USING YOUR MICROSENTRY™ REFRIGERATOR CONTROL

During initial startup, or anytime power is interrupted, there will

be an approximate 5 minute delay before the refrigerator starts.

During this period the controller will be assessing the tempera-

ture in the refrigerator and the display will appear erratic, this is

normal. The desired set temperature can be programmed during

this start up period.

Starting your refrigerator

The refrigerator will begin start up when initially plugged in or

when power resumes after a power outage. At this time the re-

frigerator will take approximately 5 minutes to begin running as

noted above. If the refrigerator has been turned off during use,

“OFF” will appear on the display. To start the refrigerator from

the “OFF” position press and hold the ON/OFF button for three

seconds.

Set temperature

To set the set temperature, press and continue to hold “SET”

button. After one second, set temperature will be displayed.

While holding “SET” button use the “WARMER” or “COLDER”

button to desired set temperature.

NOTE: Momentarily pressing & releasing “SET” button will access

information menu of control. Refer to appendix A for information

on this feature.

Refrigerator operation

The available temperature range of the refrigerator is 1° to 7° C.

It may take up to 24 hours for your refrigerator to reach desired

temperature. This will depend on amount of contents loaded

and number of openings and closings of the door.

For best results allow refrigerator to “pull down” to desired set

temperature before loading. Once contents are loaded, allow

at least 48 hours for temperature to stabilize before making any

adjustments to the set temperature.

Alarms

Your MicroSentry™ refrigerator control will monitor refrigerator

function and alert you with a series of audible and visual alarms.

For all alarm and error codes, the alarm LED located in the top

left corner of the display panel will illuminate a steady amber.

For all alarm and error codes except condenser cleaning, an au-

dible alarm will sound, beeping in one (1) second intervals.

Door Ajar Alarm: If the door has been left

open for over five (5) minutes, the alarm will sound

and the display panel will flash “do.” The alarm will

stop once the door has been closed.

High and Low Temperature Alarm: If your unit

reaches an unacceptable temperature, above or be-

low your set temperature for too long, the tempera-

ture alarm will sound in one (1) second intervals.

The display panel will flash either “hi” or “Lo” de-

pending upon the condition. “hi” indicates a high temperature

alarm, and “Lo” indicates a low temperature alarm. How far

the temperature must deviate above or below set temperature,

and for how long the temperature must remain there before the

temperature alarm is triggered is fully customizable. See Appen-

dix A for details on how to configure the alarm.

Temperature Sensor Fault: If the control

detects that the temperature sensor is not properly

functioning, an audible alarm will sound, and “E1”

will flash on the display. Please call AGA MARVEL customer ser-

vice or your dealer if this error code is displayed.

Condenser Needs Cleaning: When the refrig-

erator has reached the recommended amount of run

time for a condenser cleaning, “cL” will flash on the

display as a reminder to clean the condenser. No audible alarm

is associated with the condenser clean warning. To clear the

alarm:

1) Press and quickly release the SET key 7 times.

“cnd” will be displayed on the screen.

2) While “cnd” is displayed, press and hold the SET key.

The display will show the number of weeks the con-

denser has been operating.

3) Continue to hold the SET key, then press and release the

ON/OFF key. The number shown on the display will be

reset to 00.

4) Release the SET key.

5) The display will return to normal operation after a few

seconds with no key presses.

See the detailed owner’s reference guide for further details.
