Plug in the power cord to a power  

  outlet and the current ambient air  
  temperature will be displayed on   
  the digital thermometer. If this  

 

  temperature is above 35C, freezing  
  pipes may not be possible. Should  
  the Icecap-Pro pipe freezer have   
  been stored in a hot location such  
  as a car on a hot summers day,
  before using press the power button
  and the cooling fans will start, the  
  temperature will lower to the  

 

  ambient room temperature.

  Press the freeze button 

 and the 

  jaw temperature will begin to drop.

.  

Factors that affect the freezing 

  times are:

 

a

   The ambient air temperature.

 

b

 

  The size of the pipe. Larger pipes  

   

take longer to freeze than smaller  

   

pipes.  

 

  The quality of thermal contact 

   

between the freezing components  

   

and the pipe.

 d

   The temperature of water within  

   

the pipe.

 

e

   The level of solar radiation. If    

   

possible, keep out of direct sunlight.

 

f

  Contaminated water. Corrosion 

   

inhibitors or anti-freeze within 

   

central heating systems may slow  

   

or possibly prevent freezing in  

   

high concentrations.

IMPORTANT

The Icecap-Pro contains an 

accurate and fast responding 

digital thermometer. During 

the freezing process it may be 

noticed that the temperature 

rises a few degrees quite 

quickly before stabilising.  

This is not a fault with the 

machine but is caused by ice 

breaking away from an ice 

plug as it is being formed and 

being replaced by warmer 

water from below.
