TROUBLESHOOTING 

NO POWER

 

Check the unit is plugged in correctly. 

Check the fuse in the plug.

The Icecap-Pro has an internal overload 
protection circuit. Unplug the machine 
and leave for 1 minute to re-set.

ICECAP-PRO FAILS TO FREEZE 
PIPES – POSSIBLE CAUSES

Not allowing enough time for 
the freeze to occur (this is the 
most probable reason) – note 
particularly that plastic pipes have 
poor conductivity and will require 
substantially more time to freeze; other 
causes include: water moving within a 
pipe; a bad thermal contact between 
the freeze head and the pipe; the 
presence of antifreeze within a central 
heating system.

Remove both jaws from the pipes 
and compare the level of frost that 
builds up on all 4 freeze heads, which 
should be at a similar amount. If any 
jaw appears to not to have the same 
level of frost then it may be defective 
and require repair. If all 4 jaws appear 
to have similar amounts of frost and 
the onboard thermometer is reading a 
temperature of at least -15C it is very 
likely to be an irregularity within the 
pipework rather than the machine. This 
can be confirmed by carrying out a test 
freeze using a short piece of pipe filled 
with water, where the freezing process 
of the ice plug can be observed. 

COOLANT TOP UP

 

In the event of the coolant pump 
making an unusually loud noise and 
the freezer heads becoming warm. 
Unplug the unit, unscrew the reservoir 
fill plug check the coolant level is no 
more than 40mm below the surface. 
Top the coolant up if necessary, leaving 
a 10mm air gap below the fill plug. In 
the event of Blue coolant being leaked 
from the unit, unplug immediately and 
contact the point of sale for repair.

DISPOSAL 

The thermal contact paste is water 
based endemic and ecologically 
friendly and can be recycled or 
disposed of with normal waste. Cloths 
contaminated by the paste can be 
washed or disposed of in the normal 
way without concerns.

Components of the unit contain 
recyclable materials and should be 
put to recycling. For this purpose, 
registered and certified recycling 
companies are available. For an 
environmentally friendly disposal of 
non-recyclable parts please contact 
your local waste disposal authority.
