You can store magnum bottles and other large

bottles on any of the shelves (except for the top

shelf) by removing the shelf directly above them

or placing the shelf at a position allowing for

proper clearance.

Commodities on the top rack directly under the

light will be exposed to a slightly higher

temperature when the light is on. REMEMBER

TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT WHEN IT IS NO

LONGER NEEDED.

Keep wines that you plan to use for everyday

drinking and entertaining on the front half of the

racks where labels are completely visible. Place

wines for aging or longer term storing in rear.

What to do in the Event of a Power Failure

Most power failures are corrected within two hours

and will not affect the unit’s temperature providing

you minimize the number of door openings while

the power is off. A gradual rise in temperature

should not have any adverse effect on your wine if

power is out for a longer period. If it is extremely

hot, you may want to move your wines to the

coolest location you can find until power is

restored.

Normal Responsibilities of the Owner Include

All freight charges.

Damage sustained in transit (see page 2)

Mileage charge(s) for service calls.

Proper installation.

Alterations to original equipment.
